- Music Commentary
The Big 4: That’s really ALL that needs to be said. On this episode, we get into The First 4 of The Big 4 and talk about the 4 albums that birthed a new movement that would change metal forever: THRASH METAL!!! We cover some of the lore with each of the albums, along with some other neat information and factoids about each one, our respective first Big 4 experiences, the tracks, some shared Anthrax commonalities among the Metal Nerdery and the upcoming Billy Milano side project that’s tied to all of this in a Big 4 kinda way.
