Metallica shares second clip of upcoming new '72 Seasons' song

Metallica has shared a second clip of the next 72 Seasons song to be released.

Like the first snippet, the latest teaser is just an instrumental, though it offers a longer preview of the tune's thrash-y guitar riff. The clip's caption also teases that the song will be the 72 Seasons title track.

You'll be able to hear the song in full Thursday, March 30.

72 Seasons, the follow-up to 2016's Hardwired...to Self-Destruct, drops April 14. It also includes the previously released songs "Lux Æterna," "Screaming Suicide" and "If Darkness Had a Son."

Metallica will be supporting 72 Seasons on a massive world tour, which begins in Europe in April before hitting the U.S. in August.
