Welcome to TheNwothm.com — your home for all things New Wave of Traditional Heavy Metal!

How TheNwothm.com Was Formed

Launched in early 2023, TheNwothm was born from a deep passion and enduring love for the traditional metal sound. After stepping away from the writing scene for several years, it was the music, this movement that reignited my creative spark, and from that spark, TheNwothm came to life.

What began as a solo project gradually gained momentum. I connected with like-minded fans, secured interviews, built an audience, and watched the site evolve into something real and meaningful.

The site is proudly run by passionate volunteers from around the world, built by fans for fans. What began as a small vision quickly evolved into a thriving community effort. As the vision grew, so did the team. Now, in 2025, we continue to grow stronger every day.

Our Values & Goals

From the start, TheNwothm has always been about the music. We are not here for gossip, negativity, or chasing profits. We shine a light on bands of all sizes, signed or unsigned, from anywhere in the world, because every voice in the traditional metal scene matters. Our mission is to celebrate the movement, support the artists, and build a global community grounded in respect, passion, and heavy riffs.

Achievements

Thanks to the incredible support of our community, the beginning of 2025 marked a new chapter for us. Through crowdfunding, we introduced a fresh logo and updated branding that reflect our growth, evolution, and renewed energy.

In late 2025 we ran another successful campaign via GoFundme helping us to fund essential costs for the site, so we can keep focused on the writing! Without our wonderful communities kindness and love for what we do the site would not be around so thank you!
