Gamma Ray does a great cover of this song. Could not find the studio version but this live version will do.

When I was first getting into stuff like Angel Witch and Diamond Head, I got The Nightcomers. I remember it not clicking and it didn't last too long in my collection. As I said in the New Cds thread, I recently got it again and it clicks with me. I mean they are probably as much rock n roll as they are NWOBHM.
Anyhow, it was odd...
They played Heavy Metal Mania on Sirius this week.

I listened to the album a few more times the past month and it still didnt do much for me...not that it is more rock, it isnt that good. They put on a powerful perfromance at KIT but the songs are just not memorable.

I don't like that band. They play far too slow, and so the adrenaline just doesn't flow. I'm a Holocaust denier.
So are most NWOBHM bands, which is why I don't like any of them except for Maiden, Angel Witch, and Cloven Hoof.

I'm not really into Holocaust but it's not because of their closer connection with rock and roll. In fact, I love the NWOBHM for being strongly connected to the rock sound, I think it's great. Could never get into Holocaust though
Holocaust is awesome, their best song however is Mavrock, way ahead of its time, very dark, heavy, depressing almost doomish style. A very unique song given its time period. The entire Nightcomers album is awesome not a single filler track. Smokin Valves ep is also excellent, and don't forget the live album hot curry and wine. The only stuff by them I have not heard is there post classic era but a fiend of mine from Finland named Petri told me all of the material is good even newer stuff. I am inclined to believe him, he introduced me Anthares and Lombotomia so far he has a good track record.
To each their own but I am not sure I understand how a metal fan could not like Holocaust, they are easily one of the best NWOBHM bands.
So I guess the moral of this thread is there won't be a sponsorship campaign anytime soon for HOLOCAUST to appear at Ragnarokkr!!
Thats to bad, I would love to see them live again. I also could think of at least 50 people of the top of my head who come just to see them.
