Release Date: August 2001
At last...the first comprehensive, English-language guide to the revered New Wave Of British Heavy Metal (N.W.O.B.H.M.) phenomenon, revealing the true extent and significance of a musical force which shook a small nation two decades ago, paving the way for a global heavy metal revolution in later years. Discover how, where and why it all started, how Britain's post-punk music scene evolved as a result, and why so few of these aspiring hopefuls became household names while countless small-town wannabes simply disappeared into oblivion. Marvel as over five hundred eventful stories unfold in lurid detail, the individual entries ranging from the genre-busting successes (IRON MAIDEN and DEF LEPPARD) to such esoteric acts as STORMQUEEN and MASTERSTROKE. In each case, informative discographies provide an invaluable, easy-to-use guide for collectors.
Fully illustrated throughout, with unpublished photographs, sleeve reproductions and concert material of the period, and featuring contributions from many of the key musicians themselves, "The N.W.O.B.H.M. Encyclopaedia" is a fascinating, absorbing read for enlightened aficionados and curious newcomers alike.
With rock and metal once again enjoying a massive resurgence in popularity, the vast majority of today's luminaries owe a fundamental debt to these trailblazing pioneers, so let this epic tome transport you to the days when hair was long, guitars were loud and genuinely exhilarating music filled the air... Including an introduction by Jess Cox, founding member of the TYGERS OF PAN TANG, today label manager of NEAT Records, and Paul Dianno, ex-lead singer of IRON MAIDEN.
