In the precincts of battle

The bastard children of Steel Mammoth (who are in turn the get of Circle), these four bands contain more or less the same members as far as I can tell--they're credited by different pseudonyms on each release--and the sound is in line with Steel Mammoth's (if a bit heavier & more actually metal): loose, deconstructed, hypnotic; weird homages/satires that end up sounding more like each other than whatever genre they're taking off.

A classic 1983 example of the NWOFHM (but not really)

CD EP

Punkish, Motorhead influenced but with clean guitars & distorted vocals.

7"

Less hypno-rock, more METAL on this one.

7"

NWOFHM garage psych.

7"

All this NWOFHM stuff is very much to taste, and I can imagine some people hating it, but I find it generally charming, with some really interesting musical stuff hidden under the affections and silliness.

Finnish Genius

The heart of the New Wave Of Finnish Heavy Metal (also see Pharaoh Overlord & the superb Steel Mammoth), Circle sound different on every release of theirs I've heard. On this one blown-out electronics hum and ambient blips segue into glitch-shot, raging 80s-ish (check the bleak apocalyptic cover) hardcore punk and then back again over the course of 11 tracks; as always, Circle's take on a genre is weird and very enjoyable.

(due to my neanderthal-like incomprehension of moviemaker, the video is 1:00 longer than the actual song.)
