New Wave of British Heavy Metal
Are  you ready to be blistered by the intense heat of pure rock 'n' roll? Don't let the "new wave" in the site's title fool you. Here you'll learn about the British metal bands time forgot while enjoying a walk down metal memory lane. If you're down for Cloven Hoof's immortal "Daughter of Darkness," the brute force of Samson's "Take It Like a Man," or the devilish delights of Geddes Axe and their devilish tune "Six Six Six," then prepare to bang your head! You'll also find an extremely detailed gigs list from the boom years of 1978-83. All the clichés that make metal lovable are represented in full force -- the extraneous umlauts, the fascination with big, bad Satan, and a penchant for copious amounts of leather and hairspray. While the theater and spectacle of metal is often derided, this look back at an era where amplitude knew no bounds will rock your socks off. (in Metal) |
