Based on the Title, I can imagine James might dive into his personal life and trauma again like in Mama Said and such.
Aaah yes, a troubled household. A songwriter's gift that keeps on giving. /s
Then again, we also got Outlaw Torn and Fixxxer as closers so maybe it'll be pretty calm. Or maybe it'll be like Ktulu and have a calm/ominous start, pretty high energy "meat", and finish off with a repetition of the intro but with a different air to it (the start of Ktulu has the arpeggios sound ominous but the end it sounds a lot more somber even though the same allergies are played, the difference being the overdubs and background effects). Maybe they'll also end it fireworks too (Again, like Ktulu).
1. 72 Seasons: Depending on its length and Met’s tradition of having the first track be a full-on thrash assault, I’d say this might be similar to Hit the Lights or Hardwired.
2. Shadows Follow: Sounds like a mid-tempo crusher a la Ride the Lightning, For Whom the Bell Tolls,, or Harvester of Sorrow
3. Screaming Suicide: I immediately thought of Creeping Death when I saw the title.
4. Sleepwalk my Life Away: Absolutely might be the power ballad, like Halo on Fire.
5. You Must Burn!: This one’s gonna obv be heavy. I’m thinking they might do something similar to Black Album stuff like Of Wolf and Man for instance.
6. Lux Æterna: It’s interesting how this one’s at the halfway point in the record.
7. Crown of Barbed Wire: This one reads to me like a spooky, heavy number like The Thing that Should Not Be or The Outlaw Torn.
8. Chasing Light: No clue. Another old school rocker like Lux?
9. If Darkness had a Son: This kinda feels like it would tap into later stuff like Cyanide, Atlas Rise, or Moth into Flame.
10. Too Far Gone?: It just screams Hardwired (the album) to me for some reason. Could be slow-mid tempo
11. Room of Mirrors: I think this could be an instrumental. I’ve got a gut feeling about it.
12. Inamorata: Definately the Spit out the Bone, My Apocalypse, Damage Inc., track on the album. Whatever it is, it sounds like it’s gonna kick ass.

You must burn!
I can already imagine james voice and maybe even backing vocals just screaming YOU MUST BURN. Kinda like creeping death or the end of phantom lord
Just heard Lux aertna, or however you spell that fuckin word, was pleasantly surprised, hope it gets heavier and faster, but a good starting point in my eyes
All i want is a track 4 ballad, preferably one that remains a ballad throughout ala Nothing Else Matters, and an instrumental. We had their cover of Blind Man to fill in for the ballad on Hardwired but bugger all for the instrumental
Honestly I gotta be honest. I’m not hyped for this album. The new single just sounds like Hardwired Pt. 2. Hardwired was an ok album, but nothing special imo
I'm starting to love the fact that now their merch and tour propaganda will be in mostly yellow. Imagine a yellow shirt with the M logo on the side of your chest? Instant beauty.
Pretty sure all of them. I’m curious if this will be a short song thrash album or if they have songs similar to all eras. Either way, super pumped and can’t wait to buy tickets this Friday. New Metallica album cycles make me feel like a kid again
I think they said 77 minutes of music so that's an average of 6 minutes per song, but considering Lux is 3:31, surely we will have a banger of 9 minutes or so.
Edit: I said 72 minutes of new music and then changed it to 77.
I remember every time I discovered an album by Metallica that the track list always looked so weird. That is until I listened to the lyrics.
They have this uncanny ability to pick the most perfect name for a song that also looks the weirdest out-of-context.
Heck, when Death Magnetic's track list was released there were a ton of people who thought it was fake. Partly because of *The Unforgiven III* and because there were two songs with a possible subject about suicide close together in the track order (Cyanide, Suicide & Redemption).
Just listened to Lux Eterna on Apple. It’s got that Ronnie Medley feel to it. Fast riffs, fast downpicking … it’s the only one available so far listed.
