RYM’s Top Metal Albums Of 1983
What a list for 1983! Everything from Thin Lizzy to Mercyful Fate! The birth of thrash, more darkening of doom, and some great rock classics from Def Leppard and Motley Crue! The further evolution of Iron Maiden, the satanic uprising of Mercyful Fate, and an underrated record from Oz! Heavy riffage from Heavy Load and Satan… and more Motorhead from Motorhead!
