New Wave of British Heavy Metal Essentials
Playlist - 100 Songs
The New Wave of British Heavy Metal featured diverse bands that married early-'70s metal to punk's need for speed. Where Iron Maiden's galloping surge and operatic drama represent NWOBHM at its most refined, Motörhead's bass-powered thump is oppressively primitive. In another unique take, Witchfinder General presaged doom with their downtuned snarl and horror-flick imagery.
