Metallica share “If Darkness Had A Son” off upcoming album ’72 Seasons’
Metallica have shared the third single off their upcoming album 72 Seasons, "If Darkness Had A Son." It clocks in at seven minutes, and it's full of familiar Metallica tricks. Check out the song and its shadowy, Tim Saccenti-directed performance video below.
Metallica are also gearing up for their M72 World Tour, which finds them playing two nights in cities around the world for a "No Repeat Weekend," which means "2 Nights. 2 Different Sets. 2 Different Opening Acts. In the Round." The Pantera reunion lineup and Mammoth WVH (WVH = Wolfgang Van Halen) are opening night one, and Five Finger Death Punch and Ice Nine Kills are opening night two. The NYC-area gets stops on August 4 and August 6 at MetLife Stadium.
