In 1988, Pantera released their first disc with Philip Anselmo, an album called 'Power Metal.'

The last of five albums Black Sabbath recorded with vocalist Tony Martin.

On June 20, 2000, Deftones hit the big time.

Not at all the Pantera that came to be in the '90s, but they had to start somewhere.

Their follow-up to 'The Black Album' arrived five years later. Revisit the story of Metallica's 'Load' album.

On May 24, 1986, AC/DC released 'Who Made Who,' the soundtrack for the Stephen King film 'Maximum Overdrive.'

On April 27, 1979, after various attempts to get Ozzy back on the team, Black Sabbath fired their lead singer.

A major step forward on their first album with Ronnie James Dio.

RIP, Green Man. Today we still mourn the death of Type O Negative frontman Peter Steele.
