179: The Year In Metal: 1983

179: The Year In Metal: 1983

“Those were the days…”

1983. A time when “Star Wars: Episode VI – Return of the Jedi” was number one at the box office, the national debt was a meager $195 BILLION (compared to the $31,000 BILLION behemoth it is today), the first mobile phones cost around four grand (which, when adjusted for inflation, would be around $12K today), and Metallica, Pantera, and Slayer had just released their first-new debut albums.

Get ready to get “shock-popped” right in your ear holes, break out your “gloves of shame” for old time’s sake, transport yourself back to a time when “the hills were alive” with the sound of metal and JOIN US as we celebrate the 40th anniversary of The Year In Metal: 1983.
