Toxic Holocaust Debuts New Song At a Recent Show.

Joel Grind and the boys are in the midst of their short tour to gear up for the release of the new album of which we don't yet know the name. And as bands do when they go on tour before an album releases they guys debuted a new track called ' I am Disease'. And there is video evidence of course. The sound and video quality isn't too bad here. But I think it's clear that Joel's voice is alot different live then on an album. Check out the numbskull who decides to go stagedive and bumps into the mic as Joel is about to sing. Pretty smart to not start a fight about it seeing as it is in Brooklyn.

Metal can be fun again

The past month or so I've kind of been on another mission to check out new bands or at least new to me. And by god I've found a couple. Both of these bands are sort of a throwback to the glory days of 80's underground metal. Back when it was fun,evil,and not too thought provoking. Let the eye rolling begin as I share my discoveries.

First up is 3 Inches of Blood out of Canada. Thanks to my buddy Randy over at the Official Metal Show for turning me onto these guys. This is sword and sorcery falsetto metal at it's finest. I love me some cheese if it's done well and these guys deliver.Take Rob Halford Painkiller era vocals,Accept like riffs, and Manowar style lyrics and you got a whole ball of fun.Check it out on their latest vid off Here Waits Thy Doom cd.



They had a screaming second vocalist for previous releases but he left before this release. Check them out if you're not a snob and just want to scream along to some old timey metal.

Next up we have Toxic Holocaust from Portland Oregon. This guys are part of the ret thrash movement along with Munincipal Waste and to some extent Skeletonwitch. You can tell this because all of their logos have this graffiti style font. Anyways....this band is what you would get if you had sleaze rock looks, Kill em all riffs,and Bathory vocals. I see alot of negative comments made about these guys but they hit my G spot so whatever. Here is the Wild Dogs video off their latest cd "An Overdose of Death".



Both of these bands are a breath of fresh air for me from all the serious no fun stuff I've been hearing lately.Or maybe I'm just trying to recapture my youth.
