Onto 1982 we go. While the NWOBHM was running out of steam, many of the hard rock and metal legacy bands stepped up with great records that year to fill the void. And let's not forget the birth of a sub-genre (d-beat) that year, the naming of another (black metal) ... and the release of one of the first true doom metal records.

You've got to have a heart of stone not to love the year in heavy that was 1982!
