FWIW, There's a lot of new bands sounding like the old classic Metal bands, they are `tagged` as NWOTHM (New Wave of Traditional Heavy Metal), such as:

- White Wizzard

- Tailgunner

- Skull Fist

- Wolf

- Enforcer

- 3 Inches of Blood

- Lucifer

- and many others

Witchcraft (especially their earlier albums) really scratches this itch for me

Absolutely love Lucifer and Tailgunner. Wouldn’t put them in the same category, but highly recommended for fans of Iron Maiden or anyone who listened to Deep Purple growing up.

		Tailgunner seems to sound just enough like Iron Maiden to satisfy Maiden fans but not so much to be a clone band or a tribute act who does “originals.” Tough line to find.
