Whoo man, this month is gonna be fun! (Let alone the rest of the year!) But anyway, this month is all about Thrash Metal! That glorious, old-school, beer-drinking, pizza-eating genre of metal that is ALWAYS a good time! Today, we go through some "terms and definitions" as we like to call it. We discuss questions like "What is Thrash?"; "What makes it so special?"; and "What makes it different from other similar forms of metal?" Remember to do your neck stretches before banging your head off, and keep the beer flowing!
