Quote: Tigerade "It's now called the New NWOBHM. Monument are a prime example and surprisingly there is still a decent fan base for it. There has recently been a trend in 70's occult rock resurfacing (Ghost, Devils Blood, Blood Ceremony) so I think the next move could well be to delve into the sounds of NWOBHM. Saxon are still going strong.'"
A fair number are still going. Maiden are an obvious example, while bands such as Girlschool and Tank have never gone away, although the latter sadly no longer feature the excellent Algy Ward on bass & vocals. There have been some recent reformation, notably Yorkshire's own Vardis, as well as Rock Goddess and Chariot.
