“72 Seasons” is the band’s eleventh studio album and follows their 2016 release “Hardwired… to Self-Destruct”. The album features 12 tracks totaling over 77 minutes and will be available to purchase via CD, 2LP 140g black vinyl, two different colored vinyl variations, and digitally in the Met Store. The band will head out on their M72 World Tour this summer.

The titled of the album was explain by James saying “72 seasons. The first 18 years of our lives that form our true or false selves. The concept that we were told ‘who we are’ by our parents. A possible pigeonholing around what kind of personality we are. I think the most interesting part of this is the continued study of those core beliefs and how it affects our perception of the world today. Much of our adult experience is reenactment or reaction to these childhood experiences. Prisoners of childhood or breaking free of those bondages we carry.”
