New Metallica song just released this morning. This one is going to have grow on me. It sounds like Fuel meets Hardwired with goofy lyrics.

The riff in the intro that is also in the chorus has some Kill Em All Era vibes. I like it.

Lux Æterna Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Anticipation
In domination
A sea of hearts beat as one, unified
Magnification
All generations
Approaching thunder awaiting the light

[Pre-Chorus]
Full speed or nothing
Full speed or nothing
[Chorus]
Lux Æterna
Lux Æterna

[Verse 2]
Exhilaration
Frenzied sensation
Kindred alliance connected inside
Commiseration
Sonic salvation
Cast out the demons that strangle your life

[Pre-Chorus]
Full speed or nothing
Full speed or nothing

[Chorus]
Lux Æterna
Lux Æterna (yeah!)
Lux Æterna

[Verse 3]
Emancipation
Kill isolation
Never alone for the feelings alike
Amplification
Lightning the nation
Never alive more
Than right here tonight

[Pre-Chorus]
Full speed or nothing
Full speed or nothing

[Chorus]
Lux Æterna
Lux Æterna

[Outro]
Light it

I think I'm more impressed with Lars on that one. That's a high aerobic workout.

Like it. Sounds like disc 1 garage inc. Vocally and music. very new wave brit metal. Also really like the new Megadeth album. Also has a few songs with the old tyme metal sound. Happy to see they are saying frick it and getting back to roots.

Everyone still has other bands, I'm guessing they will mainly just do festivals, one off shows and stuff like the Metallica tour.

Probably playing the Danny Wimmer circuit

My reaction. It sounds like it took 30 seconds to write and there's no melody or hook. We'll see how the rest of the album turns, and I know a bunch love the return to "thrash", but I think it's lame as that a bunch of 60 year olds are desperately trying to prove they're not old. None of it is organic, and I'm hoping there's some other mid tempo songs with groove and James using that deep voice of his instead of his new found wailing the last 15 years

Kind of think the opposite. Chorus seemed way to hooky and on the nose for a thrash song. And the sound seems too polished for a thrash band. All flash and no real angst. Not really the band's fault, though, considering they're multi-millionaires.

That's my problem. They're trying way too hard to have a hook, but it doesn't work. Hetfield just doesn't seem to come up with them the way he used to and it just ends up being corny as hell. It's like they've turned into Avenged Sevenfold. They sorta sound like Metallica but it ends up just being silly
