Töxik Death - Sepulchral Demons (High Roller Records) Review by Steve Thomas-Green Whilst I’m prepared give Norway’s Töxik Death 10 out of 10 for perseverance, I’m actually amazed they’ve made it this far. Formed in 2003, they took un�l 2014 un�l they released their debut album. Which personally, I think sounds awful. Band members leave, and 3 new ones arrive in 2016… And then it’s a 4 year wait un�l album number 2 arrives, in the shape of Sepulchral Demons. So a�er a pre�y crappy band history that has stretched out for 17 years, how the hell did they make such an amazing new album!!!!!! Ok, albummay be stretching things a li�le too far, it’s 7 tracks over about 33 minutes… but what a fun-packed 33 minutes they are. So put on your favourite Slayer shirt, your trusty bullet belt, maybe you camo trousers, baseball boots and denim jacket with old school patches (Cel�c Frost, Onslaught, Sepultura etc…) … now you’re ready for Sepulchral Demons. This beasts just fires track a�er track of breakneck Metal, dirty, crusty beats, bea�ng the shit out of you and in Henning Haugland, they have a vocalist who fits the music perfectly. On one hand this feels like an old school Metal album, but it’s also very vibrant and doesn’t sound dated, at all. I’m sure this will be an album that everyone will see a li�le differently, according to their own personal tastes, but whatever you want to call it, Retro-Thrash, Black-Thrash, D-Beat, Hardcore Thrash… it’s a balls to the wall Metal album and one that I love. I genuinely hope that this version of the band stays together and that they get the recogni�on they deserve for this album… I have to wade through a lot of shit to find the gems and this one’s a definite keeper. h�ps://www.facebook.com/ToxikDeath h�ps://toxikdeath.bandcamp.com h�ps://www.hrrecords.de h�ps://www.facebook.com/hrrecords
