    EP 46: 1986 Retrospective: Judas Priest, Keel, & Accept - Do they hold up?
    May 2 2026

    Like we do on every podcast, we are heading back 40 years to a pivotal moment in metal history. It feels like 1986 was the year hard rock was heavily influence of MTV and the sounds of Synthesizers. We dive into three albums that dropped in this era and their shift toward the commercial—and the bands that fought against it.

    The Albums

    • Judas Priest – Turbo

    • Keel – The Final Frontier

    • Accept – Russian Roulette

    SWYW Verdict

    Does the mid-80s "poppy" shift still resonate, or are these records better left in the recycled bin? We discuss the riffs, the production fails, and the tracks that still make us crank the volume in 2026.
