Last night, Metallica continued their week-long residency on Jimmy Kimmel Live! The band joined the show all week to promote their forthcoming album 72 Seasons which arrives on Friday. On Wednesday, Metallica tore through their seminal song “Master of Puppets” live on the show. Check out the full video of the performance below now.

James growling “MASTER” at the end of the intro will make you wanna kick a fucking door down.

Metallica’s upcoming eleventh studio LP 72 Seasons arrives on April 14 via the band’s own Blackened Recordings. Produced by Greg Fidelman with frontman James Hetfield and drummer Lars Ulrich, and clocking in at over 77 minutes, the 12-track 72 Seasons is Metallica’s first full length collection of new material since 2016’s Hardwired…To Self-Destruct. The album will be released in formats including 2LP 140-gram black vinyl and limited edition variants, CD and digital download.

Additionally, Metallica are returning to the road this summer. The band previously announced their M72 Word Tour which will see the band perform back-to-back nights at each stop with no repeat performances. In each city, special guests on Night One will be Pantera and Mammoth WVH. Five Finger Death Punch and Ice Nine Kills will serve as support on Night 2. Tickets are on sale now HERE

In October, Metallica are slated to headline the all-new Power Trip Festival in California alongside Iron Maiden, AC/DC, Ozzy Osbourne, Tool, and Guns N’ Roses.
