#ThursDeath this week is another older, broken up band that I've been digging lately. SLUGATHOR was from Espoo, Uusimaa, Finland, and was active from 1999-2010. They had a few LPs, but I think my favorite of theirs is 'Circle of Death', originally released in 2006 (this is the 2020 reissue). Grueling, cavernous OSDM here like the Finnish can really nail - the likes of which clearly influenced current bands like Degraved. Riffs, growls and dynamics for DAYS on this one.

While MTV's Headbangers Ball was a gateway for many metalheads, Dee Snider pioneered a similar program on the network several years earlier.
