Old school thrash style with years of experience thrown on top. I like it. I'll be checking out this album. Been a Metallica fan for 30 years now. Holy shit🤘🤘
Metallica have been a disgrace for 30 years. I last see them at Earl's Court, London '96, and they were DONE then!
Def an old school sounding song with new polish on it. Great tune. Can’t wait for the album!!!
The new song is awesome. It has some Kill 'Em All riffs with a bit of Hardwired melodies.
I'm so hyped for this album.
Metallica still kick ass 40+ years later.
Yes exactly, it's a good blend of Kill Em All and Hardwired
I love all these haters on here lmao calling this meh lol this song is nothing but good sounds classic pure Motörhead vibes and James vocals no one beats him at his age
My first listen to it, I got metal church vibes.
U heard chuck Billy
Everyone loves to h8 on Metallica lol, it never fails lol. I really dig this track, it's very promising to see all of my favorite old school bands returning to their roots.
St. Anger, Death Magnetic/Beyond Magnetic, and Hardwired get h8ed on a lot but I love all 3 of those albums and I appreciate them for what they are and NOT what they "should've" been.
I think that's the problem with the metal elitist mindset, especially when it comes to these old school legendary bands who just about everyone knows and loves.
@@bighomiestevethemetalhead8131 death magnetic was good hardwired was too long and too much filler..this new song is just hard rock
@@vikingraven4156 What are you talking about? It’s 100% thrash metal! It’s every bit as thrashy as anything on their debut.
this song is so bad ass it almost sounded like motorhead and judas priest combined. the old school heavy metal vibe is strong here.
I loved "Hardwired...." and this song is awesome. Can't wait for the whole album and tour.
I didn't know what to expect...am surprised I like it. James' vocals sound strong..a catchy riff with toned down understated guitars and lars' drumming actually sounds good. Am liking his double bass
Definitely a mix of old school and new. I am liking it
motorhead meets diamond head meets kill em all meets the black album. i LOVE it. i cant wait!!!
Sounds like a mix of their bread fan and overkill covers on garage days
Breadfan meets Diamond Head....Lighting Nation is mentioned in the song.
This song just proves the point that Metallica while getting up there in their age continue to shred like they are back in their master of puppet days. I think this is going to be an awesome record coming out and it just seems like whatever kick in the teeth they got after death magnetic, it just worked. I’m super stoked to see what the whole album brings to the table especially with Metallica in this day and age. You guys do some seriously killer reviews and I appreciate all the fine tuned metal you guys always dive into. Keep on killing it here.🤘🤘🤘
I loved the song. It sounds like oldschool heavy metal mixed with merciful fate and motorhead. Bog 80's feel to it.
I feel like this album might be their last, and this song is a tribute to their legacy. Along with the Kill Em All high intensity power chord frenzy early thrash style metal, there's the breakdown riff after the solo which sounds very similar to Hit the Lights, their first song on their debut album, and ever since the lights have not gone out. Lux Aeterna is latin for Eternal Light. This might just be their Lazarus as it was to David Bowie, but even if Metallica die, the light will still shine bright forever more.
Also might play into the Album name and art. Like what happened 72 seasons ago? Or perhaps it may be about the first 72 seasons. 4 seasons in a year, 72 seasons in 18 years, from their debut in 1983 to 2001, the year Newsted left the band. Might this album be an homage to their early years before Trujillo? 18 years ago was 2004, the band got back together after being worn down and on the verge of disbanding, and ever since have kept on making new music. What does the blinding yellow light shining down on the old broken crib that looks like a monster had broken free from its bars mean? Might it just be about the birth of metal, birth of Metallica, or perhaps a passing of the torch, the light that now shines on the new faces of metal.
Ok tbh I've spent too much time looking into this, you guys do more research if you want I wanna listen to this absolute banger again.
Great job 👏 it seems to be true. And it makes me sad. I do love everything they've done, even their failed albums. I don't want they finish their work 😪
I think this song is a step in the right direction. I liked some songs from Hardwired and from Death Magnetic but I wasn’t able to feel like my entire album experience Was completely positive on either.
Tbh, all I really want is for Kirks solos to be well thought out and structured and not to be in the same pentatonic box.
