LYRICS
Feeding on the wrath of man
Shot down
Traumatic
Time haunted by the past
Long gone
Dogmatic
Although the die is cast
Shot down
Volcanic
But what is done is done and done
Look back
Psychotic
No chance before this life began
Staring into black light
Dominating birthright
Wrath of man
Leaching through
Split in two
Wrath of man
Crash into
Point of view
Wrath of man
Violence
Inheritance
Wrath of man
Thrive upon
Feeding on
72 seasons gone
Feeding on the wrath of man
Shoot back
Erratic
Mad seasons take their toll
New mask
Chaotic
Completely lost control
Shoot back
Fanatic
Wither under looming shadow cast
Slip back
Narcotic
Blinded by the ashes of the past
Staring into black light
Choking on the stage fright
Wrath of man
Leaching through
Split in two
Wrath of man
Crash into
Point of view
Wrath of man
Violence
Inheritance
Wrath of man
Thrive upon
Feeding on
72 seasons gone
Piercing through
Cut in two
Polarize
Point of view
Crash into
Paralyze
Feeding on the wrath of man
Man down
Barbaric
Quick fire machine gun thoughts
Deep seed
Stigmatic
Some have and some have not
Man down
Demonic
No mercy from the ghost within
Turn back
Hypnotic
There’s breathing out but not back in
Staring into black light
Permanently midnight
Wrath of man
Leaching through
Split in two
Wrath of man
Crash into
Point of view
Wrath of man
Violence
Inheritance
Wrath of man
Thrive upon
Feeding on
72 seasons gone
Feeding on the wrath of man

[@MM_in_Havasu]

Been listening to Metallica since 1981. They are like fine wine, they just get better with age. I'm 65 now & still listen to their music. Turn this up.

[@clinical_caliber]

i understand they formed the band in 1981, but they didn’t release their first album until 1983. curious as to how you were listening to them before they released their first piece of work? 😂 Correction- so far 1981 is impossible, but 1982 is legit.

[@utu_be]

​@@clinical_caliber they did live covers

[@MM_in_Havasu]

@@clinical_caliber living in CA at the time, genius. They got started in Smell-A before moving to the bay area. Ever heard of bands playing in bars/nightclubs?

[@clinical_caliber]

@@MM_in_Havasu don’t need to be a smart ass. i just can’t find any evidence of them playing live in 1981. their first show was in march of 1982

[@clinical_caliber]

@@MM_in_Havasu but that’s cool you saw them in the local setting

[@stevenolivo6097]

Considering their age, the fact that they can still play at this pace with as much intensity and aggression just goes to show their level of professionalism, commitment, and sheer dedication to the music. There are plenty of artists in their advance stage of life and clearly they can’t cut it anymore, but these guys still have something to prove each and every time. Now they’re in their Ironmaiden phase, writing 11min songs to test themselves. Not bad grand daddies of rock!

[@MetaleiroBarizon]

It's music not a sport, motherfuckers is using his finger to play, easy

[@benjamininkorea7016]

Forget their age even as a factor. They're not great FOR THEIR AGE. They're just fu*king great.

[@MrMOGHammer]

People imagine people at their age not supposed to be able to do this. Most talented musician have been able to do it into their very old age. Look at the Rolling Stones still kicking it at 80. Many people are to do what they are the best at almost until they die. We have not seen the end for Metallica, not in the foreseeable future. Maybe 2 more albums at least I believe.

[@reapervich4192]

​@@MrMOGHammer i don't think it's fair to compare the rolling stones with Metallica, because they make really different kind of music

There are older dudes playing harder stronger and and at really insane peace. Just put it in this way, tom Araya is older than James hetfield

[@Obscura0511]

Bruh!!!!!!! They almost 60 and smashing bands half their age! LONG LIVE THE METAL KINGS M E T A L L I C A!!!!!!!!!

​@@rkarins3825 incorrect

[@rkarins3825]

@@ravenfire5827 Maybe. But when you listen to their latest releases, Testament's 'Titans of Creation' makes Metallica's '72 Seasons' sound like the garbage that nu metal bands like FFDP and Slipknot hock up on the regular.

[@rkarins3825]

@GavinLeines "You also don't seem to understand people can like different metal bands than you. Just saying" The irony of this comment is missed on you, isn't it? If you read the original post, I was simply offering a differing opinion: out of the Bay Area thrash bands, Testament is actually heavier and faster than current Metallica.

This song gets better every time I listen to it.

[@sicjes1]

Even when I try to give it a break, it just keeps going on loop in my head 😂

[@metalfaceoff945]

Same. It's fun to play on guitar. I love when people complain that it sounds like Metallica's best stuff from the 1980s and 2008+ combined. I'm also digging Nobody by Avenged Sevenfold. The lyrics are interesting.

[@jeffreydhill]

@@metalfaceoff945 Agreed on both. When I play it on guitar I feel like it has the same DNA as their entire career and I love it. They've embraced the different eras of their career and its become this sound. And Nobody was really cool, too! I'm not even a big A7X fan but I dig that one.

It sounds like it should of been on Death Magnetic.

[@rahra2483]

Metallica is on tour right now, if you've never seen them live and have be contemplating...GO! Saw them Friday at their first US date. They looked and sounded great! What an experience.

[@unciclistacontraelsistema8620]

But I must say honestly tickets are too expensive...

[@rahra2483]

@@unciclistacontraelsistema8620 my mistake was that I should have bought them as soon as the dates were announced but I wasn't really sure if I was going because of covid risk. The resales are more expensive if you want really good seats but I think just "being in the room" would still be an amazing experience. I was contemplating going the second night. Just buy the cheap seats in top.

“All Nightmare Long” off Death Magnetic is still probably my favorite from Metallica’s third wave.

[@Keith_from_LBC]

@@fuzzboxBBQ As much as I like all of the 72 songs so far, every song from Death Magnetic/Beyond Magnetic blows them away. DM will probably be their final Thrqsh album. They’re more Hard Rock now.

[@MrMOGHammer]

@@Keith_from_LBC so far the released single fit into thrash metal style.

[@Rico_71]

​@@Keith_from_LBC I kinda think you're right, but not entirely...every now and then they drop something like "spit out the bone" which to me is very much older style. But overall yes, they slowed down a bit which is not always bad. Personally I get load/reload+steroids vibes from the whole album

[@camrenkoen8516]

The lyrics are real,fantastical

[@jayaidsmarstef7340]

Yesterday, my mom called and I could hear MetallicA in the background. I thought my kid was at their house. Turns out it was my 70 year old dad trying to re-learn Fade to Black. I quit work early and drove to their house, where dad said the new album took him back more than 40 years to before I was born.