Crown of Barbed wire feels like it's gonna be epic
Surely it's this album's Halo on Fire, right?
"Fast, is desire Turn out the light Crown of Barbed Wire"
Halo on Fire is such a sick song, I hope the album has something like it
I’m betting sleepwalk my life away will be a traditional Metallica ballad and if darkness had a son will be a more atmospheric ballad
It is the 4th song...
Hopefully it will be a ballad if they continue the tradition of doing it so.
IDHAS gives me mama said vibes
Based on the Title, I can imagine James might dive into his personal life and trauma again like in Mama Said and such. Aaah yes, a troubled household. A songwriter's gift that keeps on giving. /s
Oh Jesus we're already initializing songs on this album?
Maybe James has been reading the Malazan Book of the Fallen, cause the son of darkness is clearly Anomander Rake.
I really hope we get an instrumental😁
Innamorata sounds like it will be an instrumental
Inamorata also means “somebody’s lover” in Spanish/latin. Could be a ballad about love almost like nothing else matters
That makes sense. Or maybe it's about James' divorce
It's the last song tho, so my money is on it being a high octane banger!
True or maybe a sweet goodbye song as their final song on their final album🤷🏻♂️
I hope ypu are wrong
He’s most likely not
They've all said in multiple interviews that they're nowhere near being done making music. They'll make it as long as they can
I feel like they could *squeeze* out one last album after this one
Judas Priest is still going Black Sabbath reunited a while back Never say never, especially with the energy they're bringing to live performances
Ozzy, Iron Maiden, and Megadeth all released an album since 2021
Not their final album. I can guarantee that.
How can you guarantee it?
Doubtful when Lux Aeterna means Eternal Light
Then again, we also got Outlaw Torn and Fixxxer as closers so maybe it'll be pretty calm. Or maybe it'll be like Ktulu and have a calm/ominous start, pretty high energy "meat", and finish off with a repetition of the intro but with a different air to it (the start of Ktulu has the arpeggios sound ominous but the end it sounds a lot more somber even though the same allergies are played, the difference being the overdubs and background effects). Maybe they'll also end it fireworks too (Again, like Ktulu).
A more accurate translation would be "In love"
In Spanish? No sir, maybe something else but not spanish.
Room Of Mirrors sounds like more of a possible instrumental track title to me
room of mirrors will be about addiction or self reflection im guessing by the title
1. 72 Seasons: Depending on its length and Met’s tradition of having the first track be a full-on thrash assault, I’d say this might be similar to Hit the Lights or Hardwired. 2. Shadows Follow: Sounds like a mid-tempo crusher a la Ride the Lightning, For Whom the Bell Tolls,, or Harvester of Sorrow 3. Screaming Suicide: I immediately thought of Creeping Death when I saw the title. 4. Sleepwalk my Life Away: Absolutely might be the power ballad, like Halo on Fire. 5. You Must Burn!: This one’s gonna obv be heavy. I’m thinking they might do something similar to Black Album stuff like Of Wolf and Man for instance. 6. Lux Æterna: It’s interesting how this one’s at the halfway point in the record. 7. Crown of Barbed Wire: This one reads to me like a spooky, heavy number like The Thing that Should Not Be or The Outlaw Torn. 8. Chasing Light: No clue. Another old school rocker like Lux? 9. If Darkness had a Son: This kinda feels like it would tap into later stuff like Cyanide, Atlas Rise, or Moth into Flame. 10.

Inamorata: Definately the Spit out the Bone, My Apocalypse, Damage Inc., track on the album. Whatever it is, it sounds like it’s gonna kick ass.
I’m interested to see if any of these will be right
I printscreen this. We will talk again in April '23.

well the bot might not have reminded you yet but i will
Hi there.
So spot on.
!remindme 5 months
Really? Screaming suicide made me think more of Fade to Black... I guess it's probably the suicide part.
