METALLICA have dropped a new EP, ‘The Amsterdam Sessions’. The four-track EP, recorded in April at Ready Set Studios in Amsterdam, consists of ’72 Seasons’ cuts ‘Lux Æterna’ and ‘If Darkness Had A Son’, alongside classics ‘Master Of Puppets’ and ‘Nothing Else Matters’.
‘The Amsterdam Sessions’ is out now, available exclusively via Amazon Music.
It’s a raw live-into-the-studio set, punchy, with the band sounding as if playing in front of you.
Metallica have also shared the live video performance of ‘If Darkness Had A Son’, taken off the same EP. You can watch their performance of ‘If Darkness Had A Son’ below.
Metallica most recently released their 11th studio album ’72 Seasons’ in April via their own label, Blackened. The record scored rave reviews: “For young fans just now learning the joys of heavy rock – perhaps lured in by the appearance of this band’s 1986 classic ‘Master of Puppets’ on Netflix megahit Stranger Things last year – this new record will be a fitting gateway drug. For everyone else there’s simply the reassuring thrill that, after so many decades on stage, Metallica are still capable of delivering sharp, spiky metal – and sticking it where the sun doesn’t shine.”
