At the dawn of the 1980s, a bustling cabal of DIY British metal bands combined the energy of punk and the bombast of heavy metal, saving metallic music under the banner of the New Wave of British of Heavy Metal, or NWOBHM. Thirty years later, many of those young lions remain active elders in the heavy music scene. Join host Ian Christe (“Sound of the Beast”, Bazillion Points Books) for a recap of very recent releases by founding fathers like Saxon, Venom, Angel Witch, Satan, Raven, Iron Maiden, and more! Know your Roots!
