Metallica

On June 8, 2023, Metallica took the stage at Donington Park for their electrifying performance of "Leper Messiah" during the Download Festival, a landmark event for rock fans worldwide. Leading up to this gig, the band had released their highly anticipated album "72 Seasons" just a couple of months earlier, in April 2023. This album, packed with fresh riffs and the band's signature intensity, marked a new chapter in their career, showcasing both growth and a return to their roots. Interestingly, "72 Seasons" draws inspiration from the concept of the seasons of life, a theme that resonates deeply within their powerful music. After over four decades in the scene, their performance at Download illustrated not just their enduring popularity, but also how they continue to captivate audiences, proving that Metallica’s magic is still very much alive and kicking. Talk about a legacy!
