Metal For Muthas - 'Volume 1' [320k MP3]

Metal for Muthas is the name given a heavy metal compilations made during the New Wave of British Heavy Metal. The original compilation was Metal for Muthas (Volume I), released in February 1980. The compilation was a sampling of various better-known artists of NWOBHM, primarily known for having some of the earliest recorded material by heavy metal legends Iron Maiden. The original Metal for Muthas album reached #12 on the British LP charts and became the basis of a tour by the artists who contributed songs to the compilation. Iron Maiden, who headlined the tour, became largely intertwined with the history of Sanctuary Records (whose namesake was the similarly-named Iron Maiden track on the compilation), now a major metal label.
