* - my favorite songs

Songs are great, riffs, vocal, solos....
Violator is great song. Fast,clean,when you heard it you sing it all the time :)
On Victim of love solo opens the song(nice one). The sound of this songs remeber us on late 70's and early 80's.
The concept of whole album is that it sound little soft(like hard rock) when we compare it with Battleaxe or Blitzkrieg.But that isn't bad, cause it's still in style NWOBHM and that is the most important thing here.
Album is nice and worth of listening, so i recommend it to you.

This album is a nice work from (fans) well known band Tygers of Pan Tang. This is their second studio album and it's released just 2 months after first Wild Cat. Really the whole album is very consistent, and the band's reputation as legends of their particulat scene is well deserved.Songs on this albums are great. It's the old school metal as we're used to listen. Nice riffs, guitar solos, whole songs.
There is nothing more to say... I recomend that albums to all fans of NWOBHM, and for people that aren't just try it, mybe you like it thumbup

Battleaxe - Burn This Town(1983.)

These guys had a very clear idea about the kind of music they wanted to play, and they certainly stuck to their guns. Or rather, their battle axe.
Battleaxe are one of those bands whose songs just scream "80's" at every note. This shows clearly on their debut album, Burn This Town, which sports a good number of fast, catchy riffs, reminiscent of the early Saxon albums, rasping hard rock vocals and some truly excellent drum lines, all evenly distributed over ten tracks. One of the strongest points of this album is probably the fact that it never ceases to be interesting throughout its length, in spite of there being very little variation between each song: the relatively short average track length (roughly 3:30) and a finely balanced mix of heaviness and upbeat atmosphere more than make up for the lack of change in mood, tempo and attitude. The production is remarkable considering the year of release: every instrument is easily identifiable, and the guitar somehow manages to never overpower the vocals. Sadly, the dynamics are quite predictable (no noticeable volume changes throughout the whole album), but this album having been released by a newborn label (Music For Nations), we expect the budget available to have been quite limited.
In conclusion, Burn This Town did not add anything new to the already fluorishing 80's metal scene, but it definately succeeded at offering an excellent specimen of pure, untamed Heavy Metal, that is sure to delight the ears of any fan of the 80's british Metal scene.


Dave King - Vocals
Steve Hardy - Guitars
Brian Smith - Bass
Ian Thompson - Drums


Also available through Bernett Records with different cover art.
Re-released in 2005 through Sound King Records with different cover art.

1. Ready To Deliver 03:02

6. Runnin' Outta Time 03:29
7. Battleaxe 03:40

Redizajn, promjene, radi se radi...

Kao što vidite moj blog je doveden u pokusni rok rada, jer radim na nečem jako velikom... Pitam se kakav će odaziv biti na to, al vjerovatno malen pošto sam se uhvatio svojeg najdražeg žanra NWOBHM koji nema baš puno poklonika jer je to old school metal koji ne sluša puno ljudi(ali vrhunski ljubitelji i poznavatelji glazbe da ), al ja sam bio sretan kad sam naletio na još par ljudi kao ja koji se isto trude pa eto i ja krećem njihovim stopama.
Nadam se da ću ćim prije srediti dizajn i izgled pa da mogu konačno preći na recenziranje i informiranje svoje sadašnje(i buduće) čitatelje i ljubitelje ovoga žanra.
Tu ćete moći pronaći albume, bendove, recenzije, moja razmišljanja o njima, a za njihov download ćete me morati mailati.
Eto nadam se da će biti zadovoljnih.
Pozdrav ;)

Vrijeme ide

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

Vrijeme brzo prolazi, uvidio sam da već dugo nisam pisao. Čime sam okupiran...?
Pa eto ispiti stišću, cijele dane se bavim glazbom, faksom i sobom.
Naletih na mnogo bendova koji su mi se svidjeli pa tražim materijale i slušam.
Npr. bend Dervish, slika čiju sam stavio gore iznad, izdali samo taj album, koji je snimljen između 1980 i 1982, a izdan 2001 i to u samo 750 primjeraka. Hvala jednome od njih što mi je uploadao album i dopustio da uživam u njima.
Dalje, Angel Witch, Soldier sa album Heavy metal force, zatim AIIZ, Quartz, Nightwing...
Sve samo zlato među običnim željezom.
Danas sam opet krenuo s treningom kao i prošle godine, trčanje u šumi. Danas je bilo početnih 5 km, za 2 dana se nadam da ću moći krenuti na 10 pa kasnije i na 15 km.
Eto neš sitno od mene tek tolko da znate da sam živ.
Pozdrav

History of NWOBHM
What is NWoBHM?
The early movement was associated with the likes of Angel Witch, Iron Maiden, Tygers of Pan Tang, Def Leppard, Motörhead, Triarchy, Blitzkrieg, Quartz, Sweet Savage, Girlschool, Saxon, Diamond Head, Venom, and Samson, among others. The image of bands such as Saxon (long hair, denim jackets, leather and chains) would later become synonymous with heavy metal as a whole during the 1980s.

Despite the variable success of bands such as Iron Maiden, Saxon, and Def Leppard the true heart of the movement revolved around the seemingly endless supply of British bands playing similar styles at the time. NWOBHM is mostly associated with punk rock aesthetically through the DIY and minimalist ethics of most of the bands, many of whom literally did not last beyond a demo recorded in a bedroom. Looking at most comprehensive lists of bands of the time reveals hundreds of obscure or short lived acts such as Expozer, Jaguar, Mendes Prey, Mithrandir, Twisted Ace, Hellanbach, Zenith, Distrainers, who later changed their name to Alien and Dragster. While the average heavy metal fan would possibly gloss over these no-namers while looking for more recognizable acts, record collectors revere such bands.

The sheer number of low rent demos and 7 inch records of the era (the number is indeed in the thousands), as well as the limited amount of information and media coverage of the genre, has led to most of the releases becoming individual record collecting holy grails.

Records originally pressed for likely less than Ł1 have sold more recently to collectors for hundreds of dollars. In some cases as low as 1 copy of a record is known to exist. Hollow Ground's Warlord 7 inch is probably the most prominent example. Acetates in those days were normally studio master copies kept as backup, so a very limited few of the recording exist. The band is also literally unknown by any standards, as each member is listed on the center label by their first name, and only one newspaper mention of the band playing live has ever been uncovered.

Considering that many further bands possibly did not even last long enough to record their material, it must be taken into account that during the golden years of the genre (1978-1981) upwards of a thousand NWOBHM bands may have existed.
