Loudwire's 'Best Metal Album of 2025' winners are gearing up for a busy 2026.

Breaking down the biggest (and sometimes silliest) covers from Metallica, Anthrax, Exodus and other major thrash metal acts.

Some of the most beloved albums from Slayer, Deftones and Green Day were all released in October. Here is a look at the best from each day.

Some are fast. Some are groovy. All are heavy — and awesome.

Loudwire singles out 15 big thrash bands and names the best album by each.

See what song these legendary thrash bands have each played live the most.

Who said you can't make amazing music decades after you got started?!
