Some people will use NWOBHM as a subgenre, but I prefer NWOBHM-influenced or NWOBHM-period. After all, there are or were many different subgenres prevalent during that time. Angel Witch and Tank were more thrash metal, Maiden more traditional metal, Venom were of course Black Metal. Then you had more AOR-leaning bands such as Leppard and Praying Mantis. So there were a lot of different styles and subgenres, making it pretty impossible to classify a band as NWOBHM really.
