Toxic Deass from Itzehoe in Schleswig-Holstein merge death and thrash metal with the poisonous intensity their name suggests since 2016. Their sound attacks with the combined venom of both genres from the banks of the Stör river.
Toxic Goat is a one-man black/thrash metal project from San Isidro, Argentina, founded by Varg Von Deviant in 2020 during the pandemic as a solo outlet for the style he felt was underrepresented in the Argentine underground. The project debuted with the EP "Hellish Thrash Metal" on July 27, 2020, and followed it with the first full-length "Crucifix Destroyer," home-recorded and released on September 4, 2021, drawing on the raw energy of Bathory, Venom, and early Slayer.
