Jaguar's first demo and their first album, could possibly be the height of the genre for me... oh maaaaan!

oh Mythra! their death and destiny album is in my want list!

Yes Jaguar is Great, I only have Power Games, but it's good raw and fast nwobhm!

and I love this band, Slander
formed in 90', but play NWOBHM style stuff
this album is full of CLASSIC nwobhm songs!

Satan/Blind Fury fucking SHINE

Great album!

(and nice avatar )

Satan/Blind Fury/Pariah is one of the most talented but overlooked band from UK

If timing right and with better luck
I think they could be another huge classic UK band

it's shame they don't get what they deserve,
left to one of those obscure forgotten one......

Satan debut court in the act is absolutely their best and most creative work,
a classic that true metalhead should own and should play on regular routine

I love Satan, one of the best bands James has introduced me to.

Well said BK, I think Tippins and Ramsey were one of the greatest NWOBHM guitar double teams! I do wish Court in the Act had a more worthy production job, but it still rules.

I really love Suspended Sentence and the Into the Future EP too, a bit more shreddy and catchy, and a different singer (named Michael Jackson!).

The Court in the Act line-up is playing at Keep It True 2011!

Oh, I think ct in the act production is very good enough for an 80' metal release
especially NWOBHM, there have many kinda crappy sounding nwobhm stuff

I actually have court in the act till the 2nd album of Pariah, [I'm a fanboy ]
the only album I can't found is the last album of Pariah
damn....... its freaking hard to find!

ah.... I wish can watch them live too, but....I'm stuck in HK
Brian Ross back in Satan is good!!! [well, MJ is good in Pariah too haha ]
I love his voice in debut,
but do they have any plan for release new material?

Not that I know of, and I'd rather they didn't really.

I still feel the Caught in the Act production quality is a let-down - the guitars and drums sound weak compared to lots of their peers. Maybe they were just low on funds, or had a bad engineer? The Suspended Sentence production is stronger at least.

ah, see.....

oh, we can never really know why
but I can always stand those raw and shitty productions
so the album sounds really okay to me

I have yet to listen Suspended Sentence, my cd is still sealed
will listen later

i think the court in the act production is good, to me it sounds like it is badly mastered with a lot of the bass frequencies being lost. The guitar tones sound pretty crunching and the drums are well mixed, its just lacking the omph in the general sound. but still, what an album! Break Free is such a catchy song. you can really hear their influence on early thrash bands, especially metallica!

i love the sound of early nwobhm - before 80s digital sound took over, a lot of the early 7"s hold that awesome warmness, with some especially raging guitar tones. it's such a true sound, no major production jobs and fancy stuff hiding the musicianship (for better and worse haha!), the music is really left to speak for itself.

right, here's one i don't think we've mentioned, and certainly one of my absolute favourites - i listen to these guys almost everyday... Persian Risk.




Such amazing vocals, song writing is so perfect, riffs beyond belief, arrrgh! they are so good!!

oh yeah, I like nwobhm with RAW sound

good stuff!!!
I almost order their Rise Up album before from Sonic Age Records.
do u have that album? is it good?

anyway
Im waiting for few albums from post
including Avenger, Samson and Battleaxe
[I will get tokyo blade soon, I can't stand to not having any album of them no more!]

Im listening this album recently,
good one!