I think the days of Kirk writing meticulously composed solos are over. He needs Bob Rock to kick his ass for him to do that.
@@andrew6978 you mean the guy that ruined Metallica, and they only started improving again after they stopped working with him? That Bob Rock?...
@@FirebirdCamaro1220 Chill man, Bob busted Kirk's balls on the Black Album, that's what I was referencing.
I like it enough that I’m a little optimistic now for their new album
Love this track
Was waiting for you guys!
This is so freaking good!! Can't wait to get it!!
Kill em all with some Motörhead fusion. Sounds great. Too many armchair critics these days. Appreciate legends doing it their way 🤘🏼
I like this song, great step in the right direction in my opinion, love the production and the bass drums sounds great, but most of all it's nice to see James with the flying V and Lars behind a white Tama-set. Keep up the good work!
Totally hearing hit the lights and
Budgies breadfan vibes
Lars breaking out the old TAMA kit. Song is good.
He’s always had two kick drums but yeah, the white kit is old school
He’s always used a double bass kit. But for years he’s used a green model.
Such a ripper! Welcome back ‘tallica!!
CAN'T WAIT FOR THE ALMIGHTY METALLICA RELEASE THEIR NEW ALBUM!!! THIS SONG RIPS MY HEAD OFF AND SLAPS ME IN THE FACE!!! METALLICA IS BACK!!!🎼🤘🎸👊🥁🔥🍻
I like it that's why they been around for 40 years the most invented a new sound called thrash fucking badass
This song is amazing
Love it...only complaint is it needs one more riff. A section with a different riff before or after the solo would set it off.
It is Diamond Head love....kill'em All sound with singing.
Definite Motorhead vibes on this, which is fine with me.
When I first heard this tune the other night I was kinda torn, as far as my initial impression. Now a couple days have gone by and I have found myself repeatedly going back to listen to it, over and over. The chorus where James screams the song title is everything in this track. That and the kick drums. But just the way James climbs the ladder vocally to belt out the chorus is such an amazing hook.
This almost feels like a sorta power metal almost-but-not-quite Dokken-type vibe meets British new wave meets sped-up Load riffage meets a more polished version of Hit the Lights. It's gonna be a go-to live song (the lyrics kinda reflect that) and the song's energy and the boys' own energy are undeniable. I can't explain it, but all I know is my ear loves it.
I'm very happy Metallica is back with new tunes and I'm also very happy they kept the album under wraps so now it's arriving soon - to MY mind - rather than them announcing it 2 years out and then us playing the waiting game.
These old dogs can still hunt. 🤘🤘
Nicely said.
1:32 is Lars hitting the China in the video? 😂😂
Just sounds like a motorhead drum beat with a modern day diamond head sounding song...i guess they have made a living doing that lol
I just saw this on my feed a little bit ago and I freaking love it!! It's been SIX years since their last album, are they becoming Tool or what lmao? This is very old school Metallica mixed in with more modern Metallica elements, James's voice sounds better than ever! I'm soo hyped, I can't wait for the new album!!! 🤘🤘🤙🤙
They really don’t have a lot of time to record because they’re touring constantly.
@@cmurphy0707 that makes sense, it's just a shame they take soo long to put out records. I'm sure they're capable of putting out a new album every 3 or 4 years, I gotta see them live before they retire tho!
TOOL??...that long awaited album was a bit boring....
@@nickreid5939 I was referring to the very long wait in between albums like Tool has done, but I actually really liked Fear Innoculum. It's not for everyone, but it's great for those of us who connect with it.
Motörhead baby I love it ❤
Yeah, solid track. Seems to be the 'fast, quick banger' like Hardwired was and that's great. Not my favourite either but I like the last 2 albums a lot (I even like Load) and the fact that they're still pumping out good sounding music - new formula or not - is awesome, especially with them sounding so tight and what not live. I read a comment somewhere that they must be in the studio because everything they've been playing live lately was super tight and that was absolutely correct it seems. Keen for the album!! Hopefully there's a song on there with the same significance as Spit out the Bone!! The solo was killer though! Cheers dudes
100% agree on Spit out the Bone. Killer track, and the video is pretty solid too.
