Metallica To Release ASL Videos of "72 Seasons" Songs

Lars Ulrich Calls Metallica's "72 Seasons" The Most Friction-Free Record

Before the "72 Seasons" arrival, Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich sat for an interview with Masa Ito of TVK's Rock City and talked about the band's latest album.

According to the musician, the new album benefited from the members' respect for each other and their increased maturity. He noted that they had a lot of internal differences within 40 years of making music together.

However, they all found themselves in an environment with less in-fighting and less disagreements while working on "72 Seasons."

"This record we made, I think, without any arguments. Nobody was shouting or yelling or doing anything crazy. There was no posturing or 'my way' - it was basically nothing of that," he said, adding that the album is officially the most friction-free record the members ever created.

Metallica released the album through its Blackened Recordings and was produced by James Hetfield, Ulrich, and Greg Fidelman.
