The Story of Metal Blade Logo
Bang your head to one of the most prolific heavy music labels.
Beyond all the indisputably world-beating titles, the label’s back catalogue is a veritable treasure trove of unsung bands and under-appreciated records. Which is the point of this anthology.

A great series unfolds in episodes

...and the best stories are told in chapters. Formed to release albums from the burgeoning California metal scene in the '80s, Metal Blade, over these last 40 years, has persevered by always staying with the times, capturing the cutting edge of metal as it splintered and evolved into many disparate strands. This Anthology charts the label's deep catalog of the most cutting, powerful metal albums of all time, with eight albums taking you from Metal Blade's scrappy '80s to the chart-topping '10s, with points in-between. Released with a podcast that tells the story of Metal Blade from the label's artists and founder to guide you on this four week journey through these hard-hitting albums.
