Metallica have posted a glimpse on the set of their video for Screaming Suicide, the second song taken from their forthcoming album 72 Seasons.
The promo was shot in Los Angeles on January 8 and directed by Tim Saccenti, who helmed the previous video for Lux Æterna.
This 10-minute behind-the-scenes video, shot by Brett Murray, shows the bare bones of a video shoot staffed by a large production team, from setting up to packing down and the mucking about that invariably is part and parcel of a long day on set.
Check it out below.
Metallica’s new album, 72 Seasons, will be released on April 14, 2023 on the band's own Blackened Recordings label. The album's first single, Lux Æterna, was released in November.
