In 1978,the then Sounds journalist Geoff Barton coined the tag line
'New Wave Of British Heavy Metal' to describe the burgeoning rock scene
in the UK.Three bands in particular stood out - Iron Maiden,Def Leppard
and Saxon.These three giants lead the assault with bands such as Girlschool,
Tygers Of Pan Tang and Samson acting as foot soldiers.
These are the first lines you will read in the booklet of this album.
Some of you..or the majority of you loved this era..with all the mentioned
bands and others like Angelwitch,Diamond Head etc.now almost 25 years later
there are still bands from that era that try to ressurect this lost feeling.
So...in this album, you will find The Tygers Of Pan Tang,recently reformed
after a period of inactivity,and Girlschool that agreed to contribute songs to the album,
which will feature the first new studio recordings from Oliver/Dawson Saxon since
Saxon split in 1995.
So this is the second wave of BHM.Olive/Dawson Saxon and the Tygers are recording
new albums and Girlschool have allready released their new one.
So this album includes 5 songs of O/D Saxon,5 of Tygers and 5 of Girlschool!
Buy Or DIE!!!!
