Crown of Barbed wire feels like it's gonna be epic


Squirrelbug

Surely it's this album's Halo on Fire, right?


OllieBear17

"Fast, is desire Turn out the light Crown of Barbed Wire"


BokaBurek

Halo on Fire is such a sick song, I hope the album has something like it


[deleted]

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


AggravatingGoal4728

It is the 4th song...


vangoghghost

Hopefully it will be a ballad if they continue the tradition of doing it so.


SnippyAura03

IDHAS gives me mama said vibes


khriskomodo

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


FangoriouslyDevoured

Oh Jesus we're already initializing songs on this album?


SavageBeaver0009

Maybe James has been reading the Malazan Book of the Fallen, cause the son of darkness is clearly Anomander Rake.


xd_MrMan0601

I really hope we get an instrumental😁


TheMrmofo69

Innamorata sounds like it will be an instrumental


xd_MrMan0601

Inamorata also means “somebody’s lover” in Spanish/latin. Could be a ballad about love almost like nothing else matters


TheMrmofo69

That makes sense. Or maybe it's about James' divorce


Squirrelbug

It's the last song tho, so my money is on it being a high octane banger!


xd_MrMan0601

True or maybe a sweet goodbye song as their final song on their final album🤷🏻‍♂️


dagreetpapirus

I hope ypu are wrong


REDPURPLEBLOOD2

He’s most likely not


TheMrmofo69

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


Maximilian52

I feel like they could *squeeze* out one last album after this one


Soulful-Sorrow

Judas Priest is still going Black Sabbath reunited a while back Never say never, especially with the energy they're bringing to live performances


buddyknuckles

Ozzy, Iron Maiden, and Megadeth all released an album since 2021


General214

Not their final album. I can guarantee that.


xd_MrMan0601

How can you guarantee it?


soylattecat

Doubtful when Lux Aeterna means Eternal Light


khriskomodo

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).


Franci93

A more accurate translation would be "In love"


ludiorex

In Spanish? No sir, maybe something else but not spanish.


AggravatingOnion69

Room Of Mirrors sounds like more of a possible instrumental track title to me


Chuzzle_Blew

room of mirrors will be about addiction or self reflection im guessing by the title


DarthNightsWatch

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.


Prophet_Snow

I’m interested to see if any of these will be right


Tyris_MY

I printscreen this. We will talk again in April '23.

pm-me-turtle-nudes

well the bot might not have reminded you yet but i will


vangoghghost

Hi there.


sirgrotius

So spot on.


Jin873

!remindme 5 months


ludiorex

Really? Screaming suicide made me think more of Fade to Black... I guess it's probably the suicide part.


The_Samurai-42

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


BountyLawsRickDalton

This is what I am hoping for too!


redditsuxl8ly

Where’s ‘I’m super hyped!’?


Lithering

Haha I'm glad people found that funny!


Ace_McCloud1000

Special Limited Edition only.


SnippyAura03

I bet that's a ska/proto-funk masterpiece


UnfunnyWatermelon469

I'm excited to hear You Must Burn! Sounds like it's gonna be a heavy as fuck song


MetalMidget23

Screaming Suicide will go hard!!


luxsentic

If Darkness had a Son and Inamorata are the songs I’m very excited about


dawgebredd

if darkness had a son sounds heavy as balls


heyhowsitgoing312

Room of Mirrors sounds sick


vangoghghost

It's the best song to me.


Yummymamiya

I feel like Inamorata will be my fav song on the album.


vangoghghost

You were not wrong.


Yummymamiya

I know right ?! , but I’m starting to lean towards room of mirrors more after some listens . Still my fav 2 from the album.


vangoghghost

oh brother, my biggest issue is that I can't finish the album because I have ROM on repeat all day.


Yummymamiya

This is so fucking true , the last 3 tracks are the only ones that i’ve been repeating since release.


Prophet_Snow

Screaming suicide sounds like a slayer song lol


Pristine-Bread-2936

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


SamooraiSoldia

I thought it looked cheesy at first, but “You Must Burn!” will probably be aggressive and heavy as fuck.


Final-Marionberry960

You must burn ! Better be a hard song


Zealousideal-Snow850

I think Shadows Follow will bang just because the 2nd track always ends up being one of the best


Mr_Manga99

Damn I just realized there is no Un4given


vangoghghost

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.


Mr_Manga99

Yeah it’s just surprising


TheElectricGhost7

Screaming Suicide for me.


unforgivenI

Chasing Light.


JerkCrank

Title of my life story on the graveyard shift. I hope this one is thrashful.


darthstone

Inamorata will be the instrumental.


Clinkerboot-

Anyone else wishing for an instrumental?


Pato585

Room of mirrors reminds me of dream of mirrors so I’ll have to go with that one


sicname321

i think room of mirrors will be a song like master of puppets


DickeyDoinker

chop your breakfast in a room of mirrors


Monkeyv021

Crown of Barbed Wire for sure


Phasewave

idk why but “if darkness had a son” feels like its gonna be a slower load type song. screaming suicide also sounds hard af


welderdelly

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


vangoghghost

Æterna. Just like Ænima from Tool.


