The MER Partners Top 30 Favorite Debut Albums [ ]

Metal Express Radio partners (Kris, Scott, Stig)

It’s time for the annual Metal Express Radio partners’ meeting in Chicago, which means it’s time for another one of our gargantuan top-something-of-metal shows. This year the three partners, Stig, Scott and Kris, have each selected their favorite 10 debut rock and metal albums. We’ll spin a track from each album and the partners will state their case for why the albums are good, so get ready for some good discussions as well!

Tune in at 21:00 CET/ 3:00 p.m. EST this Saturday to hear the show!
