The Dark

Dedicated to the memory of Metallica bassist Cliff Burton, the Seattle outfit's sophomore release bridges the gap between traditional American heavy metal and the burgeoning thrash movement. Driven by David Wayne's searing vocal performance and Kurdt Vanderhoof's punchy guitar riffing, the album achieved significant commercial success through heavy MTV rotation.
