Today's featured metalhead is the one and only Brian Slagel. When I was trying to think of who my next metalhead should be, I remembered the magazines I bought for $1 each at a record store not too long ago. Two of the magazines were called The New Heavy Metal Revue. These were originally printed in California by Brian Slagel, who went on to form Metal Blade Records and release the Metal Massacre compilations. He helped shed light on many bands like Cirith Ungol, Overkill, Ratt, Trauma, Slayer, Metal Church, Voivod, Hallows Eve, Flotsam and Jetsam and of course Metallica. Slagel also traded demo tapes with many people which helped underground bands gain recognition. He was crucial to the rise of many different artists and bands and deserves some respect on this particular Monday. Here's to you Brian.
