033: Wrathchild America Souls At Zero

Wrathchild America. Souls At Zero. Two Incredible bands in one, or as we lovingly refer to them: WRATHSAZ!! Easily two of THE most (criminally) underrated Thrash Metal bands of recorded history and also one of Metal Nerdery’s absolute favorites. JOIN US for a walk down memory lane into the late 80’s and early 90’s of thrash metal with the pioneer(s) of modern progressive thrash metal. Your life will be dramatically improved because of this episode, because of Matt’s weird rooster noises and most importantly, because of the splendorious wonderment that can only be recognized as the phenomenon known as WRATHSAZ!!
