073: 1986 Year In Metal

Metal Nerdery Podcast

1986. The Highlander. The Challenger. Reign in Blood. One of THE most critically important years in Thrash history (and honestly, I would argue that for ALL Metal, but as Russell would say: I digest). Thanks to the glorious excess of the mid-1980’s (Thanks Reaganomics and cocaine!), metal fans were treated to some of the finest, most incomparably superb moments in metal history that would likely NEVER be bested. Period.

You know what time it is! It’s 2021: time to leave the polished turdity of 2020 behind you, assemble a various and sundry cornucopia of your favorite relaxers to be consumed however you feel most comfortable and JOIN US as we stroll through The Year of Our Riff Lord 1986.
