Metallica address “the darkness we feel inside” on new single Screaming Suicide

Following November’s comeback single Lux Æterna, Metallica have just shared their next track from upcoming album 72 Seasons.

The metal heroes’ new effort is entitled Screaming Suicide, and the song “addresses the taboo word of suicide,” explains frontman James Hetfield.

“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.”

72 Seasons is due out on April 14, 2023 via Blackened Recordings.
