Ever since 1999, Toxic Holocaust has essentially been Joel Grind. The band's first 2 albums, those being Evil Never Dies and Hell On Earth, were performed entirely by Grind himself. Then An Overdose Of Death, Conjure and Command and Chemistry of Consciousness were done as a trio, and now 4 years after the latter, Toxic Holocaust will once again return to being a solo effort!
Well, a solo effort in the studio anyway. Toxic Holocaust is currently working on a brand new album to come out likely next year, and will return to its usual trio self when it comes to live performances.
“New Toxic album is about 90% finished, still need to finish up some arrangements and some lyrics but it’s getting close. Once everything is dialed in I hope to start recording in February.
It’s shaping up to be a little more fist pumping and rock n roll than previous stuff but still kinda has that D-beat shit going on from the last record. No wimp out, still gonna be raw and gross.
Also, this will sort of be a return to the origins of the band in a way as it will be a solo effort like back in the old days. I get a lot of questions and requests about doing a solo record again (ala Evil Never Dies and Hell on Earth…hence the Yellowgoat record) so I thought it would be a cool change and something different than what most bands do. This doesn’t effect the lineup, they will still be playing live with the band.

So who's stoked for new Toxic Holocaust?
