#11 March 1987

Welcome to this weeks episode of The Heavy Metal History Podcast.

We move forward to March in 1987.
The Thrash Metal movement continues to shred its way across the decade of the 80’s where Anthrax would produce one of their finest works with their 3rd album “Among the Living” (which we briefly discussed, but not as in depth with Derek Kerswill on episode 5) Overkill would drop their 2nd album that would prove to the world that the band would be a force to be reckoned with for years to come. And the band Pentagram furthers the “Doom Metal” sound pioneered by Black Sabbath on their release “Day of Reckoning”.
 

The albums we discussed:

• Overkill - "Taking Over"

• Pentagram - "Day of Reckoning"

• Anthrax - "Among the Living"
