Metallica launch official videos for three more songs from 72 Seasons

Metallica screengrabs

Metallica have launched videos for Shadows Follow, Room Of Mirrors and Sleepwalk My Life Away. All three songs are taken from new album 72 Seasons, which was released on Friday, and join an ever-growing list of tracks from the album that now have accompanying visuals.  

The animated videos for Shadows Follow and Room Of Mirrors were directed by Tristan Zammit, best known for working on films for rap musicians like XXXTentacion, Little Yachty and Denzel Curry, who comments on YouTube, "I hope everyone loves this! Thank you to Metallica for letting me create this! Greatest band of all time."

The clip for Sleepwalk My Life Away was directed by Tim Saccenti, the man behind last year's Lux Æterna video. Saccenti has previously worked with the likes of Korn, Depeche Mode and Run The Jewels.    

Last week Metallica announced that their upcoming M72 World Tour shows at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, TX, are to be broadcast live in cinemas worldwide on Friday, August 18 and Sunday, August 20. The band will be performing two completely different sets over the course of the two shows, with no songs repeated. Ticket details will be announced shortly.

The band have also confirmed that the M72 tour will feature a new in-the-round stage set, with the band's iconic "snake pit" relocated to the centre of the stage, giving fans lucky enough to get tickets a 360-degree view of the show. The tour kicks on April 27 at the Johan Cruijff Arena in Amsterdam. Full dates below. 

Tickets are on sale now.
