The NWOBHM movement began in the mid-1970s with the release of albums by bands such as Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, and Saxon. These bands were inspired by the classic heavy metal bands of the 1970s, such as Black Sabbath and Deep Purple, but they also brought a new energy and aggression to the genre.
The NWOBHM quickly gained a following among young people in the UK and beyond. Bands began to tour extensively and released a number of successful albums. By the early 1980s, the NWOBHM was at its peak, with bands such as Def Leppard and Whitesnake achieving mainstream success.
