God, This Metallica Song Is AWESOME!!

I'm in new surroundings on a writing trip with The Darkness in Scotland so please, forgive the strange ah hoc setting. However, great news, Metallica have surprised everyone by releasing a brand new song only yesterday! Its called "Lux Aeterna". They have bestowed some much needed thrash upon our willing ears this week. What do you think of it? Are you happy, disappointed, excited, annoyed...talk to me.

I came here for the rock’n’roll but stayed for the philosophy: ”It's difficult to not sound like James Hetfield, when you are indeed James Hetfield.”

[@matgale1298]

James' voice, for a man in his 60s is insane. It's almost like he's found his higher range from the early Metallica days. The fact it's Metallica meets Ac/Dc, meets Motörhead, meets punk, meets old thrash, meets heavy rock WITHOUT a thinly veiled reskin of old Metallica is just *Chef's kiss

[@samanthar1214]

Seen people complaining about Kirk's solo, that it wasn't elaborate enough, but anything too complicated I don't think would have fit with the feel of the song. To me, this is just classic Metallica with a punk twist...i.e. Garage Days

Justin Hawkins is the living embodiment of a Matt Berry voiceover!

[@j.r.g3548]

ya know what Justin?...I think YOU are AWESOME!!!!

[@jaystel2381]

I’m more excited about the fact that The Darkness are on a writing trip! Can’t wait for more music boys! 🥳🤘🏼👏🏼

I think this song is the closest theyve been to Motorhead.

[@AdamOpzun1]

Lars said he doesn’t use a ride cymbal because he doesn’t like things that go ‘diiiiing’.. he prefers things that go ‘KRRRRSSSSHH!’ - so, lots of crash cymbals

[@salty2667]

It’s Metallica… After they had a nice warm bath 🛀 and put on their pyjamas….

[@prime-mate]

Lars sounds great quantized!

[@bandmaidfanATL]

Metallica doing Motorhead. As always JH is spot on! 🤘🤘🤘

[@HEAVYHONEY1]

I love that you're so positive and supportive! Not to mention funny, honest, and charming. I also love how truly turned on you get by the ART of it all. You're a true artist: love all you've been given (others' art) and all you can give (your art). Cheers!

Justin Hawkins - I am a classical and bluegrass Mandolinist. Hearing mandolin on "Love is only a feeling" and more prominently on "Rock and roll deserves to die" (well done!). Would love to hear any mandolin influences you (and maybe Dan) have had.

[@undisputed1291]

Best single theyve done in years, fast, exciting, and catchy!.... they came back and NAILED IT!!!😉👹👍

[@shapes2000]

Love it, very Motorhead, especially the Overkill double ending.

[@sah-win]

Alright!! Hearing you’re with the band writing made my day!!! Yous have been on a mighty epic streak. Banger after banger after banger! Keep the vinyl releases coming, please. And some reissues of the first three would be grand!!

[@jenjen81]

Love that you are so dedicated to your subscribers that you continue making content even whilst away or on a writing trip👏🏻
