TIME FLIES: THE KLASSIKS THAT TURN 30 IN 2022


Continuing my travel back in time. This turned to be a regular publication over the last years on the blog. In 1992 I witnessed some fantastic metal releases that I randomly listed below. Some of them became one of the greatest albums ever released. 

Back then I was a teenager and I was digging into the genre to the best I could, discovering bands after bands, and albums after albums, as many as were available on the local pirate market...Great times that I'll always remember. I got my first CD audio player, first OP t-shirts, got in high school, and yes - all the parties began. Life was absolutely careless...

If we just think for a moment, in 1992 albums like The Number of the Beast, Black Metal, Screaming for Vengeance, Saints and Sinner, Restless and Wild, Blackout, Combat Rock etc, they all turn 40!!!

So let's go 30 years back in time now. 44 listed and lots of mandatory honorable mentions. 44 that stayed a lot with me and all honorable mentions that I often return to and listen to with great pleasure...All mandatory klassiks! What do you say?
