With the ever-growing interest and respect around the world for the rock music genre known as the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal (NWOBHM) — the monumental British metal and European metal movement from 1979 through 1982 — there has never been a better time to celebrate the music of those pioneering bands from the era.
Several musicians who were key members of some of the biggest bands of that time — PRAYING MANTIS, DIAMOND HEAD, RAVEN, TANK and PERSIAN RISK — have come together as LORDS OF NWOBHM to faithfully perform many of those classic songs that are now a major part of rock music history.
LORDS OF NWOBHM's setlist will feature classic tracks from the above bands plus a carefully curated selection of songs from several of the other iconic artists from the era to make this the ultimate NWOBHM show.
The official LORDS OF NWOBHM lineup comprises:
Tino Troy (PRAYING MANTIS) - Guitar
John Gallagher (RAVEN) - Bass
Karl Wilcox (DIAMOND HEAD) - Drums
Cliff Evans (TANK) - Guitar
Carl Sentance (PERSIAN RISK) - Vocals
Two shows are already booked for Tokyo, Japan in January 2026, with more dates to be announced soon.
Gallagher says: "The cream of British metal playing the best of the NWOBHM!"
Adds Evans: "This music is in our blood!"
Wilcox states: "A hefty salute to the genre that spawned some of metal's biggest bands!"
Sentance says: "NWOBHM never dies!"
Troy comments: "The second wave is imminent!"
