Bio:
Heavy Metal band from Portugal founded in 2011.Back in 1985, bands across the globe started injecting more and more speed into their sound in order to keep up with the competition. Speed Metal as a sub-genre can be thought of perhaps as the purest form of Heavy Metal's second wave. Unlike Thrash, there was no influence of Punk, and the blueprint simply was outdoing JUDAS PRIEST in speed and savagery. To hear a band be able to pull off authentic Speed Metal without coming across as pretentious or derivative is not only refreshing but also hopeful. TOXIKULL have a sound that could have been brewed in a rehearsal space in the mid 1980s, yet the band only formed in 2016 in Portugal.
Album:
Dying Victims Productions is proud to present TOXIKULL’s highly anticipated fourth album, Turbulence, on CD and vinyl LP formats.Formed in 2016, Portugal’s TOXIKULL have established themselves as one of the most unrelenting forces in the European heavy metal scene. Known for a high-energy blend of traditional heavy metal and speed metal, the band is rooted in the classic ‘80s spirit but delivers it with an aggressive, contemporary edge.After building a strong reputation through explosive live shows and uncompromising attitude, TOXIKULL solidified their status with the release of 2019’s Cursed and Punished and 2024’s critically acclaimed Under the Southern Light. Their momentum continued to build with the 2025 release of the live album Echoes of the Arena, a testament to their live power that crashed into the Portuguese Top 100 music charts.Now arrives TOXIKULL’s hotly anticipated fourth full-length, Turbulence, the band's highly anticipated third full-length album. Turbulence represents a maturity in the quartet’s songwriting, blending the raw aggression of speed metal with the melodic grandeur of classic heavy metal. An album forged in fire and resistance, exploring themes of inner struggle and the unconquerable spirit of the metal warrior, the 10-song / 39-minute record bursts at the seams with electricity and excitement, continuing the arena-ready swagger of its predecessor proudly. From the high-octane opener “Midnight Fire” to the bountiful anthemic choruses, Turbulence proves that TOXIKULL arenot just paying homage to the past; they are forging the future of traditional steel – bigger, bolder, and better than before. With a production that cuts like a blade (courtesy of Jamie Gomez Arellano, who’s worked with Ghost, Mayhem, Opeth, Behemoth, Angel Witch, Moonspell, and many others) and a performance tighter than ever, this album is a call to arms for maniacs worldwide.For those who somehow slept on Under the Southern Light, TOXIKULL carry the noble torch of Judas Priest, WASP, Accept, and Manowar but with a distinctly southern European flair. "We raise our chalices to the all the Toxikheads, the believers, the dreamers, and those who keep the eternal flame of heavy metal burning,” state the band, “this record is dedicated to you. It is your passion that fuels our engine and makes this journey possible. Turbulence stands as a testament to our journey, proof that every scar can be turned into art, and every struggle into power – to the lessons learned and to the people who were the catalyst for the themes of this record.”
