Portland’s favorite Punk/Metal delinquents TOXIC HOLOCAUST are featured on the 'From The Ashes Of Nuclear Destruction' compilation that was released earlier this week via Relapse Records.
The monolithic 22-track anthology compiles over a decade’s worth of TOXIC HOLOCAUST rarities into one maniacal compilation of hostile bliss. Amassing the band’s many contributions to various comps and vinyl-only splits with the likes of Municipal Waste, Midnight and others, alongside demo versions of timeless TOXIC classics, 'From The Ashes Of Nuclear Destruction' is a historic romp through the history of one of today’s most revered Punk Metal deviants.

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 offers up blazing riffs, gravel-throated
vocals, and a deadly fixation on the evil in man and a post-apocalyptic
world wrapped in a DIY attitude.
Portland’s favorite Punk/Metal delinquents TOXIC HOLOCAUST recently unleashed a NEW lyric video for “Agony of the Damned.” Initially featured on the band’s 2011 'Conjure and Command' full-length, “Agony Of The Damned” makes an “updated” appearance on the 'From The Ashes Of Nuclear Destruction' compilation, set for release via Relapse Records next month.
Elaborates band mastermind Joel Grind: “This version of ‘Agony of the Damned’ was recorded in September of 2010 with a drum machine a few months before we stepped into the studio to record the one that appears on 'Conjure and Command'. When making an album, I usually demo out the entire thing before I step into a studio. This keeps costs low and gives me time to sit with it to iron out the details. Since 'Conjure and Command' was the first TOXIC record to feature a full band, this demo served the purpose of familiarizing everyone with the new material and is previously unreleased.”
Lay your peepers on the video now!
'From The Ashes Of Nuclear Destruction' is a gargantuan 22-track anthology that compiles over a decade’s worth of TOXIC HOLOCAUST rarities into one raging compilation of antagonistic bliss. Amassing the band’s many contributions to various comps and vinyl-only splits with the likes of Municipal Waste, Midnight and others, alongside demo versions of treasured TOXIC classics, 'From The Ashes Of Nuclear Destruction' is a historic romp through the history of one of today’s most revered, gritty, old-school Metal bands.
'From The Ashes Of Nuclear Destruction' will see release through Relapse Records on April 2nd in North America, March 29th in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Finland and Benelux and April 1st in the UK. Additionally, you can check out the 'From The Ashes Of Nuclear Destruction' teaser video and ordering info HERE.
TOXIC HOLOCAUST is currently in the studio working on the as-yet-untitled follow-up to their 2011 'Conjure And Command' full-length. Praised for its “nuclear reactive riffage and Repo Man punk attitude,” by Revolver and commended for its “tar-thick riffage, staggering breakdowns, and a corroded dose of self-loathing,” by The Onion’s A.V. Club, 'Conjure And Command' continues to reap hails from fans and critics globally. As an added bonus, the band closed the year with the honor of having the song “Bitch” rear its sonic apocalyptic menace in an episode of high-rated FX drama series Sons Of Anarchy (season 5; episode 11).

PRONG is currently in the midst of a short UK and European tour celebrating the 20th anniversary of their landmark 'Beg To Differ' album. Decibel Magazine has lauded that album for "Breaking sacred ground and directing where Heavy Music would inevitably head for the rest of the 90's." In addition, they are playing classics from their catalog as well as material from their recent 'Carved Into Stone' album. Joining mainman Tommy Victor and drummer Alexei Rodriguez are bass players Matt Brunson of Crowbar and former Cradle of Filth bassist Dave Pybus.
Tommy explained the presence of not one but two well know bassists.
"Since Tony Campos (who has been touring with the band and played on Carved Into Stone) is touring with Soulfly, we've had to tour with other bass players. Everyone who has toured with us so far has been fantastic and brought their own personal style to Prong. Phil Zeller from Toxic Holocaust did the Crowbar tour. Jason Rapesi who has played with Stone Sour did a few shows with us before that. We were heading to Europe and the guy we had couldn't do it in the eleventh hour. Rather than cancel, our friend Matt Brunson from Crowbar stepped in and learned the entire Beg To Differ album in a day and a half! Then we found out that Dave Pybus who has played with Cradle of Filth, was going to be the tech on the tour. As it turned out, Dave is a massive PRONG fan! He learned some of the other songs and has been joining Alexei and I onstage every night. Now we have two great bass players each night! This tour has been a blast!"
PRONG will resume tearing up the road in the US this July for a string of shows with the legendary Maryland Rockers Clutch.

The madness will commence on May 18 in Vancouver, British Columbia and roll for nearly three-weeks before coming to a close in Phoenix, Arizona.
Comments band leader Joel Grind: “We've had a few months off. I spent that time writing and recording a lot of NEW songs, but it's getting near that time to hit the road again and this time it's with our good friends and fellow Satanic demigods, Midnight. This is a tour that was conceived way back in 2007 but just finally came into fruition. Get ready for the onslaught coming your way!”

Portland, Oregon Punk Metal miscreants TOXIC HOLOCAUST are pleased to announce an additional run of dates with New York street punks The Casualties. The tour will serve as an extension to an already bludgeoning stretch of shows alongside English Dogs, The Casualties and Havok, set to commence on February 10 in Baltimore.
TOXIC HOLOCAUST will be touring in support of the infinitely punishing 'Conjure And Command' full-length released via Relapse Records last year. The record, which Revolver championed for its “equal parts nuclear reactive riffage and Repo Man Punk attitude,” continues to earn critical accolades. Cvlt Nation noted: “TOXIC HOLOCAUST have given fans a record that they will be able to devour now and for fucking years to come,” and The Onion’s A.V. Club opined: “sweetly redolent of Thrash, d-beat, and raw sewage, the album simmers with tar-thick riffage, staggering breakdowns, and a corroded dose of self-loathing,.” The Washingcity Paper agreed saying: “…it’s refreshing to hear a Thrash band that is so single-minded about its whirlwind riffs and pastor-baiting lyrics,” while Hails & Horns praised: “If The Exploited and Nuclear Assault had a kid, TOXIC HOLOCAUST would take it’s lunch money and toss it in the dumpster.”
'Conjure And Command' is out now internationally and available across several formats including a limited edition, deluxe CD and DVD set that includes a full TOXIC HOLOCAUST live show. The album is available for purchase through Relapse and iTunes (links below). In addition, check out the iTunes bonus track from the record -- a cover of Repulsion’s “Helga Lost Her Head” –- at the band’s OFFICIAL FACEBOOK PAGE.
