Metal comes to the rescue as most of the world settles into the long months ahead of staying at home to starve the virus. This week’s metal history explores the long-running themes of solitude, loneliness, and isolation in metal music with powerful tracks by Candlemass, Obituary, Black Sabbath, Kreator (pictured above), Testament, Cro-Mags, Amorphis, Confessor, Cathedral, Rotten Sound, Forgotten Tomb, and more. While we’re all alone together…know your Roots!
