Box Sets

Holocaust might have ended up as a small, albeit important and 
influential, footnote in the annals of the New Wave Of British Heavy 
Metal, and heavy metal in general, if it wasn’t for the patronage of one
 very famous group of fans in Metallica. From the start, Metallica were 
more than happy to acknowledge the ongoing influence of groups from this
 side of the pond, especially those who were part of the NWOBHM, through
 various B-Sides and EPs. In 1987, they released The $5.98 E.P. – 
‘Garage Days Re-Revisited’ EP, which included their faithful cover of 
Holocaust’s ‘The Small Hours’, and later also included it on the 1998 
multi-platinum selling ‘Garage Inc’.

Right from the start, Holocaust set out their stall with one agenda, 
and that was to spread ‘Heavy Metal Mania’, which was suitably the title
 of their debut 45 in 1980, followed by the ‘Smokin’ Valves’ single the 
same year.

Releasing their full length debut in 1981, The Nightcomers (CD1) 
features the raw and untamed energy that would give their NWOBHM peers 
south of the border a good run for their money, with the 
self-explanatory ‘Death Or Glory’, the aforementioned ‘Smokin’ Valves’, 
plus a re-recording of debut, ‘Heavy Metal Mania.

As most bands made their money selling albums, touring for an 
independent band could be an expensive venture for a band based in 
Scotland, so they made the admirable decision to film and record their 
1981 show at the Nite Club in Edinburgh. Retailing at a hefty £29.95 
(well in excess of over £100 in today’s money), the 80-minute film did 
capture Holocaust’s raw exuberance, with tracks such as ‘Bridge Of 
Impressions’, ‘Out My Book’ and ‘Jirmakenyerut’. CD2 presents the audio 
soundtrack to the live video, and includes the first airing for the 
above mentioned classic, ‘The Small Hours’.

The set is completed with their No Man’s Land album and Ed Dudley’s
 Hologram band’s ‘Steal the Stars’ after he left Holocaust in 1983; plus
 all of the group’s original singles and B-sides.
