Bosnian Death Metal machine Toxicdeath incarnated itself in septembre, 2000. with the intention to forge Death Metal in
its purest form. After few rehearsals, the band recorded their first raw demo called "Daemo of madness" (incl. three of
their songs & two covers:"Alter reality" - Nocturnus & "Black Metal" - Venom). Demo had gained some very good critics in
the Bosnian DM underground. Second demo entitled: "Pathfinder" was finished in January 2001. Songs were Brutal DM but this
time with a lot of progressive elements, which fully presented technical skills of this young band. "Pathfinder" also
gained excellent critics in many domestic magazines and had a lot of great reviews in many international �zines.
First Live appearance came up in February,2001. at the local club in their hometown � Tuzla (BIH). In the 2002. band
played a lot of gigs in Bosnia and very soon had collected recordings for their Live CD, later entitled as "Live till
Death". First own show (in January,2003.) took place in a Bosnian Capitol - Sarajevo at the Rock Club "Sloga". Band�s
quality and live activity ensured appearance at the "Festival of the Best Pop-Rock Bands in the Bosnian Federation" which
took place in Sarajevo. At the end of 2003., band finaly completed recordings for their first full-lenght Metal attack
entitled "Contamination" which fully represent creativity,technic and vision of the Bosnian Death Metal sons - Toxicdeath.
At the beginning of 2004. Toxicdeath had their first own show in Zagreb (Croatia) in well-known club Mochvara
(onslaughtered by Morbid Angel, Krisiun, Vader, Decapitated, Vital remains, Cannibal Corpse�). That followed many other
shows including one at Metal Forest Festival in Zagreb (w / some other European bands).
At the end of July, 2004. band got the chance to support Vader on their show in Osijek (CRO), which was a part of their
European tour 2004. Toxicdeath had a great support from the fans and performed an great show that will be one of their
best to the date. At this point,after four years of existance,Toxicdeath became an compact entity leaving the long era of
personal changes behind. Today, they are one of the most important bands in the Balcan Death Metal scene. In the novembre,
2004. they signed their first record deal with Walk Records for "Contamination" full-lenght release. Currently, band is
focused on the gigs and promotion activities. |
