The New Wave of Traditional Heavy Metal (NWOTHM) is a genre that hearkens back to the formative days of heavy metal, taking strong inspiration from the 1970s and 1980s classics. It embodies a resurgence of the raw power, mythical themes, and epic storytelling found in early metal pioneers, prioritizing melodic guitar riffs, soaring vocals, and pounding rhythms. NWOTHM acts often exhibit a clear reverence for the old school aesthetic, from their leather-and-denim-clad appearances to their analog recording techniques. With a foot in the past and eyes on the future, bands within the NWOTHM movement, such as Manilla Road and Cirith Ungol, strive to rekindle the straightforward, unadulterated spirit of metal's early days, often eschewing modern trends in favor of the authenticity and passion that defined the genre's early heroes.
