Best Old school Metal around!!!

bri762

Toxic holocaust rules! It is just one guy and hired Drummers and it is the best new ole school metal out there, No complex leads just killer rhythms. This is the way thrash should be! They opened for Danzig here in Albuquerque and they are so fun everyone really seemed to dig them! buttons and patches with old banged up guitars and Joel proves that you can make some of the best riffs right in your cramped little bedroom! The album covers are cool to. Original like when it started in the 80s. Wish there were more bands like this. Thrash rules!

Just take a gander at their name, their logo, and the album cover art of their 2008 release, Overdose of Death. Yep, Portland, OR’s Toxic Holocaust certainly have a soft spot for vintage ’80- era thrash metal. And although thrash bands are usually comprised of several members, Toxic Holocaust is one of the few (only?) thrash bands that is led by a single, multi-instrumental gentleman, who “pulls a Prince,” and supplies everything but the drums — Joel Grind. Overseen by renowned producer Jack Endino, Overdose of Death is custom-made for the cut-off denim jacket/white high top/mullet-wearing set, as it’s loaded with speedy riffs, shouted/growled vocals, and lyrically, all the prerequisite topics for ’80s thrash are touched upon (armageddon, nuclear holocaust, death, etc.). As with all great thrash bands, just pick the most “colorful” song titles, and be prepared to get throttled — “Nuke the Cross,” “In the Name of Science,” and “Feedback, Blood, and Distortion” are all rapid-fire screecher-keepers. – Greg Prato
