The Decline of Western Civilization: The Metal Years — The 80s Metal Culture That Defined an Era

Chapter 24 in our series of albums WE believe belong in your collection… and this one goes deeper.

We didn’t just listen to the soundtrack — we went back and watched The Decline of Western Civilization: The Metal Years, and it brought everything back. The late 80’s metal scene, the attitude, the excess… it was all there.

Bands like Lizzy Borden, Faster Pussycat, KISS, Odin, Poison, Aerosmith and more — this was a snapshot of a time when metal wasn’t just music, it was a lifestyle, OUR lifestyle.

We talk about the soundtrack, the movie, and our own experiences living through that era… and why this one still hits today.

If you were there — you’ll feel it.
If you weren’t — this is what it was like.

And why you NEED it.
