1990 : THE YEAR IN HEAVY

We continue our 'The Year In Metal" series moving into the 90s ... not a great decade for the fortunes of heavy metal. This 1990 playlist represents thrash metal's decline, loosening the grip it had on the metal landscape over the previous 5 years or so. Here you'll find a diverse selection of loud sub-genres represented: from thrash to death to trad metal to hard rock ... and even melodic punk. It may be grunge outside, but it's all metal inside!!!
