Best Heavy Metal Albums Of 1983

Wednesday July 15, 2009
1983 was a very good year for heavy metal. It saw the debut album of Metallica, who would change the face of the genre.

Make sure to post your comment below on the ones I got right and the ones you think should be included on the list for 1983.
