The New Wave of British Heavy Metal (NWOBHM) was the most important movement in the history of Heavy Metal. It started around 1977/1978 when Punk lost its credibility and the old heroes like Deep Purple, Black Sabbath or UFO were too much "over the top" for the fans. The biggest names were Iron Maiden, Saxon and Def Leppard, followed by bands like Angel Witch, Girlschool, Raven or Venom. But there were hundreds of other acts which are only know by NWOBHM-collectors today. Exploring the NWOBHM-underground and offering great unknown songs from that era is the playground of ROXXCALIBUR.
