Thrash metal, a genre of music that combines the heaviness and intricate musical structure of heavy metal with the speed and aggression of punk rock, came to prominence in the 1980s. The most well-known band to emerge from that scene is Metallica. But no thrash band has ever even come close to the speed, the intensity, or the sheer craziness of Slayer.

On June 25, 2009 the internet almost crashed. Not just one website, the entire internet. The drug-related death of Michael Jackson wasn't just devastating to the music industry, but to the entire world.
