Notes:

– Predatur went through several line-up changes and short periods of inactivity. However, they were going strong up until 1995. For some time in the late 1990s they were known as ‘Rain‘ although this has to be considered as a complete different band altogether.
– Predatur reformed in 2002 and since then they released two albums in addition to giging all the time!

Line Up
Graham Gargiulo (v) – also in The Charlottes, Barefoot Contessa and Helene

Notes:
– From the obscure side of things came Mithrandir! One of the youngest bands during the era. They gave us two 7″ records both released in the same year. Music-wise it is a kinda beautiful, naive and amateurish blend of Metal with 1970s Hard Rock and Psychedelic influences

CHARGER

Charger

Location: Northallerton

Line Up
Colin Bell (v,b) – also in Mai Rouge
Steve Williams (g)
Steve Hall (d)

Notes:
– Formed in 1984 under the name Wild Tiger. Gave just one gig with this name at York Trailers Social Club in July 1984. At the end of the gig Steve Hall replaced Andrew (Fez) Peacock on Drums and the name changed to Charger.
– Played numerous gigs and gained a considerable fan base
– The band also has at least one demo recording which was given to the press
– Their track ‘Rock’ appears on the compilation “The Metal Collection Volume I” (LP, Ebony Records, 1986)


Desperadoes

7″ self-released (1984) BCSK 001

1. Desperadoes
2. Are You Out There

*Limited to 500 copies

Charger were latecomers to the NWOBHM scene, with their only release being a single that saw the light of day in 1986-1987 (earlier release dates reported by some people have been refuted; see Malc MacMillians ‘The NWOBHM Encyclopedia’). Both tracks are fantastic, high-energy numbers. ‘Desperadoes’ moves at a furious pace with absolutely blistering guitar work and is on par with the fastest NWOBHM songs (e.g., Jaguars ‘Axe Crazy’, Sweet Savages ‘Eye of the Storm’, etc). Songs like this one clearly demonstrate how speed and thrash metal grew out of the NWOBHM scene (of course, both genres had taken off well before this particular single was released). The b-side, ‘Are You Out There’, is also a high-octane headbanger, but it has a more anthemic vibe to it; its the kind of song the crowd is meant to sing along to with fists held high. Both songs feature a great vocal performance, the singer having a strong, ‘pure’ voice similar to bands like STAGEFRIGHT and HOLLOW GROUND. The production, while not stellar (it was a small-time recording after all), doesn’t hurt the music either.
The single is a rare and collectible item among NWOBHM fans, although its late release date seems to be something of a turn-off to some purists.

Newcastle based band. Vocalist, Eddy Halliday & drummer Sean Taylor had left the band by this point, Taylor going on to play with a whos who of NWOBHM bands, including SATAN, PARIAH, BLIND FURY, RAVEN & BLITZKRIEG. With a new sticks-man and vocalist, Warrior returned to action with this, which would prove to be their final release, 1984s “Breakout” EP, which was again released on their own Warrior label. This proved to be the end of the road for Warrior, with the band splitting by the years end.
