Following a solid year of relentless stage pollution, TOXIC HOLOCAUST will enter the studio later this Winter to record the as-yet-untitled follow-up to their 2011 Conjure And Command full-length.
โAfter taking a much-needed break from touring and finally being able to enjoy life outside the confines of a van,โ details band mastermind Joel Grind, โthings have come back in full swing and Iโve been working nonstop writing the new TOXIC record for Relapse Records. Things are coming along great itโs a bit too early to tell for sure but it seems like this record will encompass all of TOXICโs past recordings while building on that as well and moving forward. I canโt wait to get into the studio to record this!โ
Praised for its โnuclear reactive riffage and Repo Man punk attitude,โ by Revolver and commended for its โtar-thick riffage, staggering breakdowns, and a corroded dose of self-loathing,โ by The Onionโs A.V. Club, Conjure And Command continues to reap hails from fans and critics globally. As an added bonus, the band closed the year with the honor of having the song โBitchโ rear its sonic apocalyptic menace in an episode of high-rated FX drama series Sons Of Anarchy (season 5; episode 11).
TOXIC HOLOCAUST mutated into existence in 1999, when Joel Grind merged his love for classic punk and metal and the flash of L.A. hard rock into his ideal band. Like his influences โ Bathory, Venom, English Dogs, Possessed, Broken Bones โ TOXIC HOLOCAUST offers up blazing riffs, gravel-throated vocals, and a deadly fixation on the evil in man and a post-apocalyptic world wrapped in a DIY attitude.
โIf The Exploited and Nuclear Assault had a kid, TOXIC HOLOCAUST would take its lunch money and toss it in the dumpster.โ โ Hails & Horns
