WHIPLASH recently put the finishing touches on upcoming full-length Unborn Again.
The record, recorded at Mozart Studio with engineer/producer Harris Johns (Sodom, Kreator, Helloween, Sepultura) and mixed and mastered at Spiderhouse Studio in Berlin, is scheduled for release on July 15 via Pulverised Records.
The three-piece power trio formed in 1984 when Tony Portaro (guitar, vocals) and Tony Scaglione (drums) joined forces, recruited Tony Bono on bass and released their first CD, Power And Pain, in 1985 on Roadrunner Records. The debut CD was followed up by their first live performance at Ruthie's in Berkley, California with Possessed and Death Angel.
WHIPLASH's current lineup:
Tony Portaro - Guitar/Vocals
Joe Cangelosi (ex-Kreator, ex-Massacre ) - Drums
Rich Day Bass (ex-Primal Scream) - Bass
