This week the lads hop across the pond to do some more excavation of denim and leather… Well, sort of… While it’s sort of about the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal, we instead visit France, USA, Canada, Japan, and Germany! The NWOBM movement was filled with passionate bands from Great Britain that were poised to take over the world. Most of the A-listers like: Iron Maiden, Saxon, and Def Leppard went on to major success, but bands from around the globe were inspired and aspired to carry the torch of heavy metal in the early 80s. Hopefully, we can help spread the word and sounds for those that didn’t quite make it to the same level.

What’s this InObscuria thing? We’re a podcast that exhumes obscure Rock n' Punk n' Metal and puts them in one of 3 categories: the Lost, the Forgotten, or the Should Have Beens. This week we discuss the LOST. From the music, to the fashion, to the attitude… 40-years ago these bands started an underground movement that would change hard rock and metal globally forever.

Songs this week include:

1. Riot – “Hard Lovin’ Man” from Restless Breed (1982)
2. Trust – “In The Name Of The Race” from Repression (1980)
3. Loudness – “Loudness” from The Birthday Eve (1981) 
4. Manilla Road – “Far Side Of The Sun” from Metal (1982)
5. Exciter – “Heavy Metal Maniac” from Heavy Metal Maniac (1983)
6. Grave Digger – “Heavy Metal Breakdown” from Heavy Metal Breakdown (1984)
7. Cirith Ungol – “Frost And Fire” from Frost And Fire (1981)
