On this week’s show we’re turning our attention to the United States in the early 80s. Europe was the dominant force in heavy metal but massive changes were coming just down the line. We’re talking about the bands that were moving and shaking the US from 1980 to 1984. We’re talking about the sonic shifts that would set up glam and thrash to take the world by storm just moments later. Join us as we discuss Metal Massacre, Metal Blade, Bitch, Warlord, Armored Saint, Griffin, Truama, and much, much more.
