Let’s talk about truly\u00a0unique\u00a0voices\u00a0in\u00a0metal.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

In the 1980s, “heavy metal” music was still congealing as a genre. By that decade’s end, four bands were regarded as the kings of American metal: Metallica<\/a>, Anthrax<\/a>, Slayer and Megadeth. Despite each group’s various faults and dalliances with the law and\/or substance abuse, all four are as reliable now as they ever were. Metallica’s legal shenanigans during the Napster era don’t change the fact that their first three albums were utterly stellar. Anthrax holds a special place in many a metalhead’s black heart (plus they once kicked Beavis and Butthead off their tour bus<\/a>), and I think Slayer’s Reign In Blood<\/em> is the greatest metal album of all time, with a back cover that shows they have great taste in beer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But when I think “metal”<\/em>, I mean head-banging, devil-sign-throwing METAL<\/strong>, the kind so heavy that only Satan could lift it, I think of Megadeth’s “Symphony of Destruction”, from Countdown to Extinction<\/em> (1992). The proper version.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
