Nineteen eighty-six could have been the year that death metal broke wide open, but a storm of cancellations, mishaps, and bad luck delayed the U.S. releases, sometimes by years, of completed debut LPs by Repulsion, Necrophagia, Death, Master, Sepultura, Morbid Angel, Slaughter (Canada), and others. Join us as we wade through the raw, deathly wreckage of 1986, and know your Roots!
Retrace the baby steps of death metal and black metal in the massive METALION: The Slayer Mag Diaries, by Jon “Metalion” Kristiansen, with forewords by Ian Christe, Tompa Lindberg, Fenriz, Chris Reifert, Erik Danielsson, and Stephen O’Malley.
