Metallica have shared a thrashy but thoughtful new single Screaming Suicide.
The second single from their forthcoming full-length 72 Seasons Screaming Suicide picks up where first single Lux Aeterna kicked off, infusing some old-school Metallica vibes into a new-school Metallica headspace. Arriving accompanied by a film clip directed by Tim Saccenti, it is a track that asks you to reflect upon an uncomfortable truth while you headbang, as James Hetfield explains:
"The song '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.”
72 Seasons is due to release on April 14.
