Hidden Gems Of NWOBHM

The New Wave of British Heavy Metal suffered the same decline as many other musical movements. Many of the movement’s leaders were unable to follow up on their initial successes. In addition, many bands moved further away from the era towards hard rock, with Def Leppard targeting the American market with a more refined sound and Iron Maiden adopting a more progressive style, but there are some hidden gems of NWOBHM.

In 1980 British record label Logo Records released an album compilation of various obscure NWOBHM bands.
