Holocaust is a Scottish heavy metal band founded in 1977 and based in Edinburgh, Scotland.

Influenced by Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Motörhead, ACDC, UFO, Led Zeppelin, Rush and Budgie, the current lineup is John Mortimer guitar and vocals, Scott Wallace drums and Mark McGrath bass. 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,^[1] releasing the album "Predator" in December 2015.

Holocaust's best known song remains "The Small Hours", which Metallica covered in 1987.