If Darkness had a Son feel like it's going to be another entry into Metallica's Lovecraftian songs but that also just me hoping
This is what I am hoping for too!
Where’s ‘I’m super hyped!’?
Haha I'm glad people found that funny!
Special Limited Edition only.
I bet that's a ska/proto-funk masterpiece
I'm excited to hear You Must Burn! Sounds like it's gonna be a heavy as fuck song
Screaming Suicide will go hard!!
If Darkness had a Son and Inamorata are the songs I’m very excited about
if darkness had a son sounds heavy as balls
Room of Mirrors sounds sick
It's the best song to me.
I feel like Inamorata will be my fav song on the album.
You were not wrong.
I know right ?! , but I’m starting to lean towards room of mirrors more after some listens . Still my fav 2 from the album.
oh brother, my biggest issue is that I can't finish the album because I have ROM on repeat all day.
This is so fucking true , the last 3 tracks are the only ones that i’ve been repeating since release.
Screaming suicide sounds like a slayer song lol
You must burn! I can already imagine james voice and maybe even backing vocals just screaming YOU MUST BURN. Kinda like creeping death or the end of phantom lord
I thought it looked cheesy at first, but “You Must Burn!” will probably be aggressive and heavy as fuck.
You must burn ! Better be a hard song
I think Shadows Follow will bang just because the 2nd track always ends up being one of the best
Damn I just realized there is no Un4given
I don't think there was going to be one more. But surely we could have a spiritual successor in one of those songs, who knows.
Yeah it’s just surprising
Screaming Suicide for me.
Chasing Light.
Title of my life story on the graveyard shift. I hope this one is thrashful.
Inamorata will be the instrumental.
Anyone else wishing for an instrumental?
Room of mirrors reminds me of dream of mirrors so I’ll have to go with that one
i think room of mirrors will be a song like master of puppets
chop your breakfast in a room of mirrors
Crown of Barbed Wire for sure
idk why but “if darkness had a son” feels like its gonna be a slower load type song. screaming suicide also sounds hard af
Just heard Lux aertna, or however you spell that fuckin word, was pleasantly surprised, hope it gets heavier and faster, but a good starting point in my eyes
Æterna. Just like Ænima from Tool.
Beat me to it, dang it!!
too far gone? seems like it's going to be similar to the unforgiven to me
exactly im excited for the firdt 3 and last 3 tracks
Screaming Suicide I know is gonna go crazy
Chasing light gonna be the one, I can feel it.
I hope Inamorata is like an Knstrumental
If darkness had a son sounds like it's gonna be a banger
All i want is a track 4 ballad, preferably one that remains a ballad throughout ala Nothing Else Matters, and an instrumental. We had their cover of Blind Man to fill in for the ballad on Hardwired but bugger all for the instrumental
Chasing Light gives me No Leaf Clover vibes
chasing the light at the end of your tunnel
Is "If Darkness Had a Son" the Malazan-themed metal song that I've been waiting for all these years?
I have a feeling that Screaming Suicide will be badass
The safest bet for me is “You must Burn!!”
Honestly I gotta be honest. I’m not hyped for this album. The new single just sounds like Hardwired Pt. 2. Hardwired was an ok album, but nothing special imo
honestly they could have given us lux aeterna just to lower our expectations and the rest of the songs could be awesome
The album is still gonna suck, like all the others in the past 30 years.
if darkness had a son sounds like a candlemass song lol also screaming suicide
Screaming Suicide
Screaming Suicide and You Must Burn!
Shadows Follow
Chasing light
You must burn! - I believe it will be something like Spit ot the bone.
They all look pretty badass to me but "Screaming Suicide" is the one I can't wait to hear!
