Vektor - Cosmic Cortex

 

Arizona's new heroes VECTOR made ​​me fall off the chair with its predecessor "Black Future". A unique blend of Technical Thrash and Speed ​​in which progressive clouds welling up as a liniment for the rough carpet of verbal primal scream, coils of jazz fusion that just strokes the cheek.

David DiSanto's voice is unique, an incredible intensity, can not recall that I have ever heard anything like this before and it is fantastic and fits in perfectly.

This is the most stand-out group the Thrash Metal scene right now!

Today's tune "Cosmic Cortex" is the opening track on the album, fasten your seatbelts, here we go!

Toxic Holocaust - Agony of The Damned

Last Saturday it was time for a real rock packages at Strand in Stockholm. Bands such as the heavy "The Secret", The Shredding "Toxic Holocaust", the doomish "Doom Riders" and the almighty "Kvelertak".

It was intended that "Trap Them" would be traveled in this tour, due to severe physical health issues "Trap Them" are forced to cancel their European tour with "Kvelertak". "Trap Them" was replaced by "The Secret".

I arrived this time as a private individual to the venue, stepped into the end of The Secret's set. Sounded hard, dark but I heard insufficient to form an impression of them Italians.

Once it was time for Toxic Holocaust, it became pace in the house, seemed to be more than I that was curious to hear them live, and damn what it went away, simple with powerful riffs in a fast and very comfortable Speed. A very well made ​​gig, nice gang to see live.

Toxic Holocaust are a thrash metal band from Portland, Oregon. Influenced by punk rock and heavy metal bands of the 1980s such as Slayer, Exodus, Black Flag, Discharge among others. Joel Grind founded Toxic Holocaust in 1999. He originally wrote and recorded all of the band's music himself, and after a couple demo releases (Radiation Sickness, 1999; Critical Mass, 2002), he made his official full-length album debut as Toxic Holocaust with Evil Never Dies (2003). Two years later, after some touring with a hired backing band, Grind released the second Toxic Holocaust album, Hell on Earth (2005), which once again he wrote and recorded by himself. The album notably features cover art by Ed Repka, known for having created iconic covers for albums by Megadeth, Death and others. Extensive touring followed, along with a recording contract with Relapse Records. In addition to releasing the third Toxic Holocaust album, An Overdose of Death... (2008), Relapse reissued Evil Never Dies and Hell on Earth.
Conjure and Command is the fourth and latest album, released on July 19, 2011. This will be the first release featuring a full band in the studio instead of Joel Grind performing all instruments and vocals himself.

Here are some photos from the gig:

Anthrax - Fight Em Til You Can't

 

Anthrax is an American heavy metal band from New York City, formed in 1981. Founded by guitarists Scott Ian and Danny Lilker, the band has since released 9 studio albums and 20 singles, and an EP featuring Public Enemy. The band was one of the most popular of the 1980s thrash metal scene. When thrash metal began to gain a major following in the mid-to-late 1980s, Anthrax were dubbed one of the "big four" of thrash metal alongside Metallica, Megadeth, and Slayer. They were also one of the early thrash metal bands to sign to a major label (Island Records, in 1985).

The band lineup has been changed numerous times; following the departure of drummer Dave Weiss and bassist Kenny Kushner, several musicians replaced both band members' roles, though Paul Kahn and Greh Walls were the first to do so. In addition to this aspect, there were multiple vocalists involved in Anthrax, with Neil Turbin, Joey Belladonna and John Bush being among the frontmen of the band. Scott Ian and Charlie Benante are the only constant members that are on every album but Frank Bello is considered a constant as well.

Worship Music is the upcoming tenth studio album by Anthrax. It is their first album of original material since 2003's We've Come for You All and was to be the first to feature vocalist Dan Nelson. It was originally set to be released in May 2009. Later, however, it was announced that Joey Belladonna would perform vocals for the album, making this the first Anthrax album to feature Belladonna on vocals since 1990's Persistence of Time. Worship Music will be released on September 13, the day before the band plays The Big 4 show at Yankee Stadium.

Todays tune "Fight 'Em 'Til You Can't" will be the leadoff track on Anthrax's Worship Music album, enjoy!
