Airforce is a British heavy metal band that originally formed in 1986, featuring ex-Iron Maiden drummer Doug Sampson alongside guitarist Chop Pitman and vocalist Tony "Nippy" Parsons. After a long hiatus, the band reemerged in the late 2000s with renewed energy, delivering classic NWOBHM-inspired tunes blended with gritty, modern heaviness. Known for their no-frills approach to traditional metal, they’ve dropped riff-packed albums like *Strike Hard* and *Band of Brothers*, plus live recordings like *Live Locked N’ Loaded in Poland Lublin Radio* that showcase their raw stage power. With recent releases such as *Acts of Madness* (2023) and *Cursed Moon* (2022), Airforce keeps flying the flag for old-school headbangers while staying locked into their no-nonsense, leather-jacket-and-denim vibe.
