Toxic Holocaust was formed in 1998 by multi-instrumentalist and vocalist Joel Grind. Grind performed all instruments on the band's first few albums, and in 2019 he's reverting back to exactly that.
Toxic Holocaust has announced its first new record in six years titled Primal Future: 2019 which is due out on October 4. Here's what Grind had to say about the reversion back to a solo project, as well as how he feels about the new music.
"When I started the band in 1999, I never imagined I'd still be doing it in 2019. It's been a long time coming but the new album is finally ready and it's sort of a culmination of my past twenty years of doing this band. Most notably, I decided to go back to my roots and record this entire album by myself and play all of the instruments like I did in the early days. It was a lot of fun and nostalgic and at the same time exciting to be able to apply everything I've learned over the years."
Primal Future: 2019 was recorded, mixed, and mastered by Grind with artwork by Steve Crisp. Toxic Holocaust will also hit the road this September through November with Gwar, Sacred Reich, and Against The Grain.
