MUSIC FEATURE: Get To Know – Holy Roar Records

If you’re into all things heavy, Holy Roar Records should already be on your radar.

Founded in 2006, the trailblazing independent label boasts an impressively extensive back catalogue featuring releases from Employed To Serve, Body Hound, Brutality Will Prevail and alumni such as Trash Talk, The Ghost Of A Thousand and Chris Fehn’s Will Haven.

This winter, Holy Roar have taken it upon themselves to get you in the Christmas spirit the only way they know how….creating their own advent calendar set to showcase the very best in blistering noise. If you needed the introduction, we’ve put together the must-hear tracks compiled from Holy Roar Record’s releases of 2017 to get you fired up ahead of the ’12 Bands Of Christmas’, which will be hitting the Old Blue Last in London from 30th November (full dates and line-ups below).
