Dive into the raw energy of the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal (NWOBHM) with the compilation ESSENTIAL NWOBHM VOL. 2. Following the success of the first volume, this collection showcases essential tracks from the era that emerged when young bands mixed the hard rock foundations of the 70s with the DIY attitude of punk. This volume features many surprises and rare versions of songs, with only two bands overlapping from Volume 1.

This compilation focuses on the independent spirit that defined the movement, highlighting bands that, unlike major label acts like Iron Maiden or Saxon, began pressing their own singles and LPs, often recording at pioneering studios like Impulse in Newcastle, which founded Neat Records.

The CD was expertly compiled and remastered by Neudi, recognized as an expert on the NWOBHM and a member of the tribute band ROXXCALIBUR. The release includes a booklet packed with many photos and liner notes detailing this crucial period in heavy music history.
