V.A. – WINDS OF TIME: The New Wave Of British Heavy Metal 1979-1985 [3xCD] (2018) *EXCLUSIVE*
To complete the Cherry Red / HNE new release of The New Wave Of British Heavy Metal compilation featured here yesterday, here’s the first 3-CD release from the label from two years ago titled “WINDS OF TIME: The New Wave Of British Heavy Metal 1979-1985“.
Outside of the success stories and better-known contenders, panning for gold among the era’s less lauded exponents can yield cack-handed cacophonies alongside the nuggets,Hear No Evil have wisely enlisted NWOBHM authority John Tucker, a man with several books on the subgenre under his bullet belt, to compile ”Winds Of Time”. The selection here doesn’t ignore bigger names, but manages to avoid obvious choices, mining major and independent label albums and singles, and even demo tapes, for gems.
All these rarities have been remastered by Andy Pearce (Rock Candy Records) and the sound quality is fantastic.