72 seasons I think could be how many seasons since they started. What with Lars playing his old Tama kit in the video from the early nineties…I think this could be the last record. I sense a lot of influential nostalgia. Even parts of the song had old riffs on it, including the start of Kirks solo, I’m pretty that is on another song.
I love this channel!! Where can I buy some merchandise from the channel?.kool😈🤘🤟😎
This reminds me of motorhead and metal church.
LARS DOUBLE BASS DRUMMING...HOLY SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!
That’s what surprised me the most. He often tweaks songs in live concerts when he cant double bass. But that was impressive!
Legendary band
Been liking this song from the moment I heard it for the first time. I like the old school style. Today I just realized what it reminds me of. This is almost a copy of Pantera's Power Metal, but it doesn't bother me. 2 good songs is better than 1. :D
This song alone gives alot of Kill Em All vibes...especially from the song Hit the Lights
This sounded more like a Van Halen B-Side to me but, you do you
🤘🤘🤘
Winamp style clip)))) Yeah !!!)
Regarding the length they did the same thing with the song Hardwired and it was the opening track off of Hardwired to self Destruct. They said they wanted a quick banger to open the record so don't be surprised if this is the opening track.
its not
Funny thing about Hardwired too is that it was written specifically because they didn't have an opening song. They needed one and thus Hardwired was born. I am a huge Metallica fan, so I am in for the anthem songs but I also like these quick snippets of songs with a good riff.
I Like that song. Some hit the lights inside right ? Hope the all album will be on this way.
Ain't nothing wrong with this single. Thrashy drums and riffs like the old days, vocals and finish like the new stuff. Nice combo. Not their best work but certainly not their worst. This will be a fun song live for sure
Kill em all+motorhead, like pre chorus & chorus really hook
I got the feeling they were reaching back to Kill 'em All on this track. Hit The Lights and a bit of Motorbreath, in particular.
Megadeth the Sick the Dead and the Dying slaughters the fuck out of any new Metallica
METALLICA ES LA LUZ!
Lux aeterna is eternal lights translated from Latin
Could definitely be a track off kill em all
The second time I listened to it the first thing I thought of was how much it sounded like Hit The Lights. At least as far as the riff goes. But a little bit of newer sound, I think the main riff is pretty badass.
Are you insane? How on any realm of existence does this compare to any thing on kill em all?
@@dpwaslayer1 Umm it clearly sounds like something from Kill Em All. If you are a true Metallica fan you would be able to hear it.
The old Metallica is better but this song is not that bad. But that guitar solo what gave the chills!!!!
That is some sloppy shit solo
Song is ok
Yeah, It's what you call a deconstructed solo. He is not playing a melodic based one. He's simply going for it and laying it down. What comes out is what comes out. In other words...let it rip.
72 seasons is about the first 18 years of life with 4 seasons every year.
I like this it's not incredible but still good ..as there 17 songs on the album I'm expecting a lot of great stuff too come
12 songs
Great song. If anyone began a band and put out this song. They would be white hot.
This Metallica song Rocks hard. 🪨
I heard this on Howard Stern on Monday (Lars himself did an interview to drop it live), and as a big thrash metal fan (as well as liker of the first 4 Metallica albums); I honestly kind of cringed at Howard and Robin's take on the song. Especially with them saying "it's so fast, try playing a whole concert at that speed" shudder
They should see Slayer play the full Reign In Blood album on "Still Reigning" and re-evaluate that statement
In honesty, it is an ok song, way better than anything on the Load's or on St Anger, but definitely not fast, it's really just above mid tempo
I'm honestly just tired of having to say "well I don't love it, but it's good". When before there was no question the reaction would be "that was so godamn badass". That's the difference. It isn't hate. Everyone keeps calling us haters,...it's not that. It's just growing tiresome of having to sort of just get a consolation prize that isn't the main prize, but hey,...it's good at least,...thanks for showing up. It's also not being elitist, it really is just an honest emotion,...it doesn't do anything to me anymore. And I'm saddened by it. Because it's been over 2 decades of trying to be moved by their material, and it has yet to happen again. The last time I was genuinely excited and moved by their material was garage inc. It was really amazing to hear what they did with those covers, especially the merciful fate medley. Oh well I suppose.
