Portland punk metal day-ruiners, TOXIC HOLOCAUST, will team up with death metal gore tacticians/labelmates, Exhumed, for a venomous trek through Europe next year! The extreme tag team will traverse the continent for an entire month leaving a trail of molten metal bangovers and beer cans in their wake.
Said TOXIC mastermind Joel Grind of the upcoming invasion, "I'm very excited to slaughter Europe with fellow maniacs Exhumed! No country will be left unviolated..."
Adds Exhumed's Matt Harvey: "We're super psyched for this run with our fellow mutants in TOXIC HOLOCAUST - should be a rager! We look forward to splattering your senses, drinking your beer and damaging a large number of our brain cells next Spring!"
In related news, TOXIC HOLOCAUST, who recently appeared on the cover of the December 2013 issue of Decibel Magazine, will feature in the next issue's limited edition flexi series with the track "Life Is A Lie." The tune is currently streaming at MetalSucks at THIS LOCATION. Order the January 2014 edition of Decibel magazine HERE to claim your flexi now!

TOXIC HOLOCAUST mutated into existence in 1999, when Joel Grind merged his love for classic punk and metal into his ideal band. Like his influences - Bathory, Venom, English Dogs, Possessed, Broken Bones - 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.
"..one of thrash's most exciting modern bands..." - Loudwire
"...the aural equivalent of a cobra with a chest tattoo of a double helix and syringes for fangs getting ready to strike amidst two flesh-like walls of anxious, bloodshot eyes..." - MetalSucks
"Grind pierces the veil with increased vigor on songs about government overreach ('International Conspiracy'), covert mind control experiments ('MK Ultra') and the hive mind mentality (the title track).... He's also smart enough to recognize the symmetry between a song's title and lyrics (ie Venom's 'To Hell and Back,' Metallica's 'Master Of Puppets,' 95 percent of Motörhead's catalog) is enough to transform it into an anthem. 'Out Of The Fire' and 'Deny The Truth' are metal-with-a-capital-M and easily the best songs to come out of the TOXIC HOLOCAUST camp since Grind transitioned from a solo project to a full band approach in 2009......" - Decibel
"...if there ever was a band to be the soundtrack for the end of mankind and society it would beTOXIC HOLOCAUST." - Skullbanger
"...another stellar record in TOXIC HOLOCAUST's discography." - Metal Observer
"...hands down one of the coolest crossover albums put to tape. Rage!" -- Apeshit
