Episode 862: The Pen Is Mightier

Metal Forces magazine, the amazing UK tome, is a fave of ours
from our teens. They covered all the great underground HM,
Thrash/Death and Hardcore outfits. One of their awesome features
was the "Penbangers" section. Basically, the pen pal section
looking for communication with other readers via the written
letter. Some of the ads were pretty entertaining themselves. So
this week we figured we'd read some of them courtesy of the
www.sendbackmystamps.com websites. You'll laugh, you'll cry. You
take a trip down memory lane. In our "News, Views and Tunes", we
discuss the death of Rob Reiner and the "1987 Metal Forces
Readers Poll Results". Musically, we crank some Frank Blackfire
(Sodom), Living Death, Iron Angel, Exorcist, Witchkiller, Zombie
Ritual, Gammacide, House By The Cemetery and introduce Florida's
Living Fast in our "Indie Spotlight" section. Horns Up!
