    EP 40: Dokken, Twisted Sister & W.A.S.P. — 40 Years Later
    Nov 4 2025

    This month, we're setting the time circuits to 40 years ago to revisit a monster month for metal: October/November 1985. We’re spinning three classics and putting them to the test:

    • Dokken - Under Lock and Key

    • Twisted Sister - Come Out and Play

    • W.A.S.P. - The Last Command

    Join the debate as we tackle two timeless questions: Is there a connection between long songs and bad songs? And as we hit the peak of '80s metal, we have to ask... when exactly did rock artists start to get soft?

    Tune in and find out which of these albums still holds up and which should have stayed in 1985.
