\tMetallica has confirmed the title and release date of its forthcoming 12th studio album: \u201c72 Seasons\u201d will be available April 14, 2023 via the band’s own Blackened Recordings. Produced by Greg Fidelman with founding members James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich, and clocking in at over 77 minutes, the 12-track album is Metallica’s first full length collection of new material since 2016’s \u201cHardwired\u2026To Self-Destruct.\u201d<\/p>\n

\tThe band has dropped the first single from the album, \u201cLux \u00c6terna,\u201d a three-and-a-half-minute-long blast that recalls the band’s early albums, which got a big revival with the prominent use of their 1986 classic \u201c Master of Puppets\u201d in the series \u201cStranger Things\u201d earlier this year.<\/p>\n

\tSpeaking on the concept of the album title, James Hetfield said: \u201c72 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.\u201d The full tracklist appears below.<\/p>\n
