How Bad Do You Want It?

In 1986, during the great days of the demo, BAD HABIT produced and recorded their first release, which was self-titled. Legendary Metal producer and gifted songwriter Oscar Holleman then took the band under his wing. Holleman is credited with producing over three hundred albums, including work by Helloween, Vengeance, Nailpin, After Forever and Salems Lot, on such labels as Warner Bros., Capitol, Universal, Epitaph and Nuclear Blast.

Most Dutch bands, with the obvious exceptions of Golden Earring and Pestilence, have had trouble getting their music heard outside of the Netherlands. Unfortunately, BAD HABIT was no exception. Many Dutch Heavy Metal historians have suggested that if the group had been able to break into the American market, they would have had the success that Mercyful Fate and Fastway enjoyed, and perhaps even reached the level of Iron Maiden. However, BAD HABIT did not tour North America, nor did they get much press or radio play in the United States. This demo compilation marks the f.
