PostSubject: NWOBM Bands seeking opinions on these bands.   Mon Oct 27, 2008 1:52 pm
Read an article in Classic Rock Magazine regarding NWOBM, and the following bands I was unfamiliar with, Bitch's Sin, Blind Illusion, Satan, Demon, Avenger and Tygers of Pang Tang (only thing I know is John Sykes was once in this band). I trust the board members opinions and was wondering has anyone ever heard of any of these bands and what is your opinion on them and any recommendations. Thanks.

Satan are a great band. Their band name is an unfortunate choice as it basically turned a lot of potential listeners off. They wisely chose to change their name.

Blind Illusion features most of the members of Satan, if I remember correctly. I think Blind Illusion also had many of the members of Angel Witch. I have the Blind Illusion CD and enjoy it quite a bit. If you enjoy bands like Diamond Head and Blitzkrieg you should enjoy Blind Illusion. Also check out Pariah, which is the speed metal band many of the Blind Illusion and Satan members formed.

Some of the Satan members later turned up in Skyclad.

Tygers of Pan Tang rule! One of those bands like Riot, TT Quick and Sword that never rose above the pack but really should have. Yes, John Sykes was in Tygers for a spell. Again, if you like bands like Diamond Head, early Def Leppard, etc you should dig Tygers of Pan Tang.

I'm totally unfamiliar with Demon's music.

Thanks for the info and the recommendations I will seek these albums, hopefully they have been released on CD.

Blind Illusion is awesome and not to be missed, along with Tygers Of Pan Tang (one of my favorites from any genre) and Satan.

Demon is pretty terrible though, I tried about 3 of their albums and couldnt get into any of it.

Read reviews on Avenger and Tygers of Pang Tang on Ni Life til Metal, gave me a good idea what the albums sound like, thanks Ult and Deathcult for your input.

I suggest picking up Spellbound as your first Tygers album.

for a short time, however Satan must sell as they are still called Satan.

I guess there would be no real way to track it, but it would be interesting to see the amout of people turned off by a band named Satan as opposed to the number of people attracted to a band simply because of the name. Sort of like when they 1st put parental warning stickers on albums. Or Smuckers Jelly.

"With a name like Satan, they must be good"

the name Satan for a band sounds silly, I am not talking about their music just the name. To me if it sounds like a name a Hollywood film would use to name a band that was spoofing the genre.

I see what your saying, Manny, but ya gotta get Sherman to set the Wayback Machine to 1979 when these guys were new to the scene. The thought of "spoofing" heavy metal wasn't even a thought in Meathead's bald head at that time. Naming your band after the dude with the Golden Fiddle that like to challenge country rubes was probably the scariest thing you could do. Certainly scarier than a hearing-impaired leopard.

Wild Cat's my second favorite, two awesome albums along with Crazy Nights. The reason I suggest Spellbound is because that one really showcases their "classic" sound.
