Joel Grind is one of the most humble musicians in metal, every time I've seen him live he remembers me and we have a good lengthy chat. Love the man and his band.
I went to a Toxic Holocaust show once, and it was the craziest show I've ever experienced. Crowd went nuts, people moshing, stagediving and crowdsurfing. It was that intense, that one of the guys in the crowd broke down the bass. What a night!
It's all about how it sounds not how technical it is. It is good to play hard riffs for practice but if it's so hard that you just sound like shit when you try to play it you should probably tone it down a notch
in my opinion Joel Grind is a great musician because he writes all his music so he just hire musicians for videos and live presentations... inspirational.
Reminds me of his own blend of old skool Kreator mostly on this one! High Praise! I used to work for Relapse Records... toxic h. Has come a LONG WAY! 🤘
Wow...I grew up in the 80's and these guys get it.--first band I've seen since all the interest in 'bringing back' the 80's style that really get it...instant classic.
This comment is really old now but what do you think of his vocals on the new record? I think they compliment the album really well even though I like his semi black metal delivery also
I was just thinking about hs and remembered walking down the halls and always seeing him around. Had to come and take a listen again. Glad he made/did something so awesome.
The fact these dudes come from Portland Oregon where I’m from makes me so proud 😎 Portlands Metal scene is pretty awesome, small but impactful. Love you Portland!
I grew up in the Seattle area, I’m 56 and still listen to metal church, onslaught, venom. killer killer music here, Joel kills it every time, thanks for the great music Joel, up the horns man, keep on doing what your doing 🤘🤘🤘
Met the guys in Singapore in like 2004 or 2005 dont really remember. It was in a small bar in Paradigm tower where many metal gigs would happen. The vocalist was real nice, he even game me a tape "Singapore/Malaysia Attack 2004" pretty fucking sweet. These guys truly worked their way up the ladder and im happy to see how far they've got.... gj guys keep it up!! \m/
This song rocks! Also, I love the hairstyle of the vocalist, Joel Grind. It really fits well with the band's esthetic of being mad scientists in a chemical power plant.
Why the fuck are people even complaining for? Obviously, (to all of you who think this isn't metal) It's metal. Its thrash, but with a huge punk influence back ground. Just because this song doesn't have a solo, automatically doesn't make it metal. You can argue all you want, but the style Joel makes in my opinion pretty kick ass and is pretty much metal.
Though we leave we're never through If you help to keep metal alive !The underground will always survive! I pledge: to keep it alive I promise: metal will thrive I swear: myself to the cause I'll teach: all the metal laws - Razor - Iron Hammer
Tell me how are they ruining rock/metal? have you heard any of their songs? I'm not a huge fan of them but they're not all bad. they have some talent you have to admit.
Saw these guys live when I was in grade 7. Blonde guy was actually really cool and was just out in the crowd after he played and actually just hung around and talked about each band in-between with me, my dad and brother. Pretty cool looking back at it.
Does anyone out there remember, back in the myspace days, Joel had a page for Toxic Holocaust on myspace and before this song came out on this album there was a version of it on that page? Ever since he took it off I cant seem to find it. I've looked and looked. Has anyone else ever heard this version im talking about? It was a bit more raw. I really want to here it again.
John Gonzalez check out From the Ashes of Nuclear Destruction, it’s like a collection of demos and stuff from split records. They have a version of Nuke the Cross on there that might be what you’re looking for
