NWOBHM

[rms]

appreciate it, got a few on eBay auctions and whatnot. Gotta get that Diamond Head, fan of the Metallica covers but never got around to listening to them

 

[rms]

all right good shit...sucks that most of these aren't recently/easily found reissued and not easy to find. Here's a list of what I should get; any comments/adds etc?

Cloven Hoof - Cloven Hoof
Witchfynde - Give 'Em Hell
Aragorn - Noonday Anthology
Saracen - Heroes, Saints, & Fools
Trespass - Trespass Anthology
Samson - Head On
White Spirit - White Spirit
Jaguar - Power Games
Angel Witch - Screamin' and Bleedin'
Avenger - Too Wild To Tame - The Anthology (it's basically their entire excellent discog)
Savage - Let it Loose
Legend - Death in the Nursery / S/t
PRAYING MANTIS Time Tells No Lies
TOKYO BLADE MIDNIGHT RONDEZVOUS

sledgehammer - blood on their hands (exceptional and ridiculously underheard/underrated)
holocaust - the nightcomers (another obvious classic)
voltz - knight's fall (really unusual)
dark heart - shadows of the night (also deserve more exposure imo, classy stuff)
jaguar - power gamesmore - warhead
savage - loose 'n' lethal (someone mentioned this earlier under the incorrect title 'let it loose', which is actually the name of the first song on here)
chariot - the warrior
blade runner - hunted

oh this isn't really metal but Wishbone Ash - Argus

 

[no country for old wainds]

yeah, not metal but a major influence on NWOBHM. i think the first 3 wishbone ash albums are all at a similar level of quality

bumping for any other possible recs.

 

[VelociBrad]

Preyer - Terminator
Blackmayne - Blackmayne
Bitches Sin - Predator
Quartz - Stand Up and Fight
Tytan - Rough Justice
Trojan - Chasing the Storm
Glory Bells - Dressed in Black & Century Rendezvous
Battleaxe - Burn This Town
Witchfynde - Give 'Em Hell & Cloak and Dagger
Girlschool - Demolition
Satanic Rites - Which Way the Wind Blows

 

[SentinelSlain]

Virtue - Stand to Fight
Blood Money - Red, Raw and Bleeding
Chariot - The Warrior
Streetfighter - Crazy Dream
Tyga Myra - Deliverance
Blade Runner - Warriors of Rock
Chateaux - Chained and Desperate
Dealer - First Strike
Destroyer - Evil Place (this single surely influenced Metallica, vocally. It's much more like their album vocals than that demo they did with Diamond head like vocals.
Tank - Honour & Blood ( I think it's their best)

basically, go through the Neat, Heavy Metal, Ebony (they were based in my town for a while) back catalogues. They're all on the corroseum, if you frequent that site.

 

[mutantllama]

alright, gotta make a text file out of all the stuff in this thread.

 

[VelociBrad]

totally forgot about Tank. make sure to get Tank - Filth Hounds of Hades too.
