Hailing from Edinburgh, Scotland, Holocaust were formed in the late ’70s, and 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 favourite of the genre. They have had songs covered from acts such as Gamma Ray and Metallica. Heavy Metal Mania features the singles the band did collected onto one album and its easy to see why this band has been a major influence on many later metal acts. This is worth picking up for both fans who want all the singles in the same place and newcomers looking for the foundations of modern metal.
