The Golden Age of Thrash!
Heavy metal finally got *extreme* in the Golden Age of Thrash — from 1983 to 1991, a new style of metal emerged that was harder, faster, and crazier than anything that came before, and it conquered the global metal underground, re-wrote the rules of heavy music, and redefined the meaning of Metal. From its American progenitors to its European adopters, from its most adept virtuosi to its most ramshackle punk-rocking syncretists, from East Coast to West Coast and from Canada to South America, this third installment of THE HISTORY OF HEAVY METAL will tell you everything you need to know about the halcyon years of Thrash Metal.
Featuring insightful coverage of more than 50 bands, from the genre’s most world-famous titans to its most underrated obscurities, THE HISTORY OF HEAVY METAL VOL 3: THE GOLDEN AGE OF THRASH is your guide to one of metal’s most important eras.
