Today, we continue the saga of that little-known troubadour, Tommy Treacle. The Jan 25, 2025 blog post exposed his failed commercial attempts to produce horror film themes in the 1970’s. As the 1980’s matured, the many genres and subgenres of heavy metal music began to morph and multiply at an astonishing rate. Mr. Treacle foundContinue reading ““The SLAYER-er””
