Jerome is back with a new episode of Metalstorm. This time around, he examines Metallica’s magnum opus, Master of Puppets. Often hailed by many as one of the greatest metal releases of all time, it also served as the final release to feature bass virtuoso Cliff Burton. 

In the very first episode of Metalstorm, Jerome takes a look at Queensryche’s Operation Mindcrime album. One of the most popular metal albums of the time period, Queensryche’s conceptual landmark mirrors the tumultuous events of the 1980s. Not only does the album hold a mirror to the time period, it also creates a world with complex stories and characters involved in a revolution lead by the mysterious Doctor X.
