ENGLISH DOGS
Listen

In 1984 I joined The English Dogs and then we had one aim in mind , to fuse together Punk and Metal together and create something new and exciting. Bringing together precise crisp riffing and soaring leads with powerful politically charged lyrics. We took the chance and found ourselves with a growing following of like minded people and a new cult began . The success of "Forward into Battle" took us all by surprise and after a near legendary tour of the USA we discovered that bands like Metallica and Exodus were loving what we were doing but we were already huge fans of theirs!!! Since then we have received awesome compliments from Sepultura , Arch enemy ,Machine Head , Napalm Death , Darkthrone , Municipal Waste and so on.

THE CASUALTIES


There are some punk bands that sing about social issues, while others prefer the lighter subjects in life such as drinking and partying. It's safe to say that New York hardcore veterans THE CASUALTIES can now be categorized as a punk band that sings about both.

TOXIC HOLOCAUST


TOXIC HOLOCAUST mutated into existence in 1999, when Joel Grind merged his love for classic punk and metal and the flash of L.A. hard rock into his ideal band. Like his influences - Bathory, Venom, English Dogs, Possessed, Broken Bones - TOXIC HOLOCAUST featured blazing riffs, gravel-throated vocals, and a deadly fixation on the evil in man and a post-apocalyptic world. Grind wrapped all of these elements up with a DIY attitude and begin writing and recording material almost instantly. In anticipation of the new release, TOXIC HOLOCAUST has already begun touring in support of An Overdose Of Death….The band is currently out on the North American AT THE GATES reunion tour along with DARKEST HOUR and MUNICIPAL WASTE. TOXIC HOLOCAUST will then follow-up the AT THE GATES tour with an appearance at the Hole In The Sky Festival in Norway and a Fall tour with OVERKILL.

HAVOK


Although there are many other thrash bands out there, there is one thing that sets HAVOK apart from the others. This band puts their own stamp on the genre by employing a more technical side of music, while maintaining the feel. HAVOK's live show is where the band really catches peoples' attention, with their non-stop energy level and their ability to get the audience involved. They are a must-see for any fan of live music!
