NWOTHM (New Wave of Traditional Heavy Metal) is a subgenre of heavy metal music that emerged in the early 2000s. It is characterized by a return to the classic sounds of traditional heavy metal, such as the use of twin guitar harmonies, galloping rhythms, and soaring vocals. NWOTHM bands often draw influence from the classic heavy metal bands of the 1980s, such as Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, and Dio. The genre has seen a resurgence in popularity in recent years, with many new bands emerging to carry on the classic sound.
