NWOBHM:
Acronym for “New Wave Of british Heavy Metal”. The NWOBHM took place in the early eighties when Heavy Metal, who had had a bit of a downperiod following the initial success of early Heavy Metal acts such as Black Sabbath and Deep Purple, had a strong revival. With bands like Iron Maiden, Saxon and Judas Priest leading the way, the NWOBHM spawned a virtual explosion of new Heavy Metal and Hard Rock bands, soon spreading well outside the borders of Great Britain. In short; if it hadn't been for the NWOBHM, this home page would almost certainly not have seen the light of day (now wouldn't that be terrible…)