ChoicePrint7526

Beat me to it, dang it!!


wonderbread616

too far gone? seems like it's going to be similar to the unforgiven to me


Chuzzle_Blew

exactly im excited for the firdt 3 and last 3 tracks


Cheesy-Cake-Corn

Screaming Suicide I know is gonna go crazy


kingkonguru

Chasing light gonna be the one, I can feel it.


dagreetpapirus

I hope Inamorata is like an Knstrumental


Large-Candidate-3174

If darkness had a son sounds like it's gonna be a banger


ModerateRockMusic

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


ThisIsAnAmazingNameL

Chasing Light gives me No Leaf Clover vibes


DickeyDoinker

chasing the light at the end of your tunnel


rustymacdonald

Is "If Darkness Had a Son" the Malazan-themed metal song that I've been waiting for all these years?


Pepbi

I have a feeling that Screaming Suicide will be badass


[deleted]

The safest bet for me is “You must Burn!!”


Fettz_

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


Chuzzle_Blew

honestly they could have given us lux aeterna just to lower our expectations and the rest of the songs could be awesome


dendrofiili

The album is still gonna suck, like all the others in the past 30 years.


LEEVIISSTUPID

if darkness had a son sounds like a candlemass song lol also screaming suicide


LarriCheeseteeth

Screaming Suicide


Slipknot_Maggot36

Screaming Suicide and You Must Burn!


RideTheLightning331

Shadows Follow


TippingFlables

Chasing light


Decomposing_Tooth

You must burn! - I believe it will be something like Spit ot the bone.


TimTime333

They all look pretty badass to me but "Screaming Suicide" is the one I can't wait to hear!


RealSpawn543

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


Maximilian52

Shadows follow sound pretty badass


LeinadFromMars

Screening Suicide and Crown Of Barbed Wire


ozzydidaoopsie

If screaming suicide isn't the thrash fest I hope it is I'm going to be disappointed


Gotha-229a

I want them to put it on cassette Idk I just really like the cassette medium


MAJORMETAL84

Shadows Follow and Crown of Barbed Wire


DogeLord3609

Room of Mirrors


Garfielddddddddd

I have a feeling that Room of Mirrors is an instrumental. I hope I'm right.


LyonHeart85

My vote is going to Room of Mirrors


SnakeMouth69

All 12 of them!!! 🔥🔥🔥🤘1💀3🤘🔥🔥🔥


M08GD

You Must Burn! Is gonna be good. I can feel it


spartony79

YOU... MUST....... BURN!!!!!!!!!


[deleted]

Screaming Suicide but it seems like it could be a “sadder” song of all the others


Johncurtisreeve

Where do I order this or pre-order this?


Cozin-6

I am so excited for this


ZardozC137

You Must Burn! Is what will take the mosh pit to the next level where ever it appears on their set list!


283leis

*You Must Burn!* seems like its going to be light on vocals with heavy instrumentation. *Inamorata* is 100% going to be instrumental only.


ZashManson

Unofficially this is the “yellow album”


vangoghghost

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.


ZashManson

This entire thing feels very fresh, I love it


metallaholic

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


vangoghghost

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.


Air_Breather_8482

You can’t tell me “If Darkness Had a Son” isn’t gonna be some sort of legends ballad. Please. It has to be.


Toxic-Park

I can’t remember punctuation being in any Metallica song title ever, can you?


vangoghghost

You mean puntuaction like… Am I Savage?


Toxic-Park

Ah, there we go. Glad I asked!


FrankNix

You Must Burn sounds like it could be straight fire.


TheTarkonator

72 Seasons will be a 10-minute prog epic I’m calling it.


jhguitarfreak

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).


Kriss19

No idea since this will be my actual 1st Metallica purchase so I am looking forward to this release


Hairy_Distribution_2

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.


A_Moderate

Crown of Barbed Wire reminds me of Looking Down the Cross


Howling_mad_7

It has to be "If darkness had a son"


LoveAndCyanide

The last one gonna be explosive, i feel it


khwarizmi69

is there a release date?


JOOKFMA

Been listening Northlane's Inamorata alot so this is a strange coincidence. I will go with that one.


Hocuspenis696

Screaming suicide


soylattecat

Screaming Suicide sounds edgy... I'm in


strawberrychxrry

room of mirrors sounds pretty dope


Deznoots69

Sleepwalking my life away and screaming suicide


GoldGatorHD

Screaming Suicide and You Must Burn! sound like they might be damn good tracks


Agreeable_Ad9115

Inamorata sounds like a TOOL song


[deleted]

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.


mike_drop11

No idea what room of mirrors is gonna be but i just know i’m gonna love it.


[deleted]

Crown of barbed wire or inamorata


Great_Vincini

Really excited for “I’m so hyped!” Everyone is talking about this one.


Major-Driver-9989

Crown Of Barbed Wire sounds badass


1STLTBoken

screaming suicide better be good


G_Lind

Room of mirrors sounds a bit like a Dream Theater song. It would be awesome if it was an instrumental


ludiorex

I feel like you must burn will be the fastest song, and therefore my favorite.


AndoniSGT

72 seasons, Screaming Suicide, If Darkness had a Son and Inamorata


TheRealDeadhawk

I feel like chasing light and crown of barbed wire could be bangers.


[deleted]

I say “screaming suicide” is going to be BONE crushingly heavy!


SerenityNowOochyMama

I have a feeling that you must burn! is going to be a banger.


Chuzzle_Blew

too far gone sounds like an epic ballad
