On another hand interest in the nwobhm is getting stronger year after year, and this is worldwide interest. Saxon just headlined the Bloddstock festival 2 days ago with success. Having said that, not a single nwobhm band would have stayed alive to this day if the market was limited to the UK (Saxon,Raven, Holocaust, Blitzkrieg,...), they all depend on abroad tours and record sales.
I think Holocaust is now more well known as they were back then when they released The Nightcomers.
: I'm totally with you on everything you say here
: about Malcome Dome and the likes off. It's
: really sad that ass holes like him used this
: type of music to get their job in the first
: place. For example that guy who runs Kerrang
: now used to puff and blow about the Nwobhm
: back in the days when I was wee, and now he
: see's that sort of music as out of date. Phil
: Alexander I believe he was called. I remember
: reading A book I have called the
: "Encyclopedia of Metallica" which
: was published before Metallica existed. Phil
: Alexander (certainly not the great)wrote this
: . In this book it showed the origins of heavy
: metal and took you right up to the NWOBHM
: where it finished off describing how unique
: and original the movement was and how all the
: bands happened to be around at the same time
: spreading a varity of styles. For some reason
: something happened and the media decided that
: NWOBHM was not to be the new "in
: thing" and since 1983 NWOBHM has been
: laughed at and ridiculed which includes all
: the bands associated (That means Holocaust).
: Now any mention in any British mag of Nwobhm
: provokes laughter and abuse. In other words
: like the Big Mortimer said, because its not
: fashionable to the press then it will suffer.
: But really metal has never been fashionable
: as far as I can see cause even it seems when
: it was covered by the media more in the 80's
: it still was scoffed at and dusted under the
: carpet. Malcome Dome, Phil Alexander and
: those in the seats of power (the magazines)
: will always determine what others are going
: to think and it is they who change whats hot
: and whats not. They are the truly evil ones
: in their corrupt abused positions. We are at
: war with them, they spread the lies and dirt
: and infiltrate the weak with their very own
: opinions. By doing this they basicaly say
: something is good, and people agree, or
: something is bad and the sheep agree again
: because they write in magazines and obviously
: must know what they are talking about. People
: can't form their own opinions (there's them
: word's again)with these blasphemers about,
: partly because alot of people are not as
: strong as the rest of us.
: However if we unite we will take them all.
: Spread the word.
