With a new generation of metal acts taking full advantage of technological advances and some of the genres existing giants releasing landmark albums, 2003 was a year that metal truthers could thrust their horns in the air with pride. In recognition of this monumental moment in metal, we've pieced together a playlist of 23 Metal Anthems Turning 20 in 2023.
Metallica have delivered a ripping rendition of Master of Puppets on Jimmy Kimmel Live! As part of their week-long residency on the program, the appearance also saw them attempt to master the art of actual puppetry.
An eight-minute epic 72 Seasons sees Metallica embrace their darker side as James Hetfield sings of being haunted by mankind's wrath. Arriving accompanied by a Tim Saccenti directed video, 72 Seasons sets the tone for the album of the same name, which is set to drop on April 14th.
James Hetfield has been cast in an upcoming western film, 'The Thicket'. An adaptation of the Joe R. Lansdale novel, The Thicket will feature some Hollywood heavy-hitters, with Peter Dinklage producing and starring in the film, alongside Juliette Lewis, Esmé Creed-Miles, Levon Hawke and many more.
Metallica have shared the video for their new single If Darkness Had A Son. The third track released from the highly anticipated new album 72 Seasons, If Darkness Had A Son is a classic Metallica mid-tempo stomper, in the vein of Harvester of Sorrow or The Thing That Should Not Be.
triple j's iconic countdown 'The Hottest 100' will take place this Saturday. To celebrate we did a deep dive on the countdown's history to find the 20 heaviest songs to ever be voted into 'The Hottest 100'.
