Welcome to the Boomtown

Welcome back to the 80s! If you did a Wikipedia search for “heavy metal music” you would see there are literally dozens of different metal subgenres and fusion genres, as well as regional and local scenes. Episode 25, Precious Metal, features some of the popular metal artists of the 80s from the US, Canada, and the UK. So, turn up the volume to 11, throw up your devil horns, and start head bangin’!
