[[caption-width-right:316:''Thrive upon, feeding on, 72 seasons gone.'']]

''72 Seasons'' is the eleventh album by Music/{{Metallica}}, released on April 14, 2023. The band started jamming out song ideas in 2019 and spent over a year and a half recording from 2021-22. According to James Hetfield, the album title refers to "the first 18 years of our lives that form our true or false selves. The concept that we were told 'who we are' by our parents. A possible pigeonholing around what kind of personality we are."

The title track won the MediaNotes/GrammyAward for Best Metal Performance.
