Another performance video from the upcoming 72 Seasons album, but with a totally different vibe than "Lux Æterna" —from the b/w grade, to the emotive performance by James Hetfield and an almost painterly touch with the framing and effects, all of which underscore the song's serious subject matter.
If you're sensitive to flashing lights and images — or just generally scared of the dystopian future — then exercise caution with this mixed-media sci-fi romp.
This might seem like a standard "what if Metallica was a Scandinavian Death Metal band" video, but remember that it's directed by Jonas Akerlund, and keep your eye on those decapitated pig heads.
Metallica's new album drops soon, and they plan to release a video for every track. This one is a performance clip with segments that mimic the album cover; I won't spoil it if you haven't seen the artwork.
