History & Biography
Holosade was one of the several band that participated in the emergence of thrash metal in the UK. The band hailed from north of England and issued a demo called Vendetta in 1985. Mac joined in May 1987. The act was also heard on Ebony Records' The Metal Collection LP. The band was using its own imprint KBE (Krap Band Enterprises) for its demos and management.

A more professional demo called Psycho was issued later. The band signed with the fledgling Powerstation (tokyo Blade) and opted to tour with Demon. The horror-influenced album, which was originally meant to be a mini-album, of 1988 had some traction with the UK press, but the act soon imploded leaving only De Sade standing. Live At The Marquee May was an independent release in 1990.

The members scattered until 1993 when a reformation was attempted. The recorded tracks never saw the light of day until Divebomb Records gave them a release as A Circle Of Silent Screams in 2015. Drummer Lee died in 2008. The act was booked for HammerFest IV in the UK in 2012. Dissonance/Cherry Red released an album called Anastasis in 2021. Adam Ironside had joined in 2017.
