Hyderabad: Metallica has unveiled the title track of its forthcoming 12th studio album, ‘72 Seasons’. A seven-and-a-half-minute opus that opens the new record, ‘72 Seasons’ is the fourth advance offering from its namesake — following the recent release of the “epic” (Rolling Stone) ‘If Darkness Had A Son’, hailed by Consequence as “a sonic retrospective of (Metallica’s) career”, as well as the “scorching” (Guitar World) ‘Screaming Suicide’ and “thundering, breakneck” (Billboard) first single ‘Lux Æterna’.
‘72 Seasons’ sets the tone for the expansive and unrelenting 12-song, 77-minute album. The Hetfield/Ulrich/Hammett-penned epic is nothing short of an embodiment of the concept behind the new record’s title, as previously detailed in James Hetfield’s own words: “72 seasons. The first 18 years of our lives that form our true or false selves. The concept that we were told ‘who we are’ by our parents. A possible pigeonholing around what kind of personality we are. I think the most interesting part of this is the continued study of those core beliefs and how it affects our perception of the world today. Much of our adult experience is reenactment or reaction to these childhood experiences. Prisoners of childhood or breaking free of those bondages we carry.”
