baptized 72 SEASONS today. Order info here.

Hatfield (voice/guitarist) “The concept that we were told ‘who we are’ by our parents.
A possible pigeonholing around what kind of personality we are. I think the most interesting part of this is the continued study of those core beliefs and how it affects our perception
of the world today. Much of our adult experience is reenactment or reaction to these
childhood experiences. Prisoners of childhood or breaking free of those bondages we
carry.”

NME: “The hard rock veterans roll back the years to deliver a thrilling sonic onslaught – including their longest ever song… The whole album roars past in an unremitting and intense 77 minutes, pausing only for a few moments of in-studio banter recorded for posterity. There are no ballads here, just speed demon anthems purpose built for mosh pits, bedrooms, car journeys and anywhere else you choose to head-bang.” Score: 4/5.

TUTV: Guess what, I never was a big Metallica fan (too macho, too many times the same old tricks) but (you knew a but was coming) with this thunder-and-lighting loaded album I’m headbanging and playing air guitar like a real M fanatic. I never thought these old master-billionaire-puppets would have still that much ear-crushing energy in their tank.
It’s a cast iron album you can crash concrete walls with. 12 ballbreakers, 72 seasons. Hallelujah!