Usually in cases like this it's more an issue with the listener and not the band. Our music tastes change and evolve over the years and we tend to hold on to nostalgic memories of bands we grew up with. Objectively this sounds just as good as any previous Metallica but subjectively since your taste has evolved and your frame of mind musically is in a different place, they will never be able to make you feel like you did 20+ years ago.
When it comes to bands like Metallica there is nothing they can do that will please everyone. They're clearly going for an old school vibe here which people all say they want yet still complain when they get it.
@@TwoToeTags yeah that's true to an extent. Totally agree. I hear the old school in it. Ok, there is one cool thing, I like that James is embracing a little of the high notes like he is. I like that. But it's not that we are getting old school, and still complaining about it. It's that even with such an attempt, it doesn't have that same oomph. I don't think objectively this rivals much of their classic work at all. Also it isn't objectively bad either. And I have absolutely no professional leg to stand on to assert my superiority in any way, because I am just a normal rhythm guitarist that struggles to play stuff other people can literally play while not even looking at their fretboard. It's not dogging on them in any way, it's just relaying the feeling I do or don't get when hearing it.
It's sort of like the "eye-test" when it comes to the leflop vs. Jordan debate. Because of the longevity of his career, leflop is going to hold some records over others,...but for most people, he doesn't pass the "eye-test". You just don't get that same feeling when you watch.
There have been several bands that have passed that test for me over the years with their new material. So it doesn't simply boil down to evolution of tastes or nostalgia. A perfect example was testament's album the gathering. I thought their 80s stuff was the pinnacle. A new order is a fricking masterpiece, and I absolutely loved that sound. Now if I was just being truly close-minded and staying in the previous mindset, I would not have been absolutely blown the fuck away by the gathering. It didn't sound exactly like their 80s stuff both in composition or recording quality. But, Alex's solos were still fricking blistering and melodic, chucks vocals were sooo brutal and great. The drumming was top notch, and Eric's guitars were phenomenal. Subjectively, it wasn't the testament we knew from the 80s. Objectively, it was expertly crafted and executed. I Remember reading an Interview with them at the time (1999 I believe), and they were quoted as saying "this is the album people wish metallica would come out with". And that was absolutely correct. If that had the old school metallica logo on it, and everything was the same (only with James' vocals), it would have been held up as a rival to any metallica masterpiece album.
It's not that they can't please everyone, duh. No band can. It's that for many of us, the material just does not evoke that HOLY SHIT, ARE YOU HEARING THIS!? feeling.
Who Was The Guest Drummer?
72 is 18 × 4. 18 years of each member being held down and told what to do by parents, school, society etc.
Dyers eve, dear mother, dear father :)... Hope there are some interesting topics on this album...
Hard rock song
\m/
Hardwired was exactly what y'all mentioned.. after the release they basically said the mission of the song was to be something to give a hard fast charging song to set the tone. This is that same intention for new album.
This is a good song, very much a Motorhead type vibe and Kill em All era sounding. I think Hardwired was an okay album, i hope this one is better! Actually would be cool if the whole album has an old school Metallica vibe to it like Kill em All
It’s a good song. The weakest part is the solo for me, but enjoyed it
Yall should check out the new Okkultist that just dropped when you have a chance 🤟
72 Seasons means the first 18 years of your life according to James!
Sounds like a blend of Hit the Lights and Helpless. But who cares. It's catchy. I keep listening to it.
Reminds me of some old school skate punk/thrash from the 80's. The "lux aeterna" hook seems a bit over produced vocaly. Would sound better with James just growling it out raw. Overall it brings me back to their old B sides they used to put out like Bread Fan. I like it it's just missing a bit more edginess to it.
I will bet money, and I've said since day one of this video, that Metallica WILL FINALLY be the halftime show for the Superbowl.
72 Seasons means 72 months, or 6 years since they have put out new content.
After the ludge by sodom
Imagine if Metallica had released this as a kickoff single in the mid-90's instead of Load. People would have been amped. It's a huge win if they return to having more shorter and thrashier songs like this one.
This song don’t have shit on any thing on load😂 wasting my hate is 50 times better
I think lengthwise it was perfect. Nothing unnecessary, short, to your face, punchy. I'm pretty sure thats what they went for and this is something close to final version, if not the final version.
