In 1984 the writing was on the wall. The big bands had already "made it" and it looked pretty bleak if one was expecting a lesser outfit to rise above with a hit record. Over here in the US, the Sunset Strip bands were making it and Thrash was really beginning to make waves though Kerrang hated the hell out of a lot of it in reviews. in 1985 it was all over. Personally, with the exception of Iron Maiden i went straight into Thrash and beyond. Last NWOBHM record i picked up during that time was Grim Reaper's Fear No Evil.

Funny, the last album you mentioned, I had. I had the cassette in my walkman waiting around my church for our youth group meeting to start. My priest, Father Michael, asked what I was listening to, just out of curiosity. I slowly said "Uuuhhh...Grim Reaper...Rock You To Hell...". Always the cool, young priest, he told me to pop the tape in the stereo in his office. As he bobbed his head to the beat, he said "When I was young, grownups we're terrified of their kids listened to Jefferson Airplane, Janis Joplin, The Doors, and stuff like that. It doesn't do any good to freak out and ban music, because that will drive the kids away, deeper into the counter culture." I think that between my parents, and Father Michael, I was pretty fortunate.

This is actually a very good summary of the NWOBHM movement. A few things I wanna add: - Tommy Vance's Friday Rock Show used to play a lot of Progressive Rock in its first year, by 1980 it was taken over by Heavy Metal/Hard Rock. - First ever NWoBHM single is Samson's 'Telephone', a self-produced single which charted in that Neal Kay HM charts in late 1978 (Clive Burr on drums!) - I'd say NWoBHM happened between '79-'82 and 1983 was the year it started to fade away. Classic Rock magazine did a nwobhm special issue a few years ago and most musicians agreed that by the end of 1983 it was over.

Being an American, in the late 1970s, I was reading Creem and Circus magazines for articles on hard rock bands (too bad I didn't know about Sounds magazine at that time). By 1979, one of those magazines featured an "Is Heavy Metal Dead?" issue. I read the article and thought, NO WAY! At that time we had Van Halen, AC/DC, Scorpions, Rainbow, Judas Priest, etc... Even though punk, disco, and new wave were big at that time, I had no doubt that hard rock/heavy metal was going to live on. Then in 1980, there was an article in one of those magazines I was reading, and it featured a new heavy metal scene happening in England. I saw the names Saxon, Iron Maiden, and Def Leppard. OK, then with the releases of 3 BIG albums in 1980, "Heaven and Hell," "Back in Black," and "British Steel," plus that article I read, plus I got hold of a cassette tape in my high school (in New York) featuring NWOBHM bands (man, I wish I still had it), I was most certainly a NWOBHM fan in the year 1980. I bought Iron Maiden's debut album and got my friends into it. Eventually, there was record shop I went to that had import records, patches, pins, etc... and to top it off in 1981, my friends and I made the trek from Queens to Manhattan to see Iron Maiden open for Judas Priest in July 1981. I remember seeing a girl standing in line outside the venue wearing an "On Through the Night" t-shirt and said I want that! It was all such an experience to be young at that pivotal time (late 1970s/early 1980s), coming from Aerosmith, KISS, Boston, Ted Nugent, and Rainbow, straight head-on into the burgeoning NWOBHM scene, that catapulted heavy metal into the 1980s. I couldn't find an Iron Maiden shirt in 1980, so I went to a mall and had one made up on a raglan shirt: it had "Iron Maiden" on the front and "Heavy Metal Rules" on the back (I don't have this shirt anymore). So, in 1979, things were coming apart with Aerosmith (no Joe Perry), KISS (disco?), and Black Sabbath (no Ozzy), but it didn't take long for my spirits to perk up in 1980.

Tytan’s Rough Justice was recorded in 1982 at the peak, but was only released in 1985 after the band had split! (Reformed in 2012 and we’re still playing live and writing) because record companies went bankrupt. This happened to a lot of nwobhm bands so release date chronology doesn’t always represent where the bands were active. Band’s like Tytan were gigging a lot and appearing on Radio 1s Friday Rock Show where many fans recorded bootleg cassettes that became as important as official releases.

