Your week is about to get a lot heavier, courtesy of Metallica.

The metal legends will drop another new song off their upcoming 72 Seasons album Thursday, March 30. We don't know the name of the track yet, but you can listen to a 15-second clip of its guitar riff now via Metallica's Twitter.

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.
