Holocaust

Holocaust are a NWOBHM band. They formed in 1977. They are currently still active as far as I know and I think released an album sometimes in the last ten years or less. Although they've now moved on too more of a progish- sound. I really enjoy the first album "The Nightcomers" album is freaking awesome. Honestly, it's got one of my favorite NWOBHM bands on it "Heavy Metal Mania." Personally, I'm a big fan of the first few albums. I'm sure some of you that are heavily into Heavy Metal/NWOBHM probably know of the band.

So, fans?

Haha, I'm going through all my older stuff from when I <3'd NWOBHM.

I know a couple of their songs but that's all. I couldn't find any of their stuff on torrent when i last searched for it...

I'm a big fan...got both the double disk versions of The Nightcomers and Live (Hot Curry & Wine).

Especially the bonus disk on The Nightcomers is awsome. It contains all their early singles, b-sides and EP's they did before The Nightcomers and shows a heavier and rougher side than on their slightly overproduced debut. The original single version of Heavy Metal Mania, Smokin' Valves and b-sides like Only as Young As You Feel and Lovin' Feelin' Danger are true N.W.O.B.H.M. classics.

Another classic of the band is The Small Hours and was covered by Metallica on Garage Days Re-Visited EP in 1987 (and later re-released on Garage Inc.).

I would recommend their anthology Smokin' Valves, witch was released in 2003. It include all the essential classics songs, mixed with a handful of newer songs from their most recent albums. Despite some controversy on this release back in 2003, it's a nice way to get into Holocaust music and a glimpse into their entire career.
