On April 14th Metallica will release their highly anticipated new album 72 Seasons. After scoring yet another number-one hit with the song “Lux Aeterna” they released two more songs from the album including “Screaming Suicide” and “If Darkness Had a Son.” Now comes the title track, the official follow-up single to Lux. Here are some words from frontman James Hetfield.
“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.”
