Toxpack formed in Berlin, Germany in 2001 under frontman Daniel "Schulle" Schulz, who coined the term "Streetcore" to describe the band's fusion of punk, hardcore, and heavy metal drawn from street-level working-class culture. The band's prolific output on Napalm Records spans nine albums from their debut Stadtgeflüster (2001) through Kämpfer (2019) and the 20th anniversary compilation Zwanzig.Tausend Volt (2022). NPR cited them as setting the standard for the Streetcore style, and their consistency over two decades has made them a defining act within the German punk-metal underground.
