“BLACKENED® was created as a way for us to connect with our fans and whiskey connoisseurs,” said Metallica drummer and co-founder, Lars Ulrich regarding BLACKENED’s® release of their commemorative 72 Seasons Batch, “This batch does exactly that. We know our fans have been waiting a long time for new music, and we want to celebrate this release with them in every possible way we can.
