Produced by Greg Fidelman with Hetfield & Ulrich, and clocking in at over 77 minutes, the 12-track '72 Seasons' is the heavy metal band's first full length collection of new material since 2016's 'Hardwired... To Self-Destruct'.

The album is available in 2LP 140g black vinyl and limited-edition variants, CD digital, and in Dolby Atmos.
