Metallica - 72 Seasons (Old-School Metallica Tone)

This is a recreation of the title track of Metallica's new album "72 Seasons".

All instruments except the original vocals were remade, played and recorded from scratch, using mixing and sound design techniques to get close enough to the sonic style of Metallica's legendary classic tones, such as Ride the Lightning and Master of Puppets.

When you hear critiques of new Metallica material, it’s videos like these that make you realize that these songs would’ve been accepted if they were of a different time. We only put it under a microscope cause it’s NEW. When you’re a band whose covered so much ground and has embedded such a legacy, everything is under scrutiny. 72 Seasons should be appreciated for what it is, a product of where a band together for 40 years is putting their best foot forward.

5:42 This drum fill totally sounds like something Lars would’ve played back in the 80’s.

I can imagine Cliff playing 72 Seasons intro with fingers live 🔥

I can't put into words how better this sounds. It's almost like they're supposed to use old technology to record their albums.

[MeniscoManeiro]

Bro please....make the full album, PLEASE this sounds surreal....

[nicholaslindenmeyer]

The riffs on this song sound so fun to play.

72 seasons is such a great song! One of my favorites by Metallica my favorite on the new album! This sounds thrashy!

[LostinaMemory]

You should take James’ vocals and use Waves Bender plug-in to make his formant higher. It’ll simulate his young voice while keeping the same pitch!

1:18 has to be the most catchiest and headbanging material I’ve ever heard from new Metallica put in the old style

[teerboyd]

Something about the RTL tone will make any song sound legendary imo

[el_mamaguebo]

This is a reminder that people only hate Metallica because they changed their tone lol

[stormykeep]

1:17 The main verse riff, gotta be one of my Metallica favorites!

[xrt]

i would describe the Ride Lightening album sound as thunderous eletrifying lightning- striking guitar tone with a cold fresh breeze of danish icey snowy winter night atmosphere.

[zuckleyplays]

Dude I deadass got that ride the lightning vibe from this I love this!

[puppetzinc]

Literally everything sounds better. Drums, solo, riffs are clean, new mixing is too muddy. Love it great job. Metallica should run a competition, the best mix of 72, wins tickets to live shows and Merch.

[villiannewyork]

Crazy how much tone can make something sound so drastically better

[JosCartaphilus]

It is exciting how with each release of Metallica the entire community does this type of experiment, what a fucking great band

[KBXband]

God this song rocks no matter what era you slap it into. What a banger.
