Watch pro-shot footage of Metallica performing Seek & Destroy in New Jersey

A picture of Metallica's James Hetfield performing live in New Jersey in August 2023

Metallica have released pro-shot footage of their performance of classic track Seek & Destroy captured in East Rutherford, New Jersey, earlier this month.

The footage was filmed on August 4 and can be viewed below.

The band are on the latest leg of their M72 World Tour, which continues through this year and into 2024.

The M72 tour features a new in-the-round stage set, with the band's iconic "snake pit" relocated to the centre of the stage, giving fans a 360-degree view of the performance.

They are playing two shows in each city on the tour, with completely different setlists each night.

The tour is in support of the band's latest album, 72 Seasons.

Seek & Destroy originally appeared on Metallica's 1983 debut album Kill 'Em All.
