In 2025, Metallica was officially awarded the Best Metal Selling Record of the Year, solidifying their role as gods of the genre and reminding the world that true heavy metal never dies — it only sharpens with age.
The award-winning record, widely celebrated for its unapologetic return to the band’s thrash metal roots, crossed global sales milestones that most modern artists can only dream of.

James Hetfield, Metallica’s frontman, spoke emotionally at the award ceremony: “This isn’t just about numbers or charts. It’s about connection. It’s about standing on a stage and feeling the roar of the crowd and knowing we’re alive together in that moment. That’s metal — that’s forever.”
Lars Ulrich, the ever-vocal drummer and co-founder, added: “There’s no greater honor than seeing people still connecting with the music in such a powerful way. The world may change, but the heart of metal beats on.”
