Metallica - Premiere New Single 'Lux Æterna', Announce Album
Metallica have lots of news to share today. First, they present a brand new single/video called "Lux Æterna". The latter will appear on the band's upcoming full length offering, 72 Seasons, due on April 14th 2023. The successor to 2016's Hardwired... To Self-Destruct will be comprised of 12 new songs and more than 77 minutes in total. Alongside new album and first single announcement, Metallica also reveal a world touring plan.
“Is there a special meaning to the title?” you ask. James explains it best: "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."
Track listing:
01. 72 Seasons
02. Shadows Follow
03. Screaming Suicide
04. Sleepwalk My Life Away
05. You Must Burn!
06. Lux Æterna
07. Crown Of Barbed Wire
08. Chasing Light
09. If Darkness Had A Son
10. Too Far Gone?
11. Room Of Mirrors
12. Inamorata

This music is so fake, soulless and corporate that they might as well play this in the elevators, at least at Blackened recordings...Or in their garages because I am sure they have elevators there as well. Now, these are hardened people who know the world, who traveled the world 1000 times over and who now cry on stage over "mental health" issues? And now we have their 72 seasons of corp tralalalala bs. Give out few of your millions to the poor and sick out in the world and you might get better. Mentally. Indeed their last honest album came out 34 years ago.

Written by gavrosaurus on 03.12.2022 at 11:16 Actually they do give to charity, but they don't make a fuss about it. I still don't understand how they are fake or dishonest. If one dislikes their later day music, that's fine, but calling them dishonest or fake, that's a totally different thing. I don't get it. I will say I think Death Magnetic is rather average and Hardwired... a bit uneven, so I'm not singing their praises.

Written by Cthulu on 01.12.2022 at 05:50 They've done it before so why not do it again? Jump to the 1:30 mark And here's the original riff that came the previous year. Here you can jump to the 1:00 minute mark.

Even though I posted the comparison clip that shows a lot of similarities between the two songs, I don't really think Metallica ripped off Kat. Nor do I think they ripped off Dream Theater. Such similarities between songs happen all the time, and most of the time people do not notice them. But with a band like Metallica, everything they do gets dissected and analyzed to kingdom come. Try this: EDIT: "Lux" means "light" in Latin

Man, really hatred towards Metallica becomes beyond absurd sometimes. In this way I would say: NAH, THE LAST 'TULLICA HONEST MUZIC WAZ IN THE "POWAH MEROL" DEMOS!

Written by mikeprado30 on 08.12.2022 at 23:21 This is what baffles me too. The cover is bad, because it's yellow. So profound and mature. Song titles are, as someone put it, "dad song titles". So profound and mature. Even if the band released a black/white/blue/whatever cover with nothing on it, poeple would shit on it: "it's blank, their creativity reached rock bottom! they didn't even put the logo on the cover!" The last Metallica album I (mostly) liked was "Load", every album that followed was a dissappointment to some extent. Moreover, they only have three albums I like from start to finish (three first ones, and yes, And Justice is not that great in my opinion, shoot me). Metallica is looong past the peak of their creativity. I don't expect anything great from them anymore. But shitting on whatever they do only because it's them is ridiculous and idiotic.
