Toxic Holocaust - Gravelord [7''EP] (2009)

Toxic Holocaust mutated into existence in 1999, when Joel Grind merged his love for classic punk and metal into his ideal band. Like his influences - Bathory, Venom, English Dogs, Possessed, Broken Bones...
 Toxic Holocaust featured blazing riffs, gravel-throated vocals, and a deadly fixation on the evil in man and a post-apocalyptic world. Grind wrapped all of these elements up with a DIY attitude.

Toxic Holocaust has primarily been a one-man band, with Joel Grind performing all instruments and hiring various rotating live bands to back him on tour when he performs guitar and vocals. For the first release on Relapse Records, session drummer Donny Paycheck was utilized. After the recording Phil Zeller and Al Chambers of the Canadian band Rammer joined as permanent members. Chambers had previously played drums for TH on a Canadian tour in 2006.

Also prior to becoming a one man solo band, there was also previously two other unknown members who had appeared on the Radiation Sickness demo tape/CD-R. The two members were kicked out of the band shortly after and Toxic Holocaust had gone on hiatus.

Joel resurrected the band in 2001 and started recording lots of new material alone on his own in his bedroom, a method that took place on the recording of every studio release prior to An Overdose of Death...

Nopresion - Sobre Fosas Y Vampiros (1995)

 

Nopresion nace en junio de 1991 en Miranda del Ebro (Burgos) bajo el nombre de Gruesome, con este nombre logran grabar dos temas a modo de ensayo con 4 pistas que titulan “Parricide“, en mayo del 92 cambian de nombre y graban una maqueta de ocho pistas titulada también “Parricide“. En dicha maqueta, junto a Joan, Nando y Javi, se encontraba Oscar del Val (Dormanth)como guitarrista, más tarde su puesto sería ocupado por Roberto Rodríguez Labarga. Es en 1992 cuando fichan con el sello madrileño Hard Vinyl Records para así posteriormente editar bajo un sello subsidiario del mismo, expresamente creado para bandas de Thrash Metal y Hardcore llamado SMD Records, su álbum debut “Visión“, el cual se distribuye a nivel nacional e internacional en tres formatos diferentes: cassette, vinilo y CD.

Paralelamente la discográfica junto a la revista especializada de publicación mensual “Metal Hammer”, publicaría junto a su número de Julio de 1993, una Split tape con dos títulos de este su primer álbum, siendo estos, “Visión” y “Mutilado”. El formato sería compartido con las bandas “Aspid” y “Pleurosis”. Su potencia sonora dejaba ver muy claro lo que la banda estaba dispuesta a dar de sí.

Tras dos años de exito tocando en diferentes puntos de la geografía, incluso, recogiendo un premio a banda revelación en la revista “Heavy Rock”, entran en 1995 de nuevo a estudio para dar a luz su 2º larga duración titulado “Sobre Fosas y Vampiros”, también editado por SMD. El álbum sigue desarrollando la misma línea que tomaran en su álbum anterior pero en esta ocasión, la producción del mismo es mucho más rica y contundente así como la técnica y ejecución de los temas.
Marc González de Aspid colabora con su voz en varios temas de este disco.

Este 2º álbum vuelve a dar lugar a diversas actuaciones por todo el estado español en lo que ellos mismos llamaron el ''Sobre Fosas y Vampiros Tour 95 / 96'', compartiendo de nuevo cartel con diferentes bandas de reconocido nombre a nivel nacional.

Tras el Tour y con ánimos renovados comienzan a componer y ensayar lo que sería su tercer álbum de título aún entonces por definir. Esto, no impide que graben una segunda maqueta en los estudios “Ático Studio” de Miranda de Ebro, grabada, mezclada y masterizada en Julio de 1997. La cual llevaría el título de " 20 Minutos de Desorden ". Grabada, mezclada y masterizada por la propia banda, la intención es mostrar su nuevo trabajo a diferentes sellos discográficos; buscaban la firma de un nuevo contrato debido a la finalización del anterior con SMD Records por el descontento de la banda con el mismo.

Su tercer y último trabajo, “Hello!” con una dirección musical industrial, fue editado en 1999 por la propia banda, debido a cambios en la ubicación por parte de componentes de la banda, nuevas incorporaciones y nuevos retos, finalmente deciden cesar la actividad en 1999.

Horna - Viha Ja Viikate [EP] (2003)

 

Horna was formed in late 1993 under the name Shadowed, by vocalist and guitarist Shatraug and guitarist Moredhel. The name was changed to Horna when drummer Gorthaur joined the band in 1994. Horna did not start recording until early 1995.
 The first demo, Varjoissa, was released in September that year and sold out. In 1996, Nazgul von Armageddon took over vocal duties and the band recorded their first full-length album Hiidentorni in January 1997, resulting in a deal with the Greek label Solistitium Records. The band continued to release albums under this label through June 1998, when Moredhel and bassist Skratt left the band. Bassist Thanatos replaced Skratt soon afterwards, and Moredhel re-joined that August.
 In 1999, the band signed to Norwegian label Oskorei Productions for a vinyl-only release of the band's third album, Haudankylmyyden Mailla, and the band released a series of limited vinyl-only EPs and split albums through most of the early 2000s, with full-length studio albums coming out in the latter half of the decade. In 2002, Nazgul von Armageddon left the band, leaving vocal duties to Corvus.
 In July 2003, it was announced that guitarist Aarni T. Otava had left the group. Horna cited the loss of "dedication" as the reason behind his departure, and revealed that Horna's performance at 2003's Tuska Open Air Metal Festival would be their last with Otava handling guitar duties. In 2008 Horna embarked on an American tour. They played their first American show on Halloween 2008 at "The Black Castle" courtesy of underground promoter Chris "Hate War" Wood.
