We all know that England was the birthplace of heavy metal with acts like Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin and Motörhead but what really is the essence of heavy metal music in its purest form for me is the music that came out of The new wave of British heavy metal (commonly abbreviated as NWOBHM) movement that started in the United Kingdom in the late 1970s and achieved international attention by the early 1980s. Journalist Geoff Barton coined the term in a May 1979 issue of the British music newspaper Sounds to describe the emergence of new heavy metal bands in the mid to late 1970s, during the period of punk rock’s decline and the dominance of new wave music. The music that came out during this era was taking the best of 1970s and infusing it with the intensity of punk rock to produce faster and aggressive songs. The DIY attitude of the new metal bands led to the spread of raw-sounding, self-produced recordings and a proliferation of independent record labels. This underground phenomenon was largely ignored by the media but Tommy Vance, a BBC radio host, took notice of the phenomenon and played singles by the new metal bands on his late night Friday Rock Show on BBC Radio 1. Vance’s was the only mainstream radio show to feature songs from underground metal acts, many of whom were invited to play live at BBC studios under the supervision of long-time collaborator and producer, Tony Wilson. These Friday Rock Show sessions are magical and its surprising to hear that many of these bands wrote some of their best songs even before getting a record deal. This massive 4 vinyl set in two separate double gatefold sleeves features recordings made between 1979 and 1982 and listening to bands like Samson, Angel Witch, Saxon, Def Leppard, Angel Witch, Trespass, Tygers Of Pan Tang, Praying Mantis, Diamond Head, Sweet Savage, Raven, More, Girlschool, Vardis and Black Axe from these stages of their careers still gives me goose bumps. This is where my heart is music wise and to just simplify it. This is where music was born.