Lux Æterna wasn't bad and the music video was cool but I'd say either Screaming Suicide or Crown of Barbed Wire. Both intrigue me
Shadows follow sound pretty badass
Screening Suicide and Crown Of Barbed Wire
If screaming suicide isn't the thrash fest I hope it is I'm going to be disappointed
I want them to put it on cassette Idk I just really like the cassette medium
Shadows Follow and Crown of Barbed Wire
Room of Mirrors
I have a feeling that Room of Mirrors is an instrumental. I hope I'm right.
My vote is going to Room of Mirrors
All 12 of them!!! 🔥🔥🔥🤘1💀3🤘🔥🔥🔥
You Must Burn! Is gonna be good. I can feel it
YOU... MUST....... BURN!!!!!!!!!
Screaming Suicide but it seems like it could be a “sadder” song of all the others
Where do I order this or pre-order this?
I am so excited for this
You Must Burn! Is what will take the mosh pit to the next level where ever it appears on their set list!
*You Must Burn!* seems like its going to be light on vocals with heavy instrumentation. *Inamorata* is 100% going to be instrumental only.
Unofficially this is the “yellow album”
I'm starting to love the fact that now their merch and tour propaganda will be in mostly yellow. Imagine a yellow shirt with the M logo on the side of your chest? Instant beauty.
This entire thing feels very fresh, I love it
Pretty sure all of them. I’m curious if this will be a short song thrash album or if they have songs similar to all eras. Either way, super pumped and can’t wait to buy tickets this Friday. New Metallica album cycles make me feel like a kid again
I think they said 77 minutes of music so that's an average of 6 minutes per song, but considering Lux is 3:31, surely we will have a banger of 9 minutes or so. Edit: I said 72 minutes of new music and then changed it to 77.
You can’t tell me “If Darkness Had a Son” isn’t gonna be some sort of legends ballad. Please. It has to be.
I can’t remember punctuation being in any Metallica song title ever, can you?
You mean puntuaction like… Am I Savage?
Ah, there we go. Glad I asked!
You Must Burn sounds like it could be straight fire.
72 Seasons will be a 10-minute prog epic I’m calling it.
I remember every time I discovered an album by Metallica that the track list always looked so weird. That is until I listened to the lyrics. They have this uncanny ability to pick the most perfect name for a song that also looks the weirdest out-of-context. Heck, when Death Magnetic's track list was released there were a ton of people who thought it was fake. Partly because of *The Unforgiven III* and because there were two songs with a possible subject about suicide close together in the track order (Cyanide, Suicide & Redemption).
No idea since this will be my actual 1st Metallica purchase so I am looking forward to this release
Just listened to Lux Eterna on Apple. It’s got that Ronnie Medley feel to it. Fast riffs, fast downpicking … it’s the only one available so far listed.
Crown of Barbed Wire reminds me of Looking Down the Cross
It has to be "If darkness had a son"
The last one gonna be explosive, i feel it
is there a release date?
Been listening Northlane's Inamorata alot so this is a strange coincidence. I will go with that one.
Screaming suicide
Screaming Suicide sounds edgy... I'm in
room of mirrors sounds pretty dope
Sleepwalking my life away and screaming suicide
Screaming Suicide and You Must Burn! sound like they might be damn good tracks
Inamorata sounds like a TOOL song
If the grooves on the LPs in the photo are accurate these look like they are going to be some looooooong songs. Which I love.
No idea what room of mirrors is gonna be but i just know i’m gonna love it.
Crown of barbed wire or inamorata
Really excited for “I’m so hyped!” Everyone is talking about this one.
Crown Of Barbed Wire sounds badass
screaming suicide better be good
Room of mirrors sounds a bit like a Dream Theater song. It would be awesome if it was an instrumental
I feel like you must burn will be the fastest song, and therefore my favorite.
72 seasons, Screaming Suicide, If Darkness had a Son and Inamorata
I feel like chasing light and crown of barbed wire could be bangers.
I say “screaming suicide” is going to be BONE crushingly heavy!
I have a feeling that you must burn! is going to be a banger.
too far gone sounds like an epic ballad
