For the first time in 10 years, Anthrax is releasing a new song.

The track is called "It's for the Kids" and is due out Friday. You can presave it now.

"It's been more than a decade…but we're back," the thrash metallers tease in a Facebook post.

"It's for the Kids" is expected to be the first preview of Anthrax's long-in-the-works 12th studio effort, the follow-up to 2016's For All Kings.

Anthrax will be playing select shows on Iron Maiden's North American tour beginning in September. Megadeth will also be on the bill.
