Keeper Artist: Black Holiday

Black Holiday

Mixing the pace and melody of the big Swedish bands with the urgency of California thrash as well as the darkness and musical chops of black metal, Black Holiday was one of the premier underground metal acts to emerge in LA/Orange County, California in the early 2000s. Opening for Slayer, System of a Down, In Flames and other big acts they honed their brand of American Blackend Death Metal with intricate, elaborate guitar lines and unforgettable melodies. The good folks at legendary metal magazine Keeper released Black Holiday’s full-length album in 2003 on Keeper Music and featured them on the cover of issue 14 along with Shadows Fall. Black Holiday followed their album with The Possession EP in 2005 before disbanding.

Lockout Music is excited to re-release their full length self-titled album along with their The Possession EP. Get to know this hidden gem Melodic Death Metal Classic.

DEATH METAL / BLACK METAL / MELODIC METAL
