Toxic Flesh is a death metal band from London, formed in 2019. Their music delivers visceral and aggressive death metal with the raw, corrosive energy their name suggests.
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.
Toxic Hate is a Brutal Death Metal band from Mexico City, formed in 2008 and currently signed to Concreto Records. The band released their debut full-length Poisoned Nations Holocaust in 2012, a nine-track record built around themes of war, extinction, and political desperation. They appeared on the Azermedoth Records Death Metal Compilation Vol. 1 in 2018.
Portland, Oregon's Toxic Holocaust are one of the definitive names in the blackened speed and thrash metal revival, led by Joel Grind since 2002, forging a rawly produced and ferociously energetic sound that draws equally from early Sodom, Bathory, and Motörhead.
Orlando's Toxic Intent, formed in 2023, crash crossover thrash and straight-up thrash together into a ferocious and streamlined package, playing with the short-song urgency of hardcore and the technical riffing of thrash in equal measure.
A death and thrash metal band from Columbus, Florida, formed in 2019, Toxic Megacolon embrace both the clinical precision of death metal and the aggressive groove of thrash, delivering their extreme metal with a blunt, unpolished edge and a name that dares you to take them seriously.
Ripping Speed / Thrash Metal from Lubbock.
A thrash metal act out of the Quad Cities area, formed in 2024, Toxic Messiah arrive with the high-energy riff attack and confrontational attitude that define the genre's new wave, adding another entry to the Midwest's growing thrash revival.
Toxic Mind from Bocholt near the Dutch border deliver death metal channeling the poisoned psyche their name evokes since 2022. Their Westphalian border-town origin adds a cross-cultural edge to their mentally unhinged approach to brutality.
