(TheBRHM.com) In 1975, Hall of Famers AC/DC dropped a double dose of Australian hard rock. I gave the debut album High Voltage a listen and figured “Well, High Voltage is right there. Might as well.” So, instead of a “Greatest Debut Album,” we’re looking at the 1970s releases and seeing ...
(TheBRHM.com) Welcome to another “Greatest Album Debuts” where we look at debut albums that either caught my attention or are generally beloved. Many of them are albums I checked out when I began listening to metal—such as our featured album 1981’s Too Fast for Love from Mötley Crüe. When it ...

(TheBRHM.com) Let’s get into another classic debut album and see what stands out the most with Holy Diver by Dio. Now, Dio was the solo act of Ronnie James Dio, a powerful lead singer who was known for heading up Ritchie Blackmore’s Rainbow and Black Sabbath. I’d say it was ...
