New Wave of British Heavy Metal: The Bands of the NWOBHM (1978-1982) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781519376190)

New Wave of British Heavy Metal: The Bands of the NWOBHM (1978-1982), is your ultimate reference source for all of the bands, culture, and history of this exciting time in music history. The New Wave of British Heavy Metal is best remembered for drawing from the heavy metal of the 70s and fusing it with the intensity of punk rock, producing fast and aggressive songs. The DIY attitude of the new metal bands caused the diffusion of raw-sounding self-produced recordings and the proliferation of independent record labels. The song lyrics were usually about typically escapist themes, like mythology, fantasy, horror and rock lifestyle.
