Over the coming weeks, we’ll be rolling out four major discussions with James, Lars, Kirk, and Robert. They are holistic conversations covering the creative cycle of 72 Seasons and the men behind it.

I don’t believe I’ve ever come across another artist who is at once as classic, baroque, yet explosively colorful as Marald van Haasteren. Born In Leiden, the Netherlands, Marald is that rare blend of impressionist with swathes of gothic influence and equally eruptive yet supremely finite use of color in the way of modern muralists.

I’ve done many round-table interviews with Metallica over the decades. Each one brings a new flavor, and I never feel anything less than 100% comfortable. However, as I approached the gathering of All Within My Hands Scholars from West Virginia University at Parkersburg in PNC Park’s lower tier seats, I confess to feeling a tad anxious.

Two Marines, Jake Wood and William McNulty, decided to act on what they saw as simply not enough urgent action to help people in obvious and desperate need. They gathered a small group of veterans, first responders, and medical staff, rounded up supplies, and took off on a mission which would spawn Team Rubicon, a veteran-led humanitarian organization that serves global communities before, during, and after disasters and crises.
Aside from being one of the more decent human beings you could meet on this planet, Tony Squindo is something of a Renaissance man. Yes, yes, by now, his wonderful art has become well-known among the Metallica family. But dig a little deeper, and you’ll see a man rich with a wide-ranging palette of experiences.
It’s no understatement to say Jason Gossman is the Swiss Army Knife of Metallica’s audio and production team. Gossman has become an indispensable part of many sonic situations, filling multiple roles, from helping run the Tuning Room on tour to organizing sessions with Rob Trujillo when both are in Southern California.
The production team behind 72 Seasons is precisely that: a team. Sara Killion – engineer and gatekeeper of all the raw facts and pathways behind 72 Seasons – has been the quiet, calm studio powerhouse who keeps all areas ticking.
Producer Greg Fidelman has become a vital part of the mapping process in getting songs from development to the proverbial finish line. A quiet, fastidious person whose true comfort zone lies in the studio, Fidelman has the unique ability to offer an overview of how 72 Seasons came about.
Steffan Chirazi and Renée Richardson recruited chapter heads from some of the Month of Giving fundraising competition's top performers to discuss their connection to service and giving back, and how they've created such successful campaigns.
