Good news for true blue fans: Metallica will premiere their forthcoming 12th studio album, 72 Seasons. For one night only on Thursday, April 13, 72 Seasons will be played in full in pummeling surround sound, exclusively for cinema audiences worldwide—with every one of the new songs featuring its own music video and exclusive commentary from the band.
The actual release of the album itself is Friday, April
Tickets for Metallica: 72 Seasons – Global Premiere will be available beginning Thursday, March 2 at metallica.film
The two cuts I’ve heard so far sound slick (for better or worse) but definitely maintain the power of the band (I don’t know how Hetfield even has a voice after this many years.)
Preceded by the newly released album track “Screaming Suicide” and its brand-new lyric video, and first single “Lux Æterna” (posted below) the album runs a generous 77 minutes, 12 tracks.
