Metal Health

Quiet Riot

High-octane arena metal that defined the 1983 zeitgeist. Shouted choruses, gritty Sunset Strip riffs, and the first heavy metal record to top the charts.

The album that proved heavy metal could actually conquer the pop charts.

Relentless, celebratory rebellion with an underlying layer of gritty, blue-collar determination.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The iconic four-beat drum intro of the title track that signals an immediate call to arms.
Kevin DuBrow's sandpaper-raw vocal delivery on the Slade cover that out-muscled the original.
The somber shift into the piano-led tribute 'Thunderbird' providing a rare moment of vulnerability.
