Great Britain was definitely the place where it all started. England lit the flame which over the years became a fiery storm that continues to rage with unabated pride. On the other hand, the American metal scene studied well the teachings of the English and pushed the sound to the next level, in every aspect (technical, dynamic, etc.), but that’s another story. Nevertheless, if it wasn’t for the great Island and the catalytic for the history of Heavy Metal explosion of N.W.O.B.H.M, the music that we love simply would not be what it is today.As a listener I never considered myself as a fanatic of the N.W.O.B.H.M movement or at least its first and most famous period. There are several releases of that time that adorn my record collection but I never personally shared the people’s enthusiasm for the countless demos and 7” which are in my opinion (the majority of them at least) complete mediocrities. Well I guess it’s all a matter of taste. I find the movement’s second period (around ’84 -’87) much more interesting. Citing as examples the monuments of Cloven Hoof, Elixir, Hammer, Blind Fury that had a much more metallized status and the necessary (for me) epic touches.Mendes Prey remained active in the scene for about six years and released two singles of which On to the Borderline of 1982 is their most famous work. Mendes Prey definitely had a varied style and flair, which enabled them to sound like their obvious influences. They could rock in the style of UFO, or Wishbone Ash, Thin Lizzy even Diamond Head (who they toured with). Just listen to Losin Man and tell me that doesn't sound like Diamond Head's Shoot Out The Lights. Sadly, they only recorded a couple of singles and appeared on a few compilation albums, but what they did produce was, for the most part, spectacular
