ABOUT: This channel is dedicated to heavy metal from former Eastern Bloc countries (including Yugoslavia) in years 1980-1995. Let's dive back to the times when the globe was divided into two separate worlds by infamous Iron Curtain and where despite the omnipresent threat of possible persecution or even inprisonment young musicians did not hesitate.
OPINION: As a fan of and on a never ending mission to find obscure 1980’s (and early 1990’s metal) from all over the world, this YouTube channel is a goldmine when it comes to the former eastern bloc. Playlists from Romania, Eastern Germany, Soviet Union, Yugoslavia, Hungary etc. etc. makes for hours of amazing listening pleasure. Over 1500 videos will last you a long time! The structure of the channel is also great with a separate playlist from each country, that he for some reason has put under podcasts!?

Listen to Polish Heavy Metal masterpieces like Pokolgép, Chech Black Metal masters, Root. New to this? ... why not start with Soviet Unions Iron Maiden, Aria.
