Artist Biography
Available in:

Holocaust is a heavy metal band which is based in Edinburgh, Scotland, founded in 1977 while still at high school.

Influenced by Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Motörhead, UFO, Led Zeppelin, Rush and Budgie, the original lineup featured guitarists John Mortimer and Ed Dudley, vocalist Gary Lettice, bassist Robin Begg and drummer Nick Brockie. In 1983, guitar player Ed Dudley left the band, forming and releasing an album under the moniker Hologram.

The John Mortimer-led Holocaust incorporated many progressive metal, thrash metal and post-punk influences into its sound, releasing complex pieces such as the "Sound of Souls" EP and concept album "Covenant". The band's current 3-piece lineup has remained the same since 2003, releasing the album "Predator" in December 2015.
