Actually, this type of metal is my fave. i like classic metal of all forms, Twisted Sister holding the crown. But the New Wave of Traditional Metal that's happening right now warms my soul.

 

[Mr. Zane of HW]

Oh, BTw, if I understand correctly, that guy on Metalucifer's albums is not in the band at all, but a living mascot of sorts. He is a rabid metal fan they put on the covers.

Check out High Spirits too...

 

[Jasonic]

I know most of you hate doom (But then again you all hated folk metal until Glen booked some, right???), but the new Gates of Slumber moves into even more of a traditional metal approach.

 

[TychoCelchu]

I had no idea this movement was going on. Will check some of these groups out.

 

[Diabolik]

Check out High Spirits too...

Love High Spirits.....the 2 demo cd's are really good.

 

[Jasonic]

Every sub genre has a "movement" (IE - doom, stoner, trad, thrash, etc)

I am all for it, as long as it is done well.

For those discovering trad / NWOBHM for the first time through the newer bands, do yourself a favor and look into the classics as well!!! This is one subgenre that probably has the most undiscovered gems (Considering so many released only demos or 7" singles)

Metal Haven has a HIGH SPIRITS 12"

A lot of the newer bands don't bring anything new to the genre. Its a shame. There's so much that can be done in this realm.

Isn't this Hunter from Twisted Tower Dire's doom band?
They have been on my "bands to check out" list for a while.

While I agree with you, I don't mind something unoriginal, if it is done well.
(IE - Dream Evil, Wolf, etc....)

I think that at times there is a blurring between the lines of good traditional metal and good traditional doom metal. They both share a common proto-metal bond that isn't seen in the more extreme genres of heavy metal.

Agreed 100%

For a long time, I didn't check out Pagan Altar and Witchfinder General, because they were labeled as both NWOBHM and Doom, and this was before I was more heavily into doom, so I thought I wouldn't like them. Boy was I wrong!!!!

I suppose if Black Sabbath are the first true heavy metal band, then it is inevitable that a little doom flavoring will be present in trad metal bands, right?

That's a bizarre way to put it, since he's just a background member of WHW. But yes, check them out as soon as you get the chance.

Yeah, WHW is Tom and whoever isn't mad at him. (Most of Brave, right now, actually.) Brilliant disc from what I've heard of it so far.

 

[Jasonic]

What the hell is meant by a "Background" member?

Kind of the couple of clowns SlipKnot has to bang the garbage cans?

If so, I want that job!!!

Ram.....mix of traditional and NWOBHM. they have a new one coming out soon.

The new RAM ("Lightbringer") is freakin' awesome!!!

[edgeofthorns]

I like some of the "new bands" playing traditional metal, but Wolf is the best in my opinion.

[AeonicSlumber]

I just spun the new disc by this band Ravage. Metal Blade just signed them and is putting out the CD, and it's pretty good stuff in this vain. Slough Feg and Cauldron are also killer!

I cant wait to get this. I have read nothing but great things about it.

I'm having a hard time describing it as anything but PURE HEAVY METAL, as there are so many cool elements in it.

I hear some King Diamond/Mercyful Fate, some Helstar, some Accept, some Anthem, some Maiden/Priest and especially some old Omen.
