Metallica’s recent European tour received a four-star review from NME, which noted, “Metallica has always been a gateway band for heavy music, but there’s a renewed excitement around them now. Tonight’s surprising, ambitious, and exhilarating performance matches that energy at every turn.” The review highlighted how their iconic track “Master Of Puppets” resonated with the audience, alongside other favorites like “Nothing Else Matters” and “Seek & Destroy,” showcasing why Metallica remains the greatest metal band today.

Earlier, their album ‘72 Seasons’ was also awarded four stars, with NME calling it a “thrilling sonic onslaught.” The review pointed out that for younger fans discovering heavy rock—especially after hearing “Master of Puppets” featured in Netflix’s Stranger Things—this album serves as an excellent introduction. It emphasized that after decades in the industry, Metallica continues to deliver sharp, impactful metal.

In other news, the band recently honored a Canadian fan who passed away during their concert in Edmonton. Additionally, fans had the chance to bid for a charity dinner date with lead singer and guitarist James Hetfield. Although bidding has closed and the winning bid remains undisclosed, it was confirmed that the winner can bring up to three guests, though they must cover the entire cost for the evening.
