Metallica postpones Arizona concert after James Hetfield tests positive for COVID-19

<p>Metallica has unveiled the title track of its forthcoming 12th studio album,<em> 72 Seasons</em>. A seven-and-a-half-minute opus that opens the new record, <em>72 Seasons</em>, is the fourth advance offering from its namesake—following the recent release of the “epic” <em>If Darkness Had A Son</em>,&nbsp;hailed by Consequence as “a sonic retrospective of (Metallica’s) career,” as well as the “scorching”&nbsp;<em>Screaming Suicide</em>&nbsp;and &nbsp;“thundering, breakneck”&nbsp;first single <em>Lux Æterna</em>.</p>

<p><em>72 Seasons </em>sets the tone for the expansive and unrelenting 12-song, 77-minute album. The Hetfield/Ulrich/Hammett-penned epic is nothing short of an embodiment of the concept behind the new record’s title,&nbsp;<br />
Commenting on the title of the band's latest album, frontman James Hetfield said, <em>72 seasons</em>. The first 18 years of our lives form our true or false selves. The concept that we were told ‘who we are’ by our parents. 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 a reenactment or reaction to these childhood experiences. Prisoners of childhood or breaking free of those bondages we carry.”</p>

<p><em>72 Seasons,</em>&nbsp;the song, is available now to stream and download, and as an instant great track with all pre-orders. <em>72 Seasons,</em> the album, will be released on April 14, 2023, via Metallica’s Blackened Recordings.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Produced by Greg Fidelman with Hetfield &amp; Ulrich, <em>72 Seasons</em> is the first new Metallica studio album since 2016’s <em>Hardwired…To Self-Destruct.</em> It will be released on 2LP 140g black vinyl and limited-edition variants, CD, digital, and in Dolby Atmos.</p>

Metallica unveils new track from the upcoming album 72 Seasons

Metallica has acquired a majority interest in one of the largest vinyl pressing companies in the U.S, Furnace Record Pressing, a leading provider of high-quality vinyl records and related services.

Metallica acquires furnace, one of America’s largest Vinyl-manufacturing companies

<p>American heavy metal band Metallica has bought a factory to manufacture their own vinyl records, reported Billboard. The factory, called Furnace Record Pressing in Alexandria, Virginia, has made records for the band for the last 15 years. The decision, while wild, is not without a reason as the format has seen a resurgence in popularity of late. It is called 'vinyl revival' or 'vinyl resurgence'. The format sold more than CDs for the first time since 1987. And Metallica sells a lot of vinyl records, more than other music acts. The Guardian reported that the band sold 387,000 copies of their albums in the format in 2022 without releasing a new album. This was sixth-best performance in the US.</p>

<p>“We couldn’t be more happy to take our partnership with Furnace and its founders to the next level," Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich said in a statement (quoted by Billboard).</p>

<h2>What is vinyl resurgence?</h2>

<p>The vinyl resurgence or revival refers to the resurgence in popularity of vinyl records as a music format. Vinyl records were the dominant form of music distribution for many decades, but with the advent of digital technology and CDs, they became less popular. However, in recent years, there has been a renewed interest in vinyl records, especially among younger music fans.</p>

<p>The reasons for this revival are varied, but some of the key factors include nostalgia for a physical format, appreciation for the sound quality of vinyl, and the experience of collecting and playing vinyl records. Many fans also appreciate the artwork and packaging of vinyl records, which can be more elaborate and visually appealing than digital formats.</p>

<p>This revival has led to an increase in vinyl sales, with vinyl records often outselling CDs in recent years. Many music fans also seek out rare and limited-edition vinyl releases, leading to a thriving market for collectors and enthusiasts. This has also led to new businesses and manufacturing facilities, such as the one purchased by Metallica, to meet the demand for vinyl records.</p>

<p>The season 4 of 'Stranger Things' revived a few 1980s classics for the new generation. The final episode of the Netflix series dropped on July 1 and a particular portion drew maximum attention not just from fans of the show but also fans of the popular band Metallica.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The band's hit number 'Master of Puppets' was performed by the heroic Eddie Munson in the 'Upside Down'. The moments had Eddie Munson performing the number upside down to divert the bats from his friends. Reacting to the portion, the legendary rock band took to Instagram and praised actor Joseph Quin for performing it so well.</p>

<p>"The way The Duffer Brothers have incorporated music into Stranger Things has always been next level, so we were beyond psyched for them to not only include "Master of Puppets" in the show, but to have such a pivotal scene built around it. We were all stoked to see the final result and when we did, we were totally blown away... it's so extremely well done, so much so, that some folks were able to guess the song just by seeing a few seconds of Joseph Quinn's hands in the trailer!! How crazy cool is that?" the band wrote.</p>

The season 4 of 'Stranger Things' revived a few 1980s classics for the new generation. The final episode of the Netflix series dropped on July 1 and a particular portion drew maximum attention not just from fans of the show but also fans of the popular band Metallica. The band's hit number 'Master of Puppets' was performed by the heroic Eddie Munson in the 'Upside Down'. The moments had Eddie Munson performing the number upside down to divert the bats from his friends. Reacting to the portion, the legendary rock band took to Instagram and praised actor Joseph Quin for performing it so well. "The way The Duffer Brothers have incorporated music into Stranger Things has always been next level, so we were beyond psyched for them to not only include "Master of Puppets" in the show, but to have such a pivotal scene built around it. We were all stoked to see the final result and when we did, we were totally blown away... it's so extremely well done, so much so, that some folks were able to guess the song just by seeing a few seconds of Joseph Quinn's hands in the trailer!! How crazy cool is that?" the band wrote.

