It’s that time of the year when the boys get all spiffed up to attend the 2025 Tony Awards! No, not those Tony awards. The ones where we hand out golden pentagrams to bands that wear their denim and leather proudly! What’s old is new again with the re-interpretation of New Wave Of British Heavy Metal known as New Wave Of Traditional Heavy Metal! These are all bands selected for the coveted Tony Award by the man himself: our esteemed Chairman, Mr. Tony Griggs!

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 SHOULD BEs. Taking their cues from music, fashion, and the attitude of 40+ years ago, these younger bands unashamedly bask in a new underground movement of hard rock and metal, poised to make the kids rock and the old-timers smile!

Songs this week include:

1. Venator – “Steal The Night” from PSYCHODROME (2025)
2. Helms Deep – “Frozen Solid” from Chasing The Dragon (2025)
3. Ambush – “Maskirovka” from Evil In All Dimensions (2025)
4. Castle Rat – “WIZARD” from The Beastiary (2025)
5. Power Surge – “Calm Before The Storm” from Shadows Warning (2025)
6. Night Demon – “Curse Of The Damned” from Curse Of The Damned (2015)
7. Haunt – “Extraordinary Life” from Ignite (2025)
8. Black Soul Horde – “Julian Graves” from Symphony Of Chaos (2025)
