List of new wave of British heavy metal bands

The period 1975–85 in the United Kingdom introduced a movement of young musicians, generally identified as the new wave of British heavy metal. The movement spawned more than a thousand hard rock and heavy metal bands from all over the UK, which were more or less forcibly identified as heavy metal acts.^[1][2] Most of those bands did not survive past the mid-1980s and disbanded, but many reformed in the 2000s.^[3]
