Every band must start somewhere, and this week we trace metal history through the first releases by future titans from the beginning of metal to today. Checking out how numerous legends began, we delve into the inspirational origins and goliath baby steps of Slayer (pictured), Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Sepultura, Napalm Death, Pantera, At the Gates, Behemoth, Lamb of God, Gojira, and more.
