Album Notes

Hailing from one of California's hotbeds, Los Angeles County, Neurotoxin is a 4-piece of young er guys pavig their way through the Metal scene with this more than exciting 7-track CD that marks their debut. What's weird is somehow they've captured that Brazilian sound like Korzus, Mutilator or Taurus but play in the foreshadow of gods like Forbidden, Heathen, Onslaught with older Megadeth and Metallica with a touch of Hardcore (old ST or D.R.I.) and German style elements of Midas Touch, D.A.M., Vendetta and Assassin. Truly an array of influences and styles but the songwriting is sold with tempo shifts and searing guitarwork, enough to wet the mouths of all metalheads and the elite purveyors that collect prime Grade A Thrash. This is probably one of the best Thrash cd's I've gotten in recent years that somehow captures the attention without being the redundant resurgence of the 80's since Neurotoxin does enough on their own to gap themselves from being a mimic or just-your-typical-band. These guys are of many bringing back true Metal on a comeback victory crusade.
