This Weekend on WMMR: 72 Hours of Metallica

Metallica's 11^th studio album 72 Seasons is finally here. To honor the return of our beloved Bay Area thrashers, we're playing blocks of the band for 72 straight hours this weekend (that's 3 days, if you don't like doing math) with plenty of chances to win Metallica merch of your own.

Each block is your chance to win the new album, and we've got all your devices covered. Friday winners will get it on cassette, Saturday winners receive the CD, and Sunday winners will score the vinyl LP. All winners this weekend will get a digital copy, too, just in case it's been a while since you dusted off your tape player.

There's also a grand prize up for grabs: Metallica's entire catalogue on vinyl, including a signed copy of 72 Seasons, AND a new turntable. We love that new record smell! Enter to win that here.

If you're a night owl, get to South Street TONIGHT for a listening party at Philly's heaviest record store, Vinyl Altar. More on that here.

Later this weekend, stay up late Sunday for a radio special at 11pm on WMMR. You'll hear James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich discussing 72 Seasons and the subsequent tour, which comes to New Jersey in August.

Use our free app, your smart speaker or a trusty FM dial to blast Metallica all weekend. Crank it up to eleven!!

Pierre RobertAuthor

From roughly 10:30am to somewhere around 3 (we call it Pierre Standard Time) weekdays Philadelphia rocks with (and loves) Pierre Robert on WMMR. Pierre Robert began his illustrious career at the pioneering progressive rock station KSAN, in his hometown San Francisco, but it’s through his uninterrupted 42-year tenure at Philadelphia‘s legendary WMMR that he’s made his mark. One of the city’s most recognizable celebrities will write about being at the center of its live music scene and greeting his legions of fans as if personal friends in the smallest clubs and largest stadiums.