Hardwired 2.0 not great not bad
My take is Megadeth's latest threw down the gauntlet and caused Metallica to show us they still got it. But Metallica has tended to leak the thrashiest song before an album and then we get a bunch of mid-tempo songs when we actually get the release.
Dear mom dear pap...what is this that Ive have just released...???!!
I don’t know about this song tbh. Because night stalkers by megadeth came out a couple months ago. And that song is heavy and fast as ****. Which is probably why I’m disappointed

bubble gum
Lux AEterna? Hey boys YOU ARE NOT AND CAN NEVER BE TOOL
Stay in your lame lane
I do like the song, but I still find myself longing for the edgy Metallica that always kept pushing the genre to the next level. I need to check my expectations though, because I feel like they stopped being that band over 25 years ago. I feel like they've kind of settled into this place where their music rides somewhere in the middle of the genre; not being any better or worse than any other really good band. It is awesome to see them still cranking out hard and fast riffs, and for James to still sound so strong at their age.
Its just a faster version of Anthrax's Got the time
Everyone loves to h8 on Metallica lol (yes, I'm calling out the h8ers in the comments), it never fails lol. I really dig this track, it's very promising to see all of my favorite old school bands returning to their roots.
St. Anger, Death Magnetic/Beyond Magnetic, and Hardwired get h8ed on a lot but I love all 3 of those albums and I appreciate them for what they are and NOT what they "should've" been.
I think that's the problem with the metal elitist mindset, especially when it comes to these old school legendary bands who just about everyone knows and loves.
I agree it was good but I didn't love it. I like the song overall , the Solo was solid but I just wish they would use a more Thrashier Sounding Guitar Tone...to me I feel this could fit on Hardwired...and I guess that's the sound they are sticking to...but again good overall 🤘🤘
That's funny that you say Kirk's solos are sleepers. That's exactly how I feel about them. I almost always think they are a bit meh and repetitive the first time but I like them a lot after a few listens. Halo on fire for example.
It's great to hear someone showing some love for "Halo On Fire", it's my 2nd favorite song from Hardwired and everything about it feels meaningful. I think it's James's best vocal performance on the album imo, it seems to be about his alcoholism, and Kirk's solos are very soulful. Amazing song overall!
"Ironic" lol
I saw a reaction to this yesterday, and someone in the comments called Metallica “an obscure band.” Seriously??? They’ve been around for 40 years, sold millions of records, have had their songs in dozens of movies and TV shows, and they’ve toured and been known throughout the world for decades. How can you say they’re obscure? Uncultured youts.
Did you say youts?😁
People saying this is “generic” gotta remember that Metallica invented thrash metal or at least made it mainstream. They basically inVented the “generic” that people refer to
Absolutely agree, people love to h8 on Metallica tho and it gets annoying. It's always funny to see people claim Metallica and Megadeth aren't Thrash, if that's the case, then why do soo many Modern Thrash bands try to emulate both bands? I'm a huge Thrash Metal Head, you can hear The Big 4's influence on Thrash and other genres to this day.
Back in the old days every Metallica song crushed my balls and made my ears bleed.Now,they sound like one of many other bands.Honestly,just another heavy metal/hard rock song.What saves that song from being completely lame is that "'Kill''em all" vibe in the main riff.
Listen to this ..then listen to Overkill "Bring me the night." Overkill should be in the big 4!
Metallica go to right direction, hope the next song turn extreme metal
I've been done being hyped for a new Metallica album since the Black album. It's like they stopped trying all they do now is try to feed the mainstream rock and pop frenzy. James runs the same 4 chords he's known for & Kirk has been playing the same solo over & over again since Kill Em All. All they do is give you the bare minimum and what's worse is people keep feeding their egos by telling them how great all their stuff sounds & those of us waiting for Master of Puppets 2 suffer needlessly. And anyone calling this Thrash needs to have their head examined.
Just admit that you don't like Metallica and move on.
One band I could never get into.
Riff was meh, surprisingly the drumming was the best part😐
average🤔
They write this in 5 min
Or for me it sounds like it.
Too oerfekt drums...whres the GarageBand from this.
Like Green day learned fewriffs 7/10
