Symphonic Holocaust is the only studio album by Swedish four-piece progressive rock band Morte Macabre. It was released in October 1998 via Mellotronen. Recording sessions took place at Studio Largen in Sweden. Production was handled by the quartet themselves.
Composed of eight tracks, the album consists of re-makes of instrumentals taken from the soundtracks of obscure, mostly European exploitation movies with the exception of two original compositions.[1]
Music critics and reviewers noted the band's focus on the mellotron, which was popular among progressive rock bands of the 60s and 70s.
In 2004, American horrorcore musician Necro sampled the band's version of "Apoteosi del Mistero" for his song "The Dispensation of Life and Death" off of The Pre-Fix for Death.
