Toxic Shock – TwentyLastCentury LP/CD

Beschreibung

Holy Moly – this is a neckbreaker. Known from several quality releases (split with Iron Reagan) the belgium powerhouse Toxic Shock pushed their boundaries once again. No compromises! And so they went to bed with the godfather of metal producing Flemming Rasmussen (Metallica & Co.) to get things right for Twentylastcentury. They combine all good things of end of the 80s with good old hardcore like Suicial Tendencies did on their first two records. So you have Flanger Intros, loco-whispering, furious moshparts, fast circle pit parts. The LA-Mentality of late 80s Venice Beach. So if you dig razorsharp Guitars and cool groovy mosher like Leeway did you will did this 100% – Gangshouts, aggressive basslines, crazy leads and a fitting singer makes this a must have for all crossover maniacs out there. Listen to Toxic Shock and you will not bail the mctwist anymore – Promised!

Rock Tribune (BE) — 8/10

“One of the most energetic livebands from Belgium is back with a second album. Some nicely blended Metallica and Suicidal Tendencies influences here and a lot of own input… We’re happy with this album, it will get the name Toxic Shock out there even more.”

Metal Sucks (USA)

“You should still be totally stoked on Twentylastcentury. Why? Because it’s one of 2017’s best thrash releases, that’s why. It was produced by Flemming Rasmussen, which gives you some idea of what the record has in store for you.”

Grizzly Butts (USA)

“Toxic Shock don’t just piss out random hardcore riffs and throw in a few metal solos and call it an album, these guys have an edge on just about every other band out there today with their songwriting ability. The true test of any punk rock or heavy metal combination isn’t getting the sound or production right, it is straight up songwriting and these guys are amazing. The quality of ‘Twentylastcentury’ never dips or fucks up across 38 minutes, in fact the amount of variety and personality on display makes it hard to believe this isn’t lifted directly from 1987.”
