Thrash Metal: The Revolution That Changed Heavy Music Forever

Описание: Thrash Metal didn’t just appear — it erupted.
From 1979 to 1986, punk speed collided with heavy metal precision and created one of the loudest revolutions in music history. This episode breaks down the true birth of thrash metal: the NWOBHM spark, the hardcore punk accelerant, the first-wave chaos in L.A. and the Bay Area, and the rise of Exodus, Metallica, Slayer, Anthrax, Megadeth, Overkill, and the German Teutonic Trio.

This is the real story of how thrash metal became a global force — long before the world knew what was coming next.

👉 Part 2 will cover the collapse, rebirth, and why thrash never dies.
