Before striking multi-platinum as monstrous MTV metal video stars in 1984, New York’s raucous Twisted Sister mastered its sound, image, and live show as hungry regional club superstars. On early albums, the band absorbed the lessons of Motörhead, Saxon, and Iron Maiden, and delivered a counterpunch to British metal’s dominance. Today we honor forty years of enormous spirit, giant hair, and bare-knuckle S.M.F attitude with rare tracks by Twisted Sister plus an all-star array of tributes by Motörhead, Cradle of Filth, Sabaton, Entombed, Hammerfall, Vision of Disorder, Broken Hope, and more. Know your Roots!
