The New Wave Of British Heavy Metal (rock, album, metallica)

Urban Hat€monger ? · 08-08-2006, 03:52 PM

I figured this might be of some interest to some people on here.

OK so you know about the NWOBHM , you like Iron Maiden & Judas Priest. I know there are people who like Venom , Saxon & Diamond Head that also come here , but how many of the other bands from the time are you aware of?

Digging out some of my obscure stuff for my Britpop thread I came across a compilation album compiled by Metallica`s Lars Ulrich & Kerrang editor of the time Geoff Barton celebrating the 10th anniversary of the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal.
The album came out around the end of 1990 and some of the stuff on it was so rare that a few of the tracks were remastered from Lars & Geoffs own records because the master tapes had long sinced vanished.

Aside from the obvious bands there are a few bands featuring people who would find success later on in other bands. Samson are on there , Bruce Dickinsons old band , as are Sweet Savage , a band put together by future Dio & Def Leppard guitarist Viv Campbell. Tygers Of Pan Tang featured John Sykes who later joined Thin Lizzy & Whitesnake. Finally there`s Iron Maiden guitarist Janick Gers old band White Spirit.

Anyway the full track listing is.....

CD 1

1. Diamond Head - It`s Electric
2. Sweet Savage - Eye Of The Storm
3. Saxon - Motorcycle Man
4. White Spirit - Cheetah
5. Raven - Don`t Need Your Money

7. Def Leppard - Getcha Rocks Off
8. Weapon - Set The Stage Alight

11. Girlschool - Demolition Man
12. Witchfynde - Leaving Nadir
13. A II Z - Treason
14. Witchfinder General - Witchfinder General
15. Black Axe - Red Lights

CD 2

1. Iron Maiden - Sanctuary
2. Jaguar - Back Street Woman
3. Tygers Of Pan Tang - Killers
4. Gaskin - I`m No Fool
5. Sledgehammer - Sledgehammer
6. Venom - Angeldust
7. Angel Witch - Extermination Day
8. Trespass - One Of These Days
9. Holocaust - Death Or Glory

I love ANGEL WITCH and DEMON. Demon's track DON'T BREAK THE CIRCLE is an absolute British classic.

The compilation seems to have a fair mix of heavy metal and thrash with bits of traditional doom sprinkled in.

Doom?
Thrash?

None of these labels even existed when these records were made.
British metal this stuff is , no more no less.

There they were in a pile. A pile of little arms. And I remember... I... I... I cried. I wept like some grandmother. I wanted to tear my teeth out. I didn't know what I wanted to do. And I want to remember it. I never want to forget it. I never want to forget. And then I realized... like I was shot... like I was shot with a diamond... a diamond bullet right through my forehead. And I thought: My God... the genius of that.
