Metallica share new song & video, "Screaming Suicide"

Metallica have shared the second single from their upcoming new album 72 Seasons. It’s called “Screaming Suicide,” and it finds the band staying faithful to the classic thrash formula that they helped invent. They said in a statement:

“Screaming Suicide” addresses the taboo word of suicide. The intention is to communicate about the darkness we feel inside. It’s ridiculous to think we should deny that we have these thoughts. At one point or another, I believe most people have thought about it. To face it is to speak the unspoken. If it’s a human experience, we should be able to talk about it. You are not alone.

Watch the video for the new song below. The album comes out April 14.

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. Single-day tickets for the tour go on sale Friday (1/20) at 10 AM local time, and two-night packages are on sale now.
