Welcome to the World before “The Posts” and “The Cores”, where THRASH metal was the only label that mattered!!! JOIN US as we talk about many of the key players, and also get into some pretty provodkative discussions regarding the evolution of the thrash sound over the years. And as a SPECIAL TREAT… for those of you wanting to flexercise your metal nerd muscles, we have a little surprise fun to test your thrash metal knowledge and determine if you are truly smart enough (and worthy enough) to wear The Metal Nerdery Loincloth of Destiny (just kidding, but that sounds totally badass though, right!?)
