Despite being a side project of Anthrax’s Scott Ian, Stormtroopers of Death have had a pretty significant legacy in the American hardcore and metal scene. They were one of the first bands to fuse hardcore punk and thrash metal together, garnered pretty significant controversy for their deliberately offensive lyrics, and were credited with popularizing the blast drum beat (which would be a fixture in the genre forevermore) with their song “Milk”. The first song off this album was the lead-in for MTV’s Headbangers Ball for the longest time as well.
Standout Songs: “March of the S.O.D.”, “Chromatic Death”, “Milk”
