NWOBHM
The riff was born in a pub and ended up storming the castle walls.
NWOBHM is a style from the Storm and Steel family. 150 BPM, Weirdness 24, Style Influence 93.
Twin guitars galloping in unison and a clean voice that soars to the rafters. NWOBHM, the founding spark of British heavy metal, is melodic, energetic, and eternally epic.

Sample excerpt
Cuatro chavos, una camioneta prestada y un amplificador robado, tocamos en pubs donde nadie sabía nuestros nombres. No teníamos dinero para grabar un disco y grabamos uno de todas formas.
¡Arriba, que la noche es nuestra! Sin sello, sin permiso y sin plan B. De ahí salió todo lo que vino después, de cuatro tipos que no supieron esperar.
Workshop note — Plural, pretérito, épica y de garaje. La NWOBHM celebra el hacerlo uno mismo: la letra debe narrar la precariedad con orgullo. A 150 BPM las frases de siete sílabas con guitarras gemelas.
