NWOTHM

New Wave of Traditional Heavy Metal (NWOTHM) is a genre that revitalizes the classic heavy metal sounds of the late 1970s and early 1980s, drawing inspiration from bands like Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, and Saxon. Characterized by galloping riffs, soaring vocals, and anthemic choruses, NWOTHM blends nostalgic elements with modern production, resulting in a powerful and invigorating sound. Emerging in the late 2000s, it has gained a dedicated following, celebrating the timeless appeal of heavy metal's golden era while introducing it to new generations.
