Havok

A four piece thrash metal band from Colorado, who take influences from different genres of music including jazz, punk and classical. The band, who formed in 2004. self-released two albums before catching the attention of England’s Candlelight Records and third album, Burn, was released in early spring of 2009. Incorporating blisteringly fast guitar riffs, machine-like drumming, groovy bass lines, searing leads, and hard-hitting vocals, Havok is able to maintain that punch-you-in-the-throat style of music. Fast forward to 2011 and the Denver-based thrashers return with their second album. The band turns the heat up with new thrash anthems. Time Is Up immediately showcases the band’s highly skilled musicianship. Blistering guitar work once again highlights the album.

Swiss thrashers XONOR emerged during the pandemic, rapidly gaining a diverse global following through their unique sonic identity combining provocative lyrics with engaging song structures and hooks.
