There is a Christian NWOBHM group called STAIRWAY that is still around. They were on the White Metal Warriors compilation.

Yes. They are British and they started in the early 80's. They probably were a bit behind the time since most of the NWOBHM bands started in the late 70's.

Their first full length album wasn't released until 1993 I believe. However, they had recorded demos and such in the 80's. They also had tracks on the 1990 compilation "White Metal Warriors".

Their sound is simple, British, heavy metal. I'm sure that most genre nazi's today would label them hard rock, as they would much of the NWOBHM movement.

Their first album, "No Rest-No Mercy" was re-released by Retroactive last year. You can hear samples and purchase the CD on CDBaby.com

The cover on this one was done by Rodney Matthews, who has also done work for Asia, Nazareth, Seventh Angel, among others.

Also, their latest, which retains that traditional British heavy metal sound is available on CDBaby:
