Hardwired… to Self‐Destruct

A massive double-disc return to form. Precision-engineered thrash riffs meet stadium-sized grooves with a bone-shaking, modern production crunch.

Late-career consolidation

A thick, modern high-gain wall of sound anchors this double album, which balances the blistering velocity of their earliest days with the massive, mid-tempo weight of their self-titled era. The production emphasizes a sharp percussive snap and relentless, palm-muted rhythm guitars that reclaim their sonic territory with a defiant, late-career snarl.
