NWOBHM- The Small Hours(Holocaust)

[stephanie8333]

NWOBHM (New Wave Of British Heavy Metal..\,,/

[skyehoyt1971]

Awesome bead work! R.i.p. culture.

[Brianna2609]

Metallica's rendition is way better in my opinion. I still give them much deserved credit for making such a kick-ass song for them to cover.

[misantropicall]

this song makes me feel like kicking a million asses with a giant steel-pointed boot in slow motion, like bam!!! this is the real shit

[andymcb10572]

Scary how good some of these 70's brit bands truly were. and yet at the time they were all but ignored by so many who today profess to love great british talent. shame. like this check out bauhaus killing joke sisters of mercy the fall discharge dead kennedy's forgotten gems that put todays rubberheads firmly in context

[themonger1]

This Blows Shitty Metallicas version away...

[CombatGuner62]

@themonger1 NOOO NOTHING IS BETTER THEN METALLICA IN THERE OWN MUSIC!!!!!

@CombatGuner62 ...This is the original. Metallica covered it.

[giglfoosm]

@SuperCrazycelt you couldn't be more right

[solboard]

THIS. FUCKING. ROCKS.

[metallicarules123451]

This is much cleaner then metallicas version

[bookworm1138]

true story. was visiting some of my parent's friends today, in a car w. their kids (23 to about 10). anywho, they were playing a CD...the glee-losers covering that child beaver. thankfully, i had "the small hours" by Holocaust to save my sanity and my brain-cells by drowning it out. so though it sounds disturbing, thank you holocaust

[bozzi90]

does anybody know what album is this from????

[dcs2690]

@bozzi90 It is from "Hypnosis of Birds (1992)" ;)

[Vendettria]

Anyone know where i can download this version from, i brought smoking valves its great but was really fucked off when i realised that this song was a live version!!! i feel robbed

[MrCoww]

The beginning could make a grown man crap his pants in fear haha.

[captainkurk]

my favorite off garage days. i wouldn't discredit metallica for their version, but this version is better.

[ChrisHisWickedness]

The drums are better than what's typical of late 70's NWOBHM, more thrash... amazing song.

[ChrisHisWickedness]

That guitar is so eerie in the beginning, wish it was louder... Good song.

[killersbytrade]

This song goes from sludge pace to thrash and back again. Heavy as hell.

[icacorpse]

Sounds a lot like dave mustaine.

[beatles61]

reminds me of saint vitus, a bit faster though

[invectrum]

I love this version more than metallicas...thats a first....they are usually on pint as far as covers go.....its the reason i listen to holocaust so much

[CoolKabbage]

Vocals remind me of Dave Mustaine at times.

[cubby3o5]

@CoolKabbage I think it is Dave using a different name.

[Viic88]

@CoolKabbage

Reminds me more about Gene Simmons

[foxwilliammulderx]

@Viic88 Kinda wierd that you say that. Gene Simmons' mother is a holocast survivor. 

[Viic88]

@foxwilliammulderx

and fox mulder is jewish. :D

When the singing starts, think about god of thunder.

[SuperMichaelaustin]

great... impressive...most impressive

[DAVO1984FI]

Really creepy and scary sounds...

[florinjax]

Wonderful!

[theclitmaster666]

metallica are the masters of taking every opportunity that comes their way.That is the highest compliment I can pay to any band.

[XA351GT]

sounds like Gene Simmons on Kiss' God of Thunder

[jfkdjfd]

I love Metallica's cover, but this is SO FUCKING HEAVY!!!!!!!!

[leparmessiah12]

nice bass drum towards the end sounds fucking badass

[zwhnekrh]

does anybody knows when was this recorded?

[Cymruambyth2]

@zwhnekrh 1983

[Mr5stringBob]

First time I heard this, the original version - LOVE it!!! Always loved Metallica's cover.

[MrAlessandroEleutice]

@Mr5stringBob 1983

[sprimusp1]

@Mr5stringBob This version is actually from the 90s, the original was not recorded in a studio but live, search it.

[IvanDegalo]
