euro metal

A form of heavy metal that evolved in continental europe (especially in Germany and Scandinavia) in parallel with and influenced by NWOBHM. Early members of the Euro metal movement were bands like Golden Earing (NL), The Scorpions (D), Jane (D) and Trust (F), but by the mid 1980's had evolved into a distinct brand of thrash metal.

Mercyful Fate (Den), Helloween (D), The Destroyers (Pol), Baron Rojo (Esp) and Bathory (Nor) are all good exapmles of how Euro metal evolved.

Yet the same quango still managed to find another £1.5 million extra cash for it's universally unpopular masterplan

"The closure of the unit 19 project is yet another example of Community at Haert over riding the wishes of the local community in favour of Mcdadeism and the political kudos of Emperor Ralph
