5 out of 5 stars Whatever happen to...?.......2006-02-20

Recently purchased this cd and it is really great. Way ahead of its time. The guitarwork of Ed Dudley just awesome. I know he did some work in the nineties. No sure about the name, but the music rocks!

5 out of 5 stars ESSENTIAL chapter in your heavy metal education!!!.......2005-05-06

i would wager most modern "metal heads" have never heard Holocaust.hopefully this re-release might change that,as they where indeed an important chapter in the "evolution"(some may say de-volution)of metal.
as other reviewers pointed out,this is indeed proto-thrash with a darn heavy guitar tone.compared with most (metal)bands today,it sounds rather tame.however,with its rock'n'roll sensibilities mixed with that distortion and catchy tunes all one can say is it's FUN.
i kinda lump them in with Motorhead,not that they sound like them but they have that mix of styles and timeless quality

5 out of 5 stars Very Heavy British Metal.......2002-10-02

This is one of the best metal albums ever.The difference with most NWOBHM albums of the time ,is that this one is much heavier and is actually a proto-thrash lp.No wonder why bands like Metallica , Gamma Ray and even Six feet under(!!!) have covered songs by Holocaust.All the compositions are very energetic and dark while the guitar sound is very raw and distorted.So , just buy it!

5 out of 5 stars Brutal Early 80's Metal.......2001-05-04

This album is simply amazing. While the NWOBHM produced a great many bands (Iron Maiden, Angel Witch, Tygers, Witchfinder, etc., etc.), Holocaust is definately the heaviest and darkest, surpassing Venom by a long shot. Although the band definately had anthematic songs like "Heavy Metal Mania" and "Smokin' Valves", the band was best with their devasting tracks like "Death or Glory", "Mavrock", and "The Nightcomers".

John Mortimer, the leading force behind Holocaust, wanted the band to explore extreme speed (predating the Metal Massacre comps) and slow, grinding metal. Unfortunately, he decided to leave Holocaust while the rest of the band wanted to go commercial (much like Def Leppard did). So, Holocaust became Hologram and the early brutality and experimental nature of Holocaust was never fully realized. Imagine what could have been.

But, thankfully, we do have this Metal Masterpiece, and Holocaust/Mortimer have released some truly experimental and dark albums in the 90's and into today.

So, anyway, for one of the best of the NWOBHM, check this out. At a time when disco and punk were dominating the music scene with lackluster tunes, Holocaust annihilated ear drums and wrecked necks. After all, there's a REASON they're named Holocaust! As Mortimer said about his early days, "It [punk] was about rebellion. And noise. And we thought, 'We'll show ya. You wanna know what NOISE is?'" Check this baby out!

4 out of 5 stars Kickin' Scottish Rock.......2004-09-08

These tracks were fantastic when they were released back in the 80s. No-nonsense full-on-metal from Scotland. I'm so glad they're still being released, I wanted to spread the word as I get the feeling ya'll enjoy your rock bands. Give this a try, you won't regret it.
