NWOBHM - a retrospective

[Ayeka]

Does it have It's Electric on there? That song r00000000000000000lz.

Indeed it does!

 

[JayKeeley]

Anyone heard Legend? I'm just checking samples now...sounds fucking great. Seriously good.

 

[IOfTheStorm]

They are nice. I prefer LEGEND from the u.s.a.. You will probably like their "Songs From The Fjords"

 

[JayKeeley]

So Satan featured Steve Ramsey and Graeme English from Skyclad....I'd quite like to hear "Court in the Act" now.

 

[IOfTheStorm]

buy it. It's great. If you like it very much, go for "Suspendend Sentence" too.

The Best Albums:
1. IRON MAIDEN - s/t
2. ANGEL WITCH - s/t
3. ELIXIR - Son of Odin
.

Has anyone ever seen this Elixir album anywhere? Does anyone have it downloaded? Can anyone rip me a CD-R? Has anyone ever spent time in a Turkish prison? Has anyone ever seen a grown man naked? Roger, Victor.

I still haven't found that Angel Witch for a reasonable price.

Dude - it's $9.79 at cduniverse.com. That's where I got mine from.

Amazing!!!

Working Airplane into this thread is almost as awesome as Court in the Act!

I've read in a couple of different places that Angel Witch had an amazing debut album. I finally heard it and I just don't understand the hype. Maybe it's too dated or I'm to jaded, but it sounds like mediocre uninspired hard rock.

Too be honest I don't like most of NWOBHM. There are sometimes a few good songs on those albums but mainly the whole movement seemed to be mostly full of posers.

Give me Venom any day! Yeah, they're posers too but their evil posturing brought about the Black Metal movement!

 

[Blasphemic Bob]

NWOBHM could also be an hip-hop group, like Niggaz With Ol' Bitchez Having Menstruation.
WHA! WHA! WHA! WHA!

Just in case some of you don't know of this site, lots of NWOBHM stuff info here and mp3s too of some rare stuff. Definitely check out the mp3 section.

The debut? That should still be widely available. I got mine in Virgin a few years back with tonnes of bonus tracks
