Meltdown’s June Music Challenge – Heaviest Albums

I love a good heavy, album. I thought that getting older would soften me up, just the opposite. I'll be honest, I was never much of a Slayer fan. Now I own two of their albums and am always looking for more. This record is just a masterpiece. SLAYER!!!

While I'm at it, I might as well stay in that world with this thrash classic. Megadeth's Rust In Peace turns 30 this fall. I played songs off of this at the beginning of my career. I've become friends with David Ellefson (great guy) and recently helped them out a little for a future project. Another band I need more vinyl from. 

And Justice For All is also on of my faves from this category. I'm trying not to use the same album more than once in this challenge, or I could've put Master or Ride in here, too. 

What are some of your favorite heavy albums? #MeltdownsJMC
