The second of these projects is a brand new, three-track EP, again based in the NWOTHM style and heavily influenced by the NWOBHM movement. The three songs are being rehearsed and honed, with the band aiming to head into the studio soon to begin recording. This EP is very much a tribute to the New Wave of British Heavy Metal movement.
In our latest YouTube video, we explore whether or not the debut is, in fact, still the best Iron Maiden album. The debut is arguably their most influential album because it helped kickstart an entire movement, but many feel they didn't truly "arrive" until Bruce Dickinson joined and they embraced the epic, soaring themes of the mid-80s. Before they became the kings of "galloping" metal, the debut had a gritty, high-speed edge. Tracks like "Prowler" and "Phantom of the Opera" feel dangerous and unpolished in a way that later albums don't. Di'Anno had a "tough guy" aesthetic and a raspy delivery. For many fans, this grounded the band in the New Wave of British Heavy Metal (NWOBHM) scene better than Bruce Dickinson’s operatic style.
In this video we take a look at Diamond Head's NWOBHM masterpiece Lightning to the Nations, and why it wasn't the success it should have been at the time.
We have announced our first two dates for 2026, March 13th supporting NWOBHM legends Trespass in London at the birthplace of Iron Maiden, and our long awaited return to Club85 in Hitchin on May 17th.
Kaine’s performance, supporting NWOBHM legends Desolation Angels, was a success on Saturday night. The event took place at the Cart & Horses (birthplace of Iron Maiden) and was well-attended, despite going up against Manowar on the same night. The feedback from those in attendance has been incredibly positive for both bands. It proves that NWOBHM still has a real and thriving scene in the UK and London.
