Strap on your big sneakers and bullet belts as your scribe to all things metal takes you on a journey through the history and evolution of the East Coast Thrash scene. This metal sub-genre rose from the flames of the NWOBHM age and ironically, the polar opposite hardcore punk scene of the early 80s forming a bond in blood that would thrive in the gutters, toxic waste dumps, and nuclear bunkers for the new decade of metal. Forcefully mutating itself to adapt and survive in the metal holocaust of the 90s, and re-emerging from the abandon underworld in modern times as a horde of cannibalistic mutants, hell bent on taking back metal from the inbred metal-core survivors on the surface. Hang on as your scribe to all things metal takes you on 25 song playlist from the roots to the modern day revivalists that maintain the radioactive fire that is the East coast thrash metal scene today.
