Haven't has any good ol NWOBHM up here in a while, so lets change that with some Holocaust. I has featured Holocaust a while back with their debut album
'The Nightcomers' and remembered they put out two pretty killer Live records. So decided to feature the more well known one in
'Live (Hot Curry & Wine).' The album actually is the second Live album in a row following the bands debut album. Touring in the early days was critical if you wanted to stand out from the other NWOBHM bands, and well Holocaust did. This version of the album is the reissue from Metal Blade that features two bonus tracks in "Lovin' Feelin' Danger" and "Death Or Glory".
The band of course is most known for having Metallica cover their song "The Small Hours". But they also got covered by Gamma Ray and Six Feet Under. The band is widely regarded as one of the pioneers of the NWOBHM movement. Despite the praise the band released one more album in '84 before dropping off the grid til the early '90's where their sound evolved into more of a Progressive, Post Rock sound. The old sound did come back some with the '03 release of
'Primal'. Despite another decade long hiatus the band has returned again and are working on a new record.
