Killer debut Album. NWOBHM band. Hailing from Edinburgh, Scotland, Holocaust were formed in the late ’70s, and featured vocalist Gary Lettice, guitarists John Mortimer and Ed Dudley, bassist Robin Begg, and drummer Nicky Arkless. Like many New Wave of British Heavy Metal bands, Holocaust cut their teeth in local clubs during the waning days of punk, before finally scoring an independent record deal and issuing 1981’s seminal The Nightcomers. Though commercially unsuccessful, the album has remained a favorite of the genre and was later cited as a major influence by members of Metallica, who covered the song ‘The Small Hours’ from the band’s subsequent release, 1983’s Live — Hot Curry and Wine. Rare tape collectors. Date released 2018. Label: Cryptic Fan Musick
