(Playlist) 1990:THE YEAR IN METAL - In 40 Minutes

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!!!
