Metallica – 72 Seasons (CD)
Product Details
Metallica's first studio album in seven years arrived with the band still operating on their own terms, releasing through their own Blackened Recordings label and touring the record across arenas worldwide through 2023 and 2024. Hetfield and Ulrich have been writing together for over four decades now, and the themes here, childhood trauma, identity, self-reckoning, run deeper than the riff-first reputation might suggest to the uninitiated.
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.”
-James Hetfield
