Thrash Or Be Thrashed!

We're blowing the doors and windows out of the Rock Van on this episode as we explore the monster known as Thrash Metal. We explore the culture of thrash metal, its origins, its peak and its decline. We discuss the Big 4... or 5... or 6 thrash bands, the West Coast / East Coast scenes of the 80's and Metal Blade and MegaForce records (and their founders). Finally, what would an episode of the Rock Van be with the music! We hear and learn about Metallica, Slayer, Venom, Megadeth, Death Angel, Anthrax, Merciful Fate and Pantera among others. Plus we'll remember Paul Baloff and his groundbreaking band Exodus. Better put on your seatbelt you're about to get THRASHED!
