This Week In ‘Hard & Metal Throwback’ 04/52
Megadeth’s "In My Darkest Hour" channels heartbreak and grief with haunting guitar work and raw lyricism, while Judas Priest’s thundering "Painkiller" delivers unrelenting speed-metal power. Metallica’s "Master of Puppets" blends rebellion and precision, reaching iconic status after its *Stranger Things* resurgence. Alice in Chains’ "Man in the Box" pairs chilling riffs with primal vocals, embodying grunge’s dark edge. Sepultura’s "Amen" confronts religious fanaticism with ferocious resistance, while L7’s "Wargasm" merges distortion and rebellion. Van Halen’s swagger-filled "Runnin’ with the Devil" exudes late-’70s grit, and Bon Jovi’s "Wanted Dead or Alive" crafts a cinematic outlaw anthem. Napalm Death’s "Hierarchies" mixes melody with grindcore chaos, and Living Colour’s "Desperate People" tackles addiction with sharp, rhythmic intensity.
