V/A : Jobcentre Rejects Vol 4 - Ultra Rare FWOSHM 1978-1983

Now i think about it, I'm sure the Aussies use the term too.

Indeed we do... aka "The Rock 'n' Roll".....

Do Swedes actually call social security 'the dole', or is that a tie-in with the Jobcentre Rejects theme & a nod to the circumstances most NWoBHM bands were formed in?

No we don't, that's purely an English expression. So most likely tied to the fact that the label focuses on releasing bands who went nowhere and didn't get signed.

It's more accurately a British expression as it's used by us Scots, the Northern Irish & Welsh too, but that's just me being a thin-skinned nitpicker with a chip on my shoulder. Now i think about it, I'm sure the Aussies use the term too.

Both Brits, Scots, Aussies, Welsh- and Irishmen speak English, don't they? Ok, that's just me nitpicking.

This journalist claims he used the phrase "FIrst Wave of Swedish Heavy Metal" in Creem Metal in the '80s.

I hope we get a collection of all of the Behemoth (Sweden) material someday soon.

Ron Quintana used a similar term in Metal Mania #10, not sure if he was the first.

I had assumed that DaN had coined the phrase himself as the first place i'd encountered it was on the Corroseum, most likely in the '707 Inches...' feature, but it seems i was wrong.
What's that saying? 'Never assume, because you'll only make an ass of u and me'?
At the very least, he helped to popularise both the phrase and the movement it referred to and kept the memory of those bands alive, so he did us a huge service in that regard.
