Metallica has officially announced the release of their highly anticipated 12th studio album, 72 Seasons, set to drop on April 14, 2023, through the band’s own Blackened Recordings. This limited edition violet vinyl captures the essence of Metallica’s sound, showcasing a collection of 12 powerful tracks that span over 77 minutes. Produced by Greg Fidelman alongside band members James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich, 72 Seasons stands as the band’s first full-length album of fresh material since 2016’s Hardwired…To Self-Destruct.
