Jordan gave me a simple prompt: "How about a show about heavy metal?" and now it has turned into three episodes covering early 80s US heavy metal, late 80s heavy metal, and now, heavy metal across the world through the 1980s. This week we're talking about the Canadian, German, Swedish, Danish, and English heavy metal bands that defined the 80s and cemented a then-nascent sound into the foundations of the music we love today. We got Thor, we got Heavy Load, we got Raven, we got Mercyful Fate, we got Warlock, and we got Helloween. Folks... it's a good one.
