The 5: Most Important Songs in Metal by Eddie Trunk
We asked special guest Eddie Trunk to write our 5 for this week– The Most Important Songs to Heavy Metal. It’s pretty self explanatory. Here are his picks.
- Black Sabbath, Black Sabbath: The inventors of metal. Embodies all that is metal.
- Judas Priest, Victim of Changes (live): After Sabbath, the most important metal band ever.
- Iron Maiden, Hallowed Be Thy Name: So many from Number of the Beast, but this is definitive.
- Metallica, Master of Puppets: Crossed thrash to radio mainstream.
- Deep Purple, Child in Time: One of the most criminally overlooked bands in America. The blueprint for metal. Ian Gillian’s screams are beyond belief.
