Welcome to this weeks episode of Heavy Metal History, we're nearing the end of 1998 and we round out November with a lean and light month of releases. We get a release from a band that only a few years later would change the entire shape of Heavy Metal, a Death Metal force of nature, a Grindcore explosion, A covers album by one of the biggest Heavy Metal bands of all time and a couple of Death Metal releases, one of which we got the information on the making of the record directly from the band!

• Bolt Thrower – “Mercenary”

• Eldritch – “El Nino”

• Pig Destroyer – “Explosions in Ward 6”
