NWOBHM is the “New Wave of British Heavy Metal” that followed the “The Unholy Trinity of British Heavy Metal” (TUTOBHM? Wait, that can’t be right…) comprised of Black Sabbath, Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin. As stated on a previous episode, the blues were to Zeppelin as NWOBHM is to Metallica, and if you’re even remotely familiar with Metallica (especially those first four albums), then you’re already familiar with NWOBHM.

It’s time to discuss one of the most important acronyms in heavy metal history while ruling out the difference between a black “metal” album and a “black metal” album. What we’re trying to say is that we’re “running out of time” and we really need to get to the “all-you-can-eat-steak-buffet” before you JOIN US for a strange, yet enlightening trip through the brief era in metal known as “THE NWOBHM”.
