72 Seasons is the eleventh studio album by Metallica, released in 2023 and marking the band’s first full-length collection of new material since Hardwired... to Self-Destruct in 2016.
Produced by Greg Fidelman alongside James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich, the album delivers over 77 minutes of heavy, riff-driven metal that continues the band’s modern era sound while drawing inspiration from the speed and aggression of their classic thrash roots.
The album title refers to the first 18 years of a person’s life — the “72 seasons” that help shape identity and worldview. According to James Hetfield, the concept explores how childhood experiences influence who we become as adults and how those early beliefs can either shape or limit our lives.
