 Anno Domini 1986: a year when music history was written. For many a cornerstone of the metal phenomenon, Master of Puppets seduces and intrigues fans of the genres. It is incredible how Metallica, after the anarchic Kill'em All and...

 It wasn’t easy to release an album in 1986, and this was not because of the senior CPU “three-eight-six” that gave Pacman a totally different flavor. Quite simply, that year, in addition to Chernobyl, the dam broke...

 Another genre-defining album: doom metal. Saint Vitus is a doom metal band from Los Angeles, California. In fact, it is rather insulting to call them just “a band”, because Saint Vitus was one of the first bands of doom...

 While the release of Defenders of the Faith was an important milestone for the history of metal, I personally see it as a rather “handicapped” album, loaded with incredibly good songs and, well, less-inspired ones.  ...

 A record sounding like Great White, undoubtedly, but a less refined sound than what the boys would play just a few years later during their “glory” years. The quotation marks are only for Romanian readers, as I think...

 In the mid-80s, Romanian television broadcasted a show called “Masked and unmasked”, where stars (Romanian of course) would appear on the stage, first disguised in various skits, and then in the second part they would remove their...

 Black Flag is without any doubt one of the most important hardcore punk bands of all times, probably the most important. And when I say this I am not trying to belittle the Dead Kennedys, Agnostic Front or Cro-Mags. Black Flag were the right...
