Metal playlists from the underground
It has been a really long time since Long Island experienced a real heavy metal show. In fact, it is flat-out embarrassing and insulting to the fans and bands that it has been this long. Thanks to the demonic forces of the dark lord, Long Island was the place to be on Friday night when […]
How can this live album possibly fail? Rust In Peace is one of the top 10 greatest heavy metal albums of all time.
