Leave a comment

Cover

It took several delays, but new seventh album by Agent Steel is out finally! Although of the founding members only singer Johnny Cyriis is left in the band, this is no matter for the ferocity and intensity of the music. New record contains 11 songs one being kinda intro. Music of Agent Steel is power/speed metal with fast and aggressive guitar work, melodic hooks and epic solos, fast drumming and trademark vocals courtesy of Johnny Cyriis. Thematically band delves in the lyrics about space, extraterrestrial life, conspiracies in the deep state and similar merry topics. Some of the songs will really make you pump fist in the air like awesome Crypts Of Galactic Damnation or The Devil´s Greatest Trick being my personal favorites. This one is an awesome album and it was worth waiting so many years since the last full length album. Welcome back legends!

8/10

Portuguese speed metallers Toxikull have just released the video for the track “Nightraiser”, off the album with the same name. Featuring a dark and raw tone, inspired by videos from the 80’s filled with grain and contrast, it captures and illustrates the old-school and aggressive musical style the band plays.

The video was recorded by Tomás Carraca at Another Place (Almada, Portugal). Edited by Miguel Carrapiço.

“The Nightraiser” will be released on March 23rd worldwide by Mosher Records and Firecum Records and is already available for pre-order through the labels’ websites.

After 2016’s surprise by the shape of “Black Sheep”, Toxikull return with the incredible EP “The Nightraiser” (Mosher / Firecum Records). “The Nightraiser” is a relentless sonic attack that evokes the best elements that made heavy, speed and thrash metal so popular: impressive vocals, a tight rhythm section, blazing guitar solos and carefully crafted melodies.
Fearless, taunting, leather-jacket wearing maniacals Toxikull are a quintet from Cascais, Portugal, who play their metal heavy and fast! Fronted by the brothers Lex Thunder and Michael Blade, Toxikull is one of the most promising european underground bands, when it comes to heavy/ speed/thrash, mostly due to the high energy display during their live gigs.
