METALLICA - 72 Seasons - 2 x LP VINYL - BRAND NEW

Metallica - 72 Seasons 

Metallica returns with their explosive eleventh studio album, 72 Seasons, released in 2023 through their own label, Blackened Recordings. A relentless and uncompromising record, 72 Seasons delivers the signature heavy metal intensity that has defined the band for decades.Produced by Greg Fidelman alongside James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich, the 12-track album clocks in at over 77 minutes, marking Metallica’s first full-length collection of new material since Hardwired…To Self-Destruct  in 2016.

On the album’s concept, James Hetfield explains: "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 a reenactment or reaction to these childhood experiences. Prisoners of childhood or breaking free of those bondages we carry."
