Ep. 128 - 1983

40 years ago, the L.A Club scene was on the verge of exploding onto the mainstream. Bands like Dokken, Motley Crue and Quiet Riot were getting gobbled up by major label record companies looking to find the next BIG THING while veterans like Judas Priest, Ozzy Osbourne and AC/DC were looking to maintain their relevance.

At the same time, new bands, tired of the hairspray and makeup of the burgeoning glam scene began to make waves in the underground. The rising thrash metal scene that permeated from the Bay Area as well as New York City would give birth to several influential independent record companies that would release the debut albums some of metal biggest names.

If you haven’t guessed by now, we’re referring to the year 1983 and what a year it was. Today, Chris and I are going to talk about some of the events of 1983 and talk about some of the metal albums that had a huge impact on the scene. And at the end, we’ll give you our BIG 4 Albums of 1983. So sit back, relax, turn it up to 11 and let the debate begin.
