Pop music is plaguing the airwaves, humanity is at a loss and the horned god needs you to bring back heavy metal to its former glory. He needs you to open the Gates of Hell in your own record store so that every man, woman, child, and everything in between is converted into a devoted Heavy Metal disciple.
