Metallica’s new album 72 Seasons is hitting the shelves this Friday and they came up with a creative way to celebrate its release. The metal legend teased a residency on Jimmy Kimmel Live! and they’ll be performing on this show from Monday to Thursday to build up the hype for their new record.
The band announced they’ll be hosting “Metallica Week” on Jimmy Kimmel Live! from April 10 through April 13, serving as the show’s musical guest for four nights.
“We’ll be playing live for all four shows, and you’ll also catch us on the couch, chatting with Jimmy one night. Keep your eyes peeled for other sightings during the broadcast, as we really don’t know what else Jimmy will get us involved in!” they said in a statement.
Just a day after concluding their residency on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Metallica will drop their new album 72 Seasons on April 14. It’s their first record since 2016, and it will reflect on “the first 18 years of our lives that form our true or false selves.”
Metallica teased the album’s release with singles “Lux Æterna”, “Screaming Suicide”, “If Darkness Had a Son”, and “72 Seasons”. They’re also expected to support it with a massive tour that runs through 2023 and 2024.
