ALSO was there some special invention in the years of the NWOBHM? Could be music related but doesnt have to, like if someone invented the wheel back then that'd be good enough ofcourse. BUT AGAIN MOSTLY I JUST WANT TO KNOW HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT IT AND WHAT YOU THINK OF HEAVY METAL, are you a metalhead yourself? I'm gonna pretend this is in interview xd WHATS YOUR NAME?
I don't think I could be anything other than a metalhead, being that I filled a metal-centric tumblr queue with 6 posts a day for a couple of years, right? I think that the NWOBHM happened more due to a LACK of invention more than any specific invention. The years prior had seen the early-70s heavy metal bands (Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple) either disband or reach a level of creative stagnation. The punk movement took its place, but punk collapsed in on itself in a few short years (due, in no small part, to media saturation). Simultaneous to this, bluesy hard rock bands were toughening their sound and streamlining their arrangements. Judas Priest, Motorhead, and the offshoots of Deep Purple (Rainbow, Gillan) became the new heroes to a segment of the youth who wanted hard-edged music but didn't relate to the anti-establishment element and image of punk rock. When this youthful segment of the population formed their own bands, holding the influence of their old and new heroes as spirit-guides and taking the lessons of punk rock to heart (brevity and energy), it became evident that the movement was widespread and an audience was eagerly listening. When the media became aware, the movement reached critical mass and the New Wave of British Heavy Metal was born. I go by the pseudonyms MetalNoir668 and rugbern. I am a blogger, a writer, a film enthusiast, an admirer of arts, and an occasional metalhead.