One more incredibly significant 1980 release was the album Axe Attack. Metal for Muthers was a small scale release, Axe Attack was by K-Tel and had prime time TV commercials for it on National TV. Another long forgotten thing was the Heavy Metal Box. A square cardboard box the size of 45" singles. It was decorated heavy metal style and had about 50 Metal singles in it. It was designed to sit on the counter of every record shop. So when people went the the counter they saw it. In it was not the latest metal singles but instead classics from the last decade. This encouraged loads of kids who had gone in to buy a pop single to buy a classic metal one out of curiosity.

My brother had Axe Attack. I can't remember much that was on it. Cat Scratch Fever by Ted Nugent, I remember. My first metal lp was a compilation called Heavy with Iron Maiden, Rush and Motorhead, among other, actually less heavy songs (like Rocky Mountain Way by Joe Walsh out of The Eagles???). It was advertised on TV with the slogan 'Your mother won't like it - but you will'! In truth, I only liked about half of it. Evidenced to this day by the fact that, because I was 13 or something, I took a bic biro and put either a tick, a cross, or 'ok' next to every song on the back cover. Meatloaf's Bat Out Of Hell had a cross next to it and Journey's Don't Stop Believin' (on an album called Heavy!) had ok next to it. I'm not sorry. In The Heat Of The Night was on it, as well (✔️).

I was born in 1961 and have beed buying albums since 1970, wih the money I got to go to the local fairground attraction which arrived at our village twice a year. You know, bumper cars and BB shooting stands and all that. At first I was into bands like Slade and Sweet, buying their singles (45rpm vinyl recordings) but ever since I heard the announcement of Deep Purple's new record in early 1972, "Machine Head" I knew what I liked and I switched from singles to albums. The term "Heavy Metal" didn't come on our radar until indeed 1977 with the release of Priest's "Sin After Sin" album. Because that album was different. I did security jobs at gigs ever since 1979 and was at the 1980, 81, 82 and 1983 Reading Festival concerts, so, I was right in the middle of the NWOBHM movement, without knowing it at the time. I saw bands at some of their first gigs. Bands like Iron Maiden, Saxon, Def Leppard, Angelwitch, Diamond Head, Girlschool, Tygers Of Pan Tang, Holocaust, Quartz, Raven, Vardis, Budgie, Weappon, Praying Mantis, etc. At the time, in the early seventies, we didn't call Black Sabbath or Deep Purple's music heavy metal. We called it hard rock. I've seen a few thousands of bands over the last 40 years or so, and only a handfull would to me get the moniker of "heavy metal band". Most of them are "just" hard rock bands. But you are probaly too young to understand the difference, eh? You have to have lived through the era to truly understand...

As a 65yr old I enjoyed this trip down memory lane. So many wonderful Album covers (Saxon would have the hoard at their door with pitchforks for the “Innocence “ cover now) admittedly not in the same league as the Blind Faith cover, but can you imagine that today.. Just an opinion but Girls School we’re simply dreadful. A bit like decaffeinated coffee.

Great job, as always! One minor point is that Carrere were not a rock label. They did put out a varied bunch of stuff before Saxon but it was generally a mixture of French artists, pop, jazz and disco. Back in the day, it was quite common for bands on tour to have label-mates as support bands, which could have seen Biff and the boys on tour supported by Sacha Distel and La Belle Epoque!

I own all but the singles from Rush on the chart that you showed at 3:48. KZOK was the hard rock/metal station of Seattle in the late '70s-'82 when they began their transition to classic rock while KISW carried the flag for metal (even though they played a lot of grunge) through the 2000s. That chart shows how I went from hard rock and guitar rock to metal and thrash.

Witchfynde, Samson, AIIZ, Money , Trespass, Handsome Beasts, Split Beaver, Crucifixion, Axe ( Fist) , Demon, Dark Star, Sledgehammer. Some great bands from Sweden from the same era , but only 1 band was great enough to be both NWOBHM and NWOSHM ,and that incredible band was the one and only EF Band, Mythra, and Paralex all should have been as big as Def Leppard, and Iron Maiden. This video was phenomenal, almost as good as the History of Swedish Metal. Nothing ever will be as good as the History of Swedish Metal by anyone
