Stormchild is a classic British Metal act that was active on the scene from 1984 to 1987. Although often cited as being part of the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal, the band always felt themselves more in tune with the extreme metal bands that were emerging from both America and Europe at the time. Stormchild always had an ear to more underground sounds such as Forbidden, Death, Nasty Savage, Exodus and Vio-lence, as well as Canadians like Exciter, Voi Vod and Razor. On the European side of the Atlantic, Stormchild were heavily influenced by and contemporary to the likes of Mercyful Fate, Destruction, Kreator, Sodom and Celtic Frost. Add in a bit of British grit via Venom and Motorhead, a sackful of youthful energy and an artistic vision far beyond the members' tender years at the time, and you have an act that even 20 years after splitting are still considered seminal in their field.

PHOENIX and CRIER are Swedish bands. PHOENIX was from Malmö and earlier known as STORMBRINGER / NEW BRAND. CRIER was from Hässleholm and earlier known as METAL MUTHAZ / SACRIFICE.

Ebony was one of the classic minor-league labels of the NWOBHM time, focusing on up-and-coming mid-eighties bands mostly from England, though a few Euro bands crept in as well. Similar to labels such as Metal Blade, Ebony started out releasing compilations of unsigned acts, a few of which went on to record albums with the label (one notable band that did appear on a comp but later went on to bigger things on another label was Mercyful Fate). Many of the releases were produced in-house by label founder Darryl Johnston, giving several of the albums a similar low-budget style that nevertheless was part of the charm of the NWOBHM period. A lot of the bands released one or two albums and never amounted to a lot, but there were a few gems in there, including Savage's classic "Loose 'n' Lethal", while the biggest band to emerge from this label would almost certainly be Grim Reaper, who was snapped up by the major label RCA on their way to a successful worldwide career.
