Metallica have announced the release of single day tickets for their M72 world tour spanning 2023-2024, to support their new studio album, 72 Seasons. The run, presented worldwide by Liquid Death and Blackened American Whiskey (in North America only) and promoted by Live Nation, will see the band playing two nights in every city it visits—with each No Repeat Weekend featuring two completely different setlists and support lineups. The M72 tour and album were both announced on Nov. 28, 2022. The stadium tour will feature a new in-the-round stage design that relocates the famed Metallica Snake Pit to center stage, as well as the I Disappear full-tour pass and the debut of discounted tickets for fans under 16 years of age. Two-day tickets were previously offered and are still available. Single day tickets will be available to the general public beginning Jan. 20, 2023, at 10 a.m. local time here. Fan club members get access beginning Jan. 16.
72 Seasons, produced by Greg Fidelman, along with the band’s James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich, arrives April 14, 2023, via their Blackened Recordings. It’s their first studio album in six years. Hetfield explains its title. “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.”

Jump into a conversationI didn’t understand the title of Death Magnetic until the VAX. Graphene oxide. Black goo. Programmable matter. Predictive programming at its finest. Stay UP.
72 is an occult reference to the Keys of Solomon, a divination tool used to conjure demons through frequency (audible spells). I love James Hetfield like a brother but his band was hijacked long ago by the music industry and its Luciferic lust to spread demonology.
I wonder how many of your readers really understand the power of the occult in ALL our industries/agencies/institutions. The whole system is run by the evil one.
That’s why I thank you for your positive and uplifting articles. Imagine if ALL platforms pursued peace within their content. Keep UP the great work.
