Always wondered who was behind the New Wave Of Swedish Heavy Metal bootleg label.
Anyone knows? feel free to PM me info if you don't wanna call out someone.

I had always assumed that it ws a retrospective term that had come to be in recent times, but if this fella is to be believed, (and i'm guessing a look through the magazine he wrote for would bear his claims out), then that wasn't the case.

I'm told Ron Quintana used a similar term in Metal Mania #10.

You mean FWOSHM or NWOSHM?

The FWOSHM "term" have been around since early 80's.
Usually it was written in Swedish "FVASHM" (Första Vågen av Svensk Heavy Metal - First Wave of Swedish Heavy Metal)

Check out the Hammer Zines on the forum
they used to do FVASHM specials.

Hammer #2 1983


Hammer #3 1983


Hammer #4 1984


Hammer #5 1984

Edit: I changed the topic title. I believe it was misunderstood, I was reffering to the "New Wave of Swedish Heavy Metal" bootleg label who did 7" reissues in the mid 90s (?).

Sorry about the confusion.

Sorry about the confusion.

Any confusion was likely mine alone as i wasn't very awake when i replied to your original query last night & completely misunderstood what you were asking.

Apologies for muddying the waters.
