And so continues the Californian quartet’s mythic two-part journey. Horizons/West – the twelfth studio album from Thrice – might not have arrived quite as hot-on-the-heels of first parter ‘Horizons/East’ as some might have liked, but better late than never eh? Where 2021’s ‘Horizons/East’ opens with the soft glow of possibility, though, its counterpart crashes in with the aftermath. Less a sunrise, a warming haze of hope, and more the moment the sun disappears, the long shadow cast by the doubts that came before. If ‘Horizons/East’ asks what it means to believe, ‘Horizons/West’ asks what remains after belief has been tested, cracked, and dragged through the murky waters.

Things have never been easy for Metallica’s 1996 album Load, a multiplatinum record nobody ever admits to liking, especially the band’s most avid fans. In early 1995, Metallica had a “good problem”: how to follow up The Black Album, the 1991 smash that turned them from metal heroes into global rock stars. It wasn’t an easy question. Featuring their megahit “Enter Sandman,” The Black Album was Nineties metal’s Dark Side of the Moon, the moment when an already stadium-filling band became a household name. Then, in the middle of the three-year tour to support the incredibly popular record, grunge became the lingua franca of mainstream rock, forcing Metallica to reconsider their place in music.
