Metallica have announced a four-night 'residency' on Jimmy Kimmel Live leading up to the release of their new album 72 Seasons.

The thrash icons will make four live appearances on the show from Monday, April 10 through to Thursday, April 13. They will also chat with host Kimmel as they promote the album, which is released on Friday, April 14.

In a social media post, Metallica say: "We’re celebrating 72 Seasons release week by taking over late night! Catch us on Jimmy Kimmel Live on ABC Monday, April 10 - Thursday, April 13 for four live performances, one night of chatting on the couch, and whatever other fun Jimmy has in store for us."

Metal Hammer's review of 72 Seasons says frontman James Hetfield is the album's "man-of-the-match," and adds that "rarely, if ever, has he laid himself as bare as he does here."

Classic Rock's review says: "Metallica’s only concern is making the best Metallica album possible irrespective of what’s going on around them. On that score, 72 Seasons is a ringing success."
