Oh yeah! A subject I know something about!
Anyone remember a band called Witchcross? They never made it to cd, but you can still pick up the vinyl copy here and there. That singer from Wolf reminds me of Witchcross's singer, especially in the song Evil Star.
How about another band that never made it to cd; 3rd Stage Alert, produced by Yngwie Malmsteen. (Okay, this technically isn't NWOBHM, but same time period)
Other (somehwat) rare but valuable gems for me:
Demon - Unexpected Guest, Night of the Demon, The Plague
Picture - Diamond Dreamer, Eternal Dark
FIST - Thunder in Rock
Mama's Boys - Turn It Up
Quartz - Against All Odds
Raven - All For One
Tygers of Pan Tang - Spellbound
Witchfinder General - Friends of Hell
Rock Goddess - Hell Hath No Fury
Grim Reaper - See You in Hell
TNT - Knights of New Thunder

Definately Witchfinder General....definately.
Tokyo Blade had a very up and down history but had one fantastic old-school record called Night Of The Blade. I still listen to that.

Not really NWOBHM bands, are they ? Picture is from Holland and TNT is Scandinavian (Norway if I'm correct)...
Heya, don't forget LEGEND, they were about the first band that made some very good metal with Folk influences. Beats Wuthering Heights in any way !! Their albums were re-released on CD a while ago.

Legend. Yeah, I heard these guys for the first time recently. They never (apparently) really got off the island where they hail from....but I was blown away by there stuff. They have a new album out too, and it's old-school.....but updated. Good stuff. Real good.

Indeed, but I have been thinking about the subject a lot and especially today while hearing H Bomb. They are French but their music was a lot what bands where playing at the same time in England. So if technically NWOBHM apllies to British bands, some bands outside UK played the same type of music (also called traditional heavy metal in some sites :Smug: ) during the same years (roughly 1980-85).carnut said:
Ansd since somebody unleashed Griffin, I have no bands to post

Yeah, I had a hard time with this when I was compiling that short list. If you ONLY count the bands that were actually from England, it would be a much shorter list to choose from. I mean, Raven was from Germany, Mama's Boys from Ireland, but they are still considered NWOBHM. To me, any band playing that style of metal that came from Europe should be considered NWOBHM.
In which case I could've added a bunch more bands like 220 Volt, Pretty Maids, Europe, etc etc.

This band called Legend is folk metal? Someone said "better than Wuthering Heights". This I need to check out. What are some album names, links, or mp3 samples?
Here's a link to their official website. They just recently got back together to make another record, and lo and behold, they are still pretty damned good. Very much "classic" stuff; riffage and whatnot. Some downloads there of the new stuff - streams of old stuff. Beware, the production on the old stuff is sub-par, but everybody I ever knew who liked them agreed that their stuff was good enough to overcome that. You'll see what I mean....

Thanks Wiz, appreciate the direct linkage. Listening to song samples now. It's good, but the sound samples suck so bad it's hard to tell. They have a bit of early prog to them sometimes, and I like that.
But where's the folk influences Carnut was speaking of? There were some mellow interludes and such, but nothing really "folk".
Certainly couldn't see where he could compare it with Wuthering Heights in that category.

You can download Eden Massacre there. New, but full song and good. Just cool to hear some old-school from an old-school band. It doesn't really cover the folky stuff though.
