I meant of course 'Devil's meat', sorry for the confusion.

don't forget Devil's Meat!!

ROTTEN TO THE CORE!

Somehow I don't like this album; it doesn't have that apocalyptic/weird/psychotic/strange/hypnotic/trance inducing/schizophrenic atmosphere like their second masterpiece.

But 'Evil friendship' is not even half as filthy and raw as 'Devil's meat'. I love them both, each one for different reasons.

Can Gogmagog be considered NWoBHM?

I like Ethel The Frog, Gogmagog, AND the first Praying Mantis...but I wouldn't put them on a pedestal.

I personally use the word when I describe it, it's basically a NWOBHM supergroup...but I can't say it's technically correct if computer says noooo...

EDIT: I have seen the term "post-nwobhm" used to describe bands like Deep Switch and the Dealer full length.

First of all Gogmagog ain't exactly Heavy Metal. Would you consider Lionheart's Hot Tonight, Dianno's first solo album or Stratus' Throwing Shapes NWOBHM?

I wouldn't, but plenty of unscrupulous E-Bay sellers & record dealers would and do unfortunately.
With hindsight, isn't it odd that all those "wimpy" records you mentioned have former Iron Maiden members connected to 'em? What was it about being members of Maiden that made them record such light weight material later? See also A.S.A.P.
Interesting.

Indeed!

The release from the dictatorship that is Steve Harris maybe. Combined with the general movement from seventies Hard Rock into AOR-territory/general blandness in the early to mid-eighties (Rainbow, Kiss, Uriah Heep, B.Ö.C. and about every Southern Rock band there was etc). Again the lack of musical integrity and identity that a true artist (S Harris - or is he just stubborn?) must possess is showing.
