067: Metal Massacre II

067: Metal Massacre II

Sometimes you have to be reminded of history to understand bolth where you come from and why things are the way they are today. Thanks to Brian Slagel and Metal Blade Records various Metal Massacre compilations, we’re able to gain a greater glimpse of the Metal landscape as it was at that time; a sound that was slowly transitioning from hard rock into what we know and love as heavy metal.

JOIN US as we turn off the Coleco Vision and pour another bowl of our favorite relaxers and time travel back to the early 80’s and peruse through Metal Blade’s Metal Massacre II.
