The eleventh album of an incredible 42-year career has been released by the band Metallica. What “72 seasons” tells – through the lyrics of James Hetfield – about the 4 seasons in a person’s life until he comes of age.

Whether some agree or not, the legendary Los Angeles band paved the way trash Venom may have preceded it synthetically, Slayer may have pioneered the idiom, but Metallica and Hatfield’s unimaginably fast and precise muffled palm guitar (combined with his distinctive guitar tone) essentially created this new genre of music for the time.

“Kill them all” was a true sonic revolution when it came out in 1983. Of course, there were bands before them that played just as fast, but Metallica perfected everything that was born at that time thanks to their wide influence (from Judas Priest and Mercyful Fate later to Diamond Head and Holocaust).

In the past, Metallica hasn’t hesitated to “pull up” to expand its audience. Today, however, they focus on their core followers (the rest remain attached to “Nothing Else Matters” and “Unforgiven I” and “II”) and their musical existence, clearly freed from “ghosts” and dark days and with great difficulty (as in the previous album, and this is all ( !) tracks have corresponding video clips) they turn on the lights of their “tent” again.

One day rolling stones, wrote “Thrash is an overly pejorative term for this meta-metal marvel of aggression directed with incredible precision.” And Metallica seems to be taking it seriously again. As long as they last…