'Stranger Things 4' boosts popularity of 'Master Of Puppets' by Metallica, band reacts

<p>This year, Metallica’s Kirk Hammett got word that one of his favorite guitarists was not well, and “if you wanted to say goodbye to Eddie Van Halen, now’s the time.”</p>

<p>“Unfortunately, I was in Europe somewhere, and then the whole COVID thing hit,” the guitarist said in a phone interview, fighting back tears just hours after the news broke Tuesday of Van Halen’s death, at 65. “I never had that opportunity.”</p>

<p>Hammett said that he first heard Van Halen on the radio in 1978 — the band’s adrenalized cover of the Kinks’ “You Really Got Me” — and was instantly fascinated. Counting the ways in which Van Halen influenced him and changed the sound of rock guitar, he marveled at Eddie’s “spirit of invention.”</p>

<p>“To me, he was like Tesla or Louis Pasteur or Ray Kurzweil,” he added. “He might not have been working with circuits or engines or whatnot. He was working with musical notes and guitar strings and bridges and amplifiers.”</p>

<p>Metallica began in the realm of thrash-metal, in the early 1980s. But by then the influence of Van Halen’s guitar was inescapable — permeating not only hard rock but also the pop charts with his solo on Michael Jackson’s “Beat It” — and Hammett describes his innovations as helping establish the “modern guitar lexicon.”</p>

<p>These are edited excerpts from the conversation.</p>

<p>Q: What do you think was Eddie’s greatest contribution to the art of rock guitar?</p>

<p>A: It’s kind of mind-boggling. That first Van Halen album blew open everyone’s minds to the potential of electric guitar. My friend John Marshall, who ended up being my guitar tech in Metallica, we went out and bought that album and we could not figure out what we were hearing. Like, it wasn’t real.</p>

<p>His right-hand technique, the way he hammered on strings, with super-wide intervals that a person could not humanly stretch. It was an incredible sound. And he was using it so effectively.</p>

<p>I had a habit of muting my guitar strings when I first started playing, ’cause I was just super shy about people listening to me. But when I heard “Ain’t Talkin’ ’Bout Love,” I knew instantly what he was doing on the guitar: He was muting the strings. And when we listened closer, we discovered that he had a whole muting technique that was based around chords and muting selective strings. This very subtle thing that was amazing to me. And I started muting chords and muting riffs. It became a thing that I still do to this day to make riffs heavier or more percussive. That was one thing that Eddie Van Halen just handed to me right away.</p>

<p>About six months later, I saw Van Halen at Day on the Green in Oakland. This was the bill: AC/DC, opening the show. Then Van Halen, Pat Travers, Foreigner and Aerosmith. There was so much anticipation because it was the first time that Van Halen had ever played the Bay Area. We could not believe what we were seeing. All this stuff that looked so fast and so ridiculously hard, he made it look so simple and effortless. And he did it with a smile. He seemed to be laughing to himself while he was doing it.</p>

<p>Eddie started this momentum of just getting sounds out his guitar that no one got. I mean no one. The first four or five Van Halen albums, he was inventing techniques that we all use now. My guitar-playing friends, we’d get the new Van Halen album and shake our heads. “What’s Eddie doing now?”</p>

<p>Q: Fast-forward a few years. Metallica tours with Van Halen for “Monsters of Rock” in 1988. What was that like?&nbsp;</p>

<p>A: I have to say that Sammy Hagar and Van Halen were very big proponents for getting us on that bill. My attention would always go to Eddie. Every time I saw Eddie at the show, he had his red guitar and he had a cigarette in his mouth or pinned in his headstock. And he was always playing, whether he was plugged in or not. Always playing. The only time I didn’t see him play was when we would run into him at the hotel.</p>

<p>Occasionally he’d say, “Hey, come up to my room.” And I would go thinking we’re going to jam. But he would sit me down and we would just talk about music.</p>

<p>The things that he came up with became the modern guitar lexicon. And he was just totally committed to his cause. You don’t sound like that by saying, “OK, I’m going to play guitar for an hour a day.” You get to that point embracing the guitar and music as a complete lifestyle.</p>

<p>Q: Do you have a favorite Eddie Van Halen solo?</p>

<p>A: That’s a hard one, man. Just off the top of my head, “I’m the One.” I remember first hearing that when I was like 16 or 17 years old and not having a first idea of what he was doing. It might as well as have been advanced trigonometry to me, you know? “Somebody Get Me a Doctor” — oh my God. The solo on “You’re No Good,” you know, the Linda Ronstadt thing.</p>

<p>“Hot for Teacher.” You know why that’s so important? That’s a big hit, was it not? How many hit songs out there started with double bass drums and a raging guitar solo? That’s what I love about “Hot for Teacher.” It’s starts with the most raging guitar solo — it’s so killer. And everyone can sing every single note.</p>

<br />
The press release issued by the band states that the concert will be shot "at a location near the band`s Northern California headquarters" as well as be "edited and mixed by Metallica`s award-winning production team to the highest standards possible."</p>

<p>Additionally, the concert will show material from their nearly 40-year career.According to the band, every ticket purchase, which admits one carload of up to six people, will include four digital downloads of Metallica`s upcoming album, `S&amp;M2.`<br />
