Ep. 116: Excavation: New Wave Of British Heavy Metal Part II

Episode Summary

This week the lads hop across the pond to do some more excavation of denim and leather… That’s right; it’s all about the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal! The NWOBM movement was filled with passionate bands that were poised to take over the world. Unfortunately, most of them didn’t make it to the level of Iron Maiden, Saxon, or Def Leppard. Hopefully, we can help spread the word and sounds for those that didn’t.

What’s this InObscuria thing? We’re a podcast that exhumes obscure Rock n' Punk n' Metal and puts them in one of 3 categories: the Lost, the Forgotten, or the Should Have Beens. This week we discuss the LOST. For such a small island, they sure had a lot of amazing bands that set the standards for what is known as heavy metal. From the music to the fashion, to the attitude… 40-years ago these bands started an underground movement that would change hard rock and metal forever.

  1. Tank – “Blood, Guts, and Beer” from Fifth Hounds Of Hades (1982)
  2. Baby Tuckoo – “Falling Star” from Force Majeure (1986)
  3. Overdrive – “On The Run” from Jobcentre Rejects - Ultra Rare Nwobhm 1978 - 1982 (2018) 
  4. Vardis – “Love Is Dead” from The World’s Insane (1981)
  5. Rock Goddess – “Satisfied Then Crucified” from Rock Goddess (1983)
