I METALLIC they will release the new album”72 seasons” on April 14, 2023 for Recordings blackened. The record was produced by Greg Feldmann, James Hetfield And Lars Ulrich.
The packaging and the graphic aspect of the disc have been taken care of by David Turner.
About the title the frontman James Hetfield declares:
“72 seasons, i.e. the first 18 years of our life in which our true or false self is formed. The concept is that we have been told ‘who we are’ by our parents. This is a possible pigeonhole about what kind of personality we are. I think the most interesting part of this is studying those core beliefs and how they affect our perception of the world today. Much of our experience as adults is a recollection or reaction to these childhood experiences. Prisoners of childhood or free from those bonds”.
This is the video of the new single “Eternal light” directed by Tim Saccenti:
