Release date: 26/06/26 Label: Edged Circle Productions Greg D. It seems like something I might’ve said before, so bear with me if so. A lot of what we cover here at The NWOTHM is rooted in looking back. Nothing wrong with that at all. Younger, and/or newer, bands digging older sounds can ONLY look back at what came before them when culling influence. More often than not, the result is like…

Long unavailable, the album will once again be accessible to fans worldwide from the 3rd of July 2026 on CD, DVD and picture vinyl. Originally issued in 1993, “Live”…

EVO formed in the El Clot district of Barcelona in January 1981, becoming one of the earliest heavy metal bands in Catalonia. The first recognised lineup featured Carmen García on vocals, Richard on guitar, Pedro Bruque on bass and Ramón Solà on drums, shaping a sound rooted in classic heavy metal with a later push toward speed and thrash. In 1983 they signed with EMI and recorded the album…

German melancholic heavy metal force THE NIGHT ETERNAL will unveil their long‑awaited Metal Blade debut, “Cold Velvet”, on the 21st of August 2026. Since forming in 2018, the Essen‑based quintet have steadily carved out a formidable reputation, channelling the guitar‑driven energy of the ’70s and ’80s through a darker, more sinister lens. Their acclaimed full‑lengths “Moonlit Cross” (2021) and…

Release Date: Out now! Label: Fighter Records Mark Pruett This old metal dude (me) was around when things in the genre were just heating up. From the beginning, metal has often been associated with evil.  With the dark touch of a wicked thrall, sinister things have been weaving their influence for quite some time. Dedicated artists and fans have donned leather, spikes, and face paint while…

If you live and breathe heavy metal and want to support the bands keeping this genre alive, you’ll fit right in. This site exists because of a small group of dedicated volunteers who care deeply about Nwothm and the artists driving it forward. We’re united by one thing: a genuine love for the…
