OVERVIEW:
The Portuguese metal maniacs from TOXIKULL return with their 2nd full-length, following the critically acclaimed 2018 EP. They return with full force to lay down the law and show everybody what real metal is all about - even stronger, heavier, faster and more aggressive than before! 10 songs of pure evil metal, taking to the highest level the concepts of speed, heavy and thrash. There's no place for lame melodies, soft breaks or sentimental ballads all too common in today's non-offensive metal. The high-octane vocals, screaming guitar solos, killer speed riffs and a tight rhythm section will take no prisoners and destroy every soul that tries to resist the TOXIKULL's curse. It all happens in the summoning pit, and all dies in summoning pit. You can hear the sound of the sacred whip ripping off and punishing the human flesh, the prayers and the curses of the unfaithful lost souls, the blood dripping while the beast awaits... You can hear the musical form of hell. Get it if you're into JUDAS PRIEST, AGENT STEEL, RAM, MIDNIGHT PRIEST, ENFORCER, early HELLOWEEN and SCANNER, HELSTAR, EVIL INVADERS and MERCYFUL FATE!
