Prisoners of childhood or breaking free of those bondages we carry.”

Much of our adult experience is reenactment or reaction to these childhood experiences. 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. A possible pigeonholing around what kind of personality we are. The concept that we were told ‘who we are’ by our parents. The first 18 years of our lives that form our true or false selves. “Is there a special meaning to the title?” you ask. David, who won a Grammy for his work on Death Magnetic, is the man behind the look and feel of all of our recent releases, including Through The Never, S&M2, and Hardwired.

The album package was once again conceived and art directed by our good friend, acclaimed designer David Turner, and his team. Directed by Tim Saccenti, we recently traveled to Los Angeles to capture our performance using some crazy cutting-edge technology. Every pre-order will receive a digital instant grat track of the first song we are releasing, “Lux Æterna,” and you can check out the brand new video, one of the coolest we’ve ever made, on our YouTube channel. Produced by Greg Fidelman, along with James and Lars, 72 Seasons is available for pre-order now on CD, 2LP 140g black vinyl, two different colored vinyl variations, and digitally in the Met Store.
