Description
The New Wave of British Heavy Metal: A Musical Movement That Changed the World In the late 1970s, a new sound emerged in Britain, one that would go on to shape the course of heavy metal music. This was not the story of punk, but rather a distinct movement that would have far-reaching consequences. The New Wave of British Heavy Metal (NWOBHM) was a musical phenomenon that brought together a group of young bands, independent labels, and a shared vision. From this movement sprang a series of influential bands, including Iron Maiden, Def Leppard, Motorhead, and Judas Priest, who would go on to achieve international success. Their music, characterized by its aggressive sound and iconic imagery, helped to define the genre and pave the way for future developments. This book tells the story of the NWOBHM, its key players, and the events that shaped its rise and fall.
