September 1987

Welcome to this weeks episode of Heavy Metal History.

September 1987 which was a jam packed month full of metal releases, but the question is was it quantity over quality or the other way around?

We examine and discuss 6 albums this week and most of the albums released during this time fall in the more “generic” category unfortunately.

Savatage, Grim Reaper and Armored Saint all put out albums that could genuinely be somewhat interchangeable in most respects. They aren't ground breaking even by 1987 standards and it leaves the listener wondering if these bands were that game changing back then or if most people didn't care that much for them.

Motorhead releases an album that could also be put under that same speculation, but its fucking Motorhead so they get a pass regardless. We see the pre-birth of what would eventually lead to the creation of Type O Negative with Pete Steeles Hardcore/Punk/Thrash hybrid album “Retaliation” with his band Carnivore. September was a weird month and while these are only our opinions it seems not many of these records have stood the test of time, but the bands themselves have, which speaks volumes.

We also do our weekly breakdown going into new releases and letting you all know about a new and up and coming band formed out of members from Enterprise Earth and I Declare War!

Albums we discussed:

Motorhead - "Rock N Roll"
Kreator - "Terrible Certainty"
Armored Saint - "Raising Fear"
Carnivore - "Retaliation"
Grim Reaper - "Rock you to Hell"
Savatage - "Hall of the Mountain King"
