I'm gonna jump the bandwagon here and ask for some obscure NWOBHM/Doom recommendations along the lines of these: Early Maiden Cloven Hoof Early Dark Quarterer Brocas Helm Witchfinder General Diamond Head Pagan Altar |

I've been wanting some too. I've heard a lot of Diamond Head recently, and Maiden off your list, but nothing else. So I'll start with your list. |

Saracen - Heroes Saints and Fools Saracen - Vox Excelsis - this is a newer album but is totally amazing. Fans of more modern metal should in theory like this album, it also has plenty of tasty NWOBHM parts. Tokyo Blade - Midnight Rendezvouz, Night of the Blade Savage - Loose N Lethal Praying Mantis - Time Tells No Lies Deep Machine - only demos are available but this is an Angel Witch/Tokyo Blade Super group. Gogmaggog - Another NWOBHM super group with Paul Dianno and other ex Iron Maiden members. Zeus - Spanish NWOBHM get Dama de Hierro, totally fucking awesome Gotham City - Swedish NWOBHM with Anders Zackrisson from Nocturnal Rites Ethel the Frog - Beatles/NWOBHM Incubus - more awesome NWOBHM ala Praying Mantis. Wildfire - Summer Lightning, Paul Mario Day ex Maiden sings for this band. Tygers of Pan Tang - Spellbound Paralex - White Lightning EP Ritual - Black Widow... Etc. Etc. |

Aria is indeed awesome. If you like awesome Russian NWOBHM/Traditional metal then check out Mania as well. |

"Across The Line" is a pretty cool song I've come across from a fairly obscure NWOBHM called Hammer - Album title: Contract With Hell (1985). Plenty of keys and very dreamy delivery from the singer. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-RvX__Fl ... re=related 
MA's comment on the song: Contract With Hell ends with an eight minute detonation of elegance, the slowly spun yet dramatic finale “Across the Line”, one of those strangely epic saddened stirrers that’s lonely in an early ‘80s Whitesnake vibe, cool keyboards coloring it a soft celestial hue while the Glenn Hughes-y vocals of Dog Wilkinson take on an equally rock-anchored Dave Coverdale naturalness - easily a fave track, on the scorched heels of “Caution to the Wind”, sturdy bookends to an album that has a few more tail feathers than its slightly more hardened predecessor. |

That Contract with Hell album is weird. THere's only two real NWOBHM classics on it and those are the songs "Contract with Hell" which is absolutely amazing, and "Prayer for a Soldier" which is also extremely excellent. The rest of the album is a mixture of Van Halen and Whitesnake type rockin.....which is unacceptable for a NWOBHM band. Hammer have the same problem as Wildfire. They have songs that are totally ripping NWOBHM....and then a bunch of pop rockin crap that is in stark contrast to the heavy awesome stuff. Wildfire consequently is the author of what is in my opinion the best NWOBHM song ever written, "Screaming in the Night." If anyone can find it on youtube I suggest you listen to it as it is one of the top heavy metal tracks ever written. |

HT, I remember you introduced me to Angel Witch. Thank you for doing so. I ended up purchasing their s/t. What do you think of Tytan? The band features some Angel Witch members. I think this band rocks something fierce. Rough Justice is one of those CDs that I can listen from start to finish. They have very good production sound for an early 80's release. Vocalist has a bit of bite, and the sound seems quite progressive (keys, heaviness + melody and hooks). The CD might have a bit too much of a commercial sound for some, but highly recommended anyways.

I just discovered a pretty cool NWOBHM tribute band called Roxxcalibur. They just released an album called NWOBHM For Muthas, covering songs from Cloven Hoof, Savage and Witchfinder General to very obscure stuff like Bleak House, JJ's Powerhouse, Radium, Jameson Raid, ARC and so on. Covers are well done and the singer sounds like Hansi Kursch! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jIzBpaAXMvI http://www.myspace.com/roxxcalibur |
