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

Speed and aggression are the genre's stock-in-trade, but these bands weren't afraid to get experimental.

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.

Some had careers that are still going while others spent a short lived time in the spotlight. See what happened to rock and metal's class of 1985.

Everyone gets a little tender now and then.

Greatness comes in waves.
