Oh damn I forgot Wolf. They're a modern band who make the best NWOBHM this side of Iron Maiden and I'd rather listen to them than Maiden these days tbh. I guess you'd take Maiden's first two grimy albums, throw in a bunch of Mercyful Fate atmosphere and proto-thrash along with vocals also between Maiden and King Diamond, and give it modern-but-not-sterile production, and boom you got a band to blow away just about every trad metal band in history. If retro thrash had bands this good then maybe it wouldn't have been a lame fad.
