Ep. 85: Excavation - Heavy Metal Mix Tape 82-83

What is it we do here at InObscuria? Every show Kevin opens the crypt to exhume and dissect from his personal collection; an artist, album, or collection of tunes from the broad spectrum of rock, punk, and metal. This week we let you hear a very special tape of true Heavy Metal before it splintered into a million sub-genres. These are the bands that carried the hard rock banner out of the 70s into the Heavy Metal 80s! This is true metal that helped push the genre to the mainstream. Our hope is that we turn you on to something new.

Songs this week include:

1. Heavy Pettin’ - “Shout It Out” from Lettin’ Loose (1983)
2. Helix - “Heavy Metal Love” from No Rest For The Wicked (1983)
3. Loudness - “Angel Dust” from Devil Soldier (1982)
4. Vandenberg - “Lost In A City” from Vandenberg (1982)
5. Krokus - “To The Top” from One Vice At A Time (1982)
6. Riot - “Heavy Metal Machine” from Born In America (1983)
7. Raven - “Mind Over Metal” from All For One (1983)
