The first special edition of Headbang in 2017... the spinoff is the third installment of the '100 Photos Series'!

Following on from "100 Basic Metal Albums" and "100 Metal Albums of the 21st Century," this time we are focusing on the 13 years from 1967 to 1979, which can be said to be the roots of metal and the eve of its birth, and we are releasing "Headbang Spin-off: 100 Classic Metal Albums"!
Jimi Hendrix, Sabbath, Zeppelin, Purple... 100 classic metal albums. It's a shame to categorize them as "adult rock", and even today they are full of primitive and initial impulses. Here is a thorough explanation of 100 "classics of metal" = "the most basic of hard rock" albums!

Where did the first drop of the 'Metal River' come from? Headbang Spinoff '100 Metal Classics' reveals the answer.
