Meet us in the pit this week for a hella good time! We’re getting our aggression by revisiting the starting point of Kevin’s music fandom. The thrash, crossover, and speed metal movement of the 80s spawned his love of all things rock n’ punk n’ metal. We will not be covering the Big 4 of Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth, and Anthrax; but if you love them, then you will love this bunch. How will Robert react to one of our heaviest episodes of all time??? Will he be metal thrashing mad or just plain mad?!?!

What is it that we do here at InObscuria? We exhume obscure Rock n' Punk n' Metal in one of 3 categories: the Lost, the Forgotten, or the Should Have Beens. In this episode, we explore all things mosh-worthy! This is real metal people. All hail the speed and ferocity of Thrash! Our hope is that we turn you on to something new and heavy.

Songs this week include:

1. Nuclear Assault – “Rise From The Ashes”from Survive(1988)
2. D.R.I. – “5 Year Plan” from Crossover (1987) 
3. Stone – “Get Stoned” from Stone (1988)
4. Evile – “Underworld” from Skull (2013)
5. Voivod – “Technocratic Manipulators” from Dimension Hatross (1987)
6. Sacred Reich – “The American Way” from The American Way (1990)
7. No Mercy – “Widespread Bloodshed… Love Runs Red” from Widespread Bloodshed… Love Runs Red (1987)

Dry the pool, dry concrete, brown edged,
And the pool was filled with water out of sunlight,
And the lotos rose, quietly, quietly,
and said shooby dooby doo - er, well, maybe not according to T. S. Eliot, but those aren't the four quartets we're talking about.  Instead, we've got a mix of progressive and nostalgic takes on a jazz combo format as old as time and much, much hipper than "Cats."  Horizons Quartet – HORIZONS QUARTET; Michael Marcus, Joe McPhee, Jay Rosen & Warren Smith - BLUE REALITY QUARTET; Bruce Harris – SOUNDVIEW; Mike Clark and Michael Zilber – MIKE DROP.
