“72 SEASONS”
TITLE TRACK & NEW VIDEO OUT NOW
NEW ALBUM OUT APRIL 14, 2023
Metallica has unveiled the title track of its forthcoming 12th studio album, 72 Seasons. A seven-and-a-half-minute opus that opens the new record, “72 Seasons” is the fourth advance offering from its namesake—following the recent release of the “epic” (Rolling Stone) “If Darkness Had A Son,” hailed by Consequence as “a sonic retrospective of (Metallica’s) career,” as well as the “scorching” (Guitar World) “Screaming Suicide” and “thundering, breakneck” (Billboard) first single “Lux Æterna.”
“72 Seasons” 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, as previously detailed in James Hetfield’s own words: “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.”
“72 Seasons,” the song, is available now to stream and download, and as an instant grat track with all pre-orders. 72 Seasons, the album, will be released April 14, 2023 via Metallica’s own Blackened Recordings. Produced by Greg Fidelman with Hetfield & Ulrich, 72 Seasons is the first new Metallica studio album since 2016’s Hardwired…To Self-Destruct. It will be released on 2LP 140g black vinyl and limited-edition variants, CD, digital, and in Dolby Atmos (streaming where available).

PRE-ORDER & PRE-SAVE THE ALBUM
For the first time ever, James is opening up the vault and sharing his personal collection of guitars in his new book, Messengers: The Guitars of James Hetfield. Out on October 17 and available for pre-order now, this 400-page coffee table book is filled with stunning photos and stories of the significance behind the instruments.
From the Electra OGV to the mythical MX guitars, the first in a series of collaborations with ESP, his signature Snakebytes through his ambitious projects with renowned luthier Ken Lawrence, James shares the emotional and technical elements of the chosen tools of his musical journey. The book includes exotic instruments, vintage Gibsons, and custom one-offs. It also reveals many studio secrets, like the key amplifiers and gear that sculpt his tone and create his sound. And each of the more than 40 featured guitars is accompanied by lush, museum-quality portraits by acclaimed photographer Scott Williamson (you may know his work from James’ book Reclaimed Rust).
This meticulously-crafted coffee table book is available for pre-order in three versions:
- The standard hardcover edition
- The signed slipcover edition (numbered, only 1,500 copies available)
- The deluxe box edition (numbered, only 250 copies available)
The deluxe edition is signed, numbered, and housed in a custom box featuring a handcrafted pyrography design by Dino Muradian, who has collaborated with James on multiple guitars, including Elk Skull, the Unforgiven acoustic, and the Snakeskin Snakebyte. Accompanying the book in the deluxe edition will be an assortment of “case candy,” including a photo print and a studio or tour-used Hetfield guitar pick and guitar string.
We’ll be sharing some more sneak peeks of the book throughout the summer, but for now, check out a couple of pages below and pre-order your book today!
Gibson Custom Shop Kirk Hammett “Greeny” 1959 Les Paul Standard
The Legend of “Greeny”
The 1959 Les Paul Standard known as “Greeny” is one of the most storied instruments ever made, with a unique sound as recognizable as the guitar itself. Untold millions have heard its tone on stage or in the studio, played by a trio of famous owners: Fleetwood Mac guitarist Peter Green, Thin Lizzy guitarist Gary Moore, and Metallica guitarist Kirk Hammett.

Ask a guitar fanatic what the number 9 2208 refers to, and they know right away, it’s Greeny. No other guitar has earned legendary status like this magical 1959 Les Paul Standard. The Custom Shop is proud to honor this legacy and bring this magic to more players with the global launch of the Kirk Hammett “Greeny” 1959 Les Paul Standard Made 2 Order featuring Indian rosewood and Murphy Lab aging. A 1959 Les Paul Standard is one of the most coveted and valuable guitars ever, but one particular example, “Greeny,” is famous for both its incredible story and its iconic sound. Originally owned by Peter Green, Greeny was used throughout his time with Fleetwood Mac and started as a bright cherry red sunburst, but after countless shows, it faded to a pale-yellow color. Greeny’s distinctive sound is partially from the out-of-phase middle switch position due to the neck pickup’s reversed magnetic polarity. In the 1970s, Peter sold Greeny to Gary Moore, who used it for three decades with Thin Lizzy and as a solo artist, even recording an album titled “Blues for Greeny.” After years together, Greeny was sold and temporarily retired, left waiting for a chance to return to the stage. Now owned by Kirk Hammett, Greeny has officially passed through the hands of three legendary guitarists. Now you can add your own chapter to the legend of Greeny.
