066: 1985 Year In Metal

We did it again; we kept it loose (which was, like, totally awesome, but whatever…).  We had initially intended on targeting 1985 Thrash Metal but as it turns out, there was an absolute abundance of killer metal albums from all across the metal continuum released during 1985 that went beyond Thrash, so we decided to include those as part of the discussion as well.     So go roll another bowl of your favorite relaxer, pretend your laptop and cell phone don’t exist for the next hour, fire up the DeLorean and JOIN US for a look back at Metal from the Year of our Riff Lord, 1985.   Visit www.metalnerdery.com/podcast for more on this episode Consider supporting us at Patreon - patreon.com/metalnerderypodcast You'll find some extra goodies there too!
