Late last year, METALLICA shocked the rock and metal world with their first new song in six years, the throwback Motörhead-ish ripper “Lux Æterna.”
The lead single off their upcoming 77-minute, 12-track album, 72 Seasons, the NWOBHM-inflected throwback hinted at old-school things to come, but today (January 19th), the heavy-metal titans reared their heads again with a second 72 Seasons single, “Screaming Suicide,” which leans a little more into the mid-tempo and longer-form approach of latter-day METALLICA.

72 Seasons is out April 14th, 2023 via the band’s own Blackened Recordings.
