African Holocaust (album)
African Holocaust is a reggae album released by Steel Pulse in July 2004. It is Steel Pulse's most recent studio album and their eleventh overall. At the time of this album, the band was down to only two founding members, lead guitarist and vocalist David Hinds and keyboardist and backup vocalist Selwyn Brown. The album features an ample guest list headlined by fellow reggae acts Damian "Junior Gong" Marley and Capleton. In this album Steel Pulse ventures further away from the dancehall persuasions apparent in their late 80's and early 90's work.
The album peaked at #9 on the 2004 Billboard Top Reggae Album charts.
The song "Born Fe Rebel" appears on the soundtrack of the game Tony Hawk's Underground 2.
The band released a music video in 2007 for the song "Door Of No Return" which was shot between Senegal and New York City. The video was produced by Driftwood Pictures Ltd.

Famous quotes containing the word african:
“Like dreaming, reading performs the prodigious task of carrying us off to other worlds. But reading is not dreaming because books, unlike dreams, are subject to our will: they envelop us in alternative realities only because we give them explicit permission to do so. Books are the dreams we would most like to have, and, like dreams, they have the power to change consciousness, turning sadness to laughter and anxious introspection to the relaxed contemplation of some other time and place.”
—Victor Null, South African educator, psychologist. Lost in a Book: The Psychology of Reading for Pleasure, introduction, Yale University Press (1988)
