George Arvanitakis (Obscure NWOBHM Releases): The guardian of NWOBHM

Remember an old saying “There is everything In Greece”? Not sure about everything, but when it comes to die-hard metal fans, it is true! One of them is George Arvanitakis, a true warrior of NWOBHM. He has been obsessed with this music for years and runs a label with the name that speaks for itself — Obscure NWOBHM Releases. It was George who brought us records of Dealer, Chain Reaction, Charlie Ungry, Goldsmith and many more!    

Taurus: Chase your dreams, not paper

There is always a good story between the dates of birth and death on a gravestone. Yours truly pretends to be a philosopher... But there is a lot of truth in these words, and the following interview proves it. Taurus. Of course you remeber these guys and their hit "Paper Chaser"! They did all the nesessary things for a NWOBHM band: toured hard, played at the Marquee, appeared in the Friday Rock Show and on the pages of Sounds and Kerrang. What else? Oh yes, they sank after a few years and never managed to release an EP, not saying an LP. But yet they have a lot of stories to share and a lot of things to be proud of. The drummer Hugh McGouran remembers the good times!
