Metallica returns with ’72 Seasons'; band not slowing down
Associated PressNEW YORK — Zoom has been credited for keeping students and teachers connected, the judicial system working and fitness classes jumping. The first step was an acoustic version of their song “Blackened.” “It proved to us that, yes, we can at least do something remotely while we’re all still separated,” says guitarist Kirk Hammett. “That grew into trying to get riffs together for the new album though Zoom.” Six or seven of those song sketches ended up on “72 Seasons,” the band’s 12th full-length album, out Friday. “‘Stranger Things’ definitely took ‘Master of Puppets’ to another level and it feels like fans of ours that maybe grew up with this are now in positions of power,” says Hetfield. “We kind of need to be challenged because we’ve been playing these songs for so long and we need to change them around to still make them interesting and fun for us,” says Hammett.
