The New Wave of American Heavy Metal (abbreviated as NWOAHM or NWoAHM) is a movement in heavy metal music that originated in the United States during the late 1990s. The term NWOAHM is a reference to the New Wave of British Heavy Metal movement of the 1980s.^[1][4][5] Although the term is used by the Rock media with increasing frequency, the definition has not been finished completely.^[4] NWOAHM is considered to bring the heavy metal back to mainstream.^[5][3]

[edit] History

The movement has its origins in a group of post-grunge acts such as Pantera, Biohazard, Slipknot and Machine Head that brought heavy metal "back to its core brutality and drawing not from the traditional Blues formula but from NYHC, thrash metal and punk."^[4] "At one end of the spectrum, you have the traditionalists, the bands who choose to remain within the rigid confines of whatever style they play; and at the other, the innovators who, despite equally strong contributions from the traditionalists, are providing the most thrills these days, taking metal's sound in daring new directions."^[3]

Garry Sharpe-Young from Rockdetector says that in the book New Wave of American Heavy Metal he "included some of the older bands that show the real roots of metalcore, like Agnostic Front and the whole NYHC, plus the groups that broke the metal scene into new territory after grunge — Pantera, Biohazard and Machine Head. From there it gets really diverse, crossing the spectrum from melodic death metal to emocore and everything in between."^[1] The movement encompasses a number of different styles including alternative metal, sub-Gothique emocore, hardcore, progressive metal, mathcore, melodic death metal, metalcore, neo-thrash and screamo bands.^{[1][2][4][3][6]}
