Week of May 4, 2013
Sat May 4, 6PM ET
Sun May 5, 2PM ET
Tues May 7, 3PM ET
Thurs May 9, 9PM ET
One of the most notorious and fanatical old-school metal scenes in the U.S. is the Old Bridge, NJ, headbanger tribe led by Megaforce Records founders Jon and Marsha Zazula. Spurred into action by the devastation brought on their region by Hurricane Sandy in 2012, the Zazulas have organized a reunion benefit in May 2013 featuring an all-star array of pre-thrash molten metal bands including Anvil, Twisted Sister, the Rods, and Raven. Bloody Roots honors this return of the craziest East Coast metalheads from the crucial salad days of independent metal, with tracks by all of the above plus bands discovered and championed by the Old Bridge massive, including Metallica, Anthrax, TT Quick, Hades, and more. Know your Roots!
