Thirty years beyond the first golden era of classic 1980s heavy metal, a crop of twenty-something young bands like Enforcer, Skull Fist, Cauldron, and Holy Grail are resurrecting the lost arts of clean singing, flashy guitar solos, and fist-pounding HM melody. At the same time, originators like Judas Priest, Sanctuary, Diamond Head, and Satan continue to forge ahead with veteran power. Is a new glory age of traditional heavy metal coming soon?
