Metallica är ett av världens största hårdrocksband - detta är satt utom allt tvivel! Inget band har som Metallica fört fram den tyngre metallen; de har haft megahits som "Nothing Else Matters", "Master Of Puppets" och såklart "Enter Sandman".<br/><br/>Äntligen är det så dags för kvartetten att släppa sitt tolfte studioalbum som fått titeln "72 Seasons". Första singeln "Lux Æterna" var ett rejält styrkebesked - det här var Metallica i sitt esse, låten är snabb, tung och sitter som ett knytnävsslag mitt i magen. <br/> <br/>Om albumtiteln säger James Hetfield: <br/>"72 seasons. 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. I think the most interesting part of this is the continued study of those core beliefs and how it affects our perception of the world today. Much of our adult experience is reenactment or reaction to these childhood experiences. Prisoners of childhood or breaking free of those bondages we carry."

Following the release of "Inspirations" in 2021, "More Inspirations" is the second "deep dish" serving of the influences which have fed the mighty SAXON's immensely successful 40-plus-year career.<br/><br/>Whether getting feral with THE ANIMALS' "We've Gotta Get Out Of This Place", letting loose a high-octane take on ALICE COOPER's "From The Inside", or laying down a ferocious tribute to KISS's "Detroit Rock City", "More Inspirations" is a joyous trip into the sounds which galvanized the Barnsley boys and continue to get spun on home stereos and tour buses.<br/><br/>Produced by vocalist/co-founder Biff Byford, with Seb Byford helping record the music alongside mixing engineer Jacky Lehmann, "More Inspirations" also includes enthusiastic takes on RAINBOW, ZZ TOP and CREAM, as well as a thunderous "Razamanaz" by NAZARETH, a tasty take on THE WHO's "Substitute", and a thick groove take on URIAH HEEP's "Gypsy". Whether this is your first dance with such classic songs, or you've come to see where SAXON was born, "More Inspirations" delivers the goods and then some.
