Out Now! CDN Records Unleashes Canadian Extreme Thrashers KORROSIVE ‘s New Album “Toxic Apokalypse” On CD + Cassette & Vinyl Coming 2023

New Music Video “Fatal Strike”

CDN Records has just unleashed Canadian thrashers Korrosive’s latest album “Toxic Apokalypse” on CD, which is available at https://cdnrecords.com/shop/korrosive-toxic-apokalypse/. The full-length was released digitally on October 7th of this year. and will also be available on cassette and vinyl in 2023 with its release to be determined at a later date.

Korrosive is an unapologetic, and high-octane headbanging unit that has crushed many mosh pits around their hometown of Toronto, ON, and beyond having shared the stage supporting well-known acts such as Havok, Venom Inc., Narcotic Wasteland, Voivod, Exciter, and Accept.

Korrosive is known for pushing the boundaries with its roots in thrash and meshing elements from more extreme metal such as death and grind to break down wall after wall that enters their path.

On Korrosive‘s new Album “Toxic Apokalypse”, fans new and old alike, can feel the aural brute-de-force on the eight-track blitz of pounding headbanging fury. Even though each song on the album is quite different in a way from the others, it’s all uniquely Korrosive. Songs deal with topics of science fiction, armageddon, and “what if” scenarios. For each track on the record, the band pushes them to new levels of velocity and extremity, from ‘Fatal Strike’, which has a ton of blast beats and solos, yet is still unmistakably thrash, to ‘Radioaktive Scourge’, filled with pure aggression, unlike anything they’ve released before. From its speed, the lyrics, and the sheer intensity, this song may be the shortest track on the record, but makes the largest impact and it’s over before you know it. And also strongly recommended is ‘Hail the Hellfire’, perhaps the band’s anthem to the entire “Toxic Apokalypse” album. Written as a reflection of the period when the full-length was being composed, this track discusses the brutality of war and the end result of each and every individual involved in its cause, regardless of side.

The band adds:

“We think the fans will be in for quite a surprise. We literally went all out and pushed the limits. It’s a diabolical, fast, unforgiving armageddon. From slow passages, mid-tempo bangers, hyper-fast blast beats, and the occasional odd-time signature, it’s a ride in extreme thrash unlike anything before. Toxic Apokalypse is an album that will hit you hard, fast, and leave you with a ‘what the f*ck just happened?’ feeling.”

Recommended for fans of Sodom, Kreator, Death, and Sepultura, “Toxic Apokalypse” was produced by Ben Erikson with mastering done by Arthur Rizk (Power Trip, Kreator, Cro-Mags, Municipal Waste, Soulfly). The album artwork was created by the infamous Ed Repka (Dark Angel, Death, Hirax, Megadeth, Suicidal Angels, Venom).

“If you like your thrash metal with a little San Francisco and a nice helping of Germany, then this is the album for you. “Toxic Apokalypse” is already out on CDN Records from Canada and it’s a must for any metal fan who likes it hard, nasty, and ripping off heads! This is easily in my top five metal albums of 2022.” – Pete Altieri, Murder Metal Mayhem

“It’s an album which is relentless, something that any self-respecting thrash fan would want. And yet, there is some balance to the album. It’s paced well, with the tempo picking up again at the tail end of the album” – UK Thrashers

Canadian Extreme Thrashers KORROSIVE To Unleash New Album “Toxic Apokalypse” On Cassette / CD / Vinyl via CDN Records

New Video “Radioaktive Scourge”

Canadian thrashers Korrosive announce they will be unleashing CDs, cassettes and vinyl of their latest album “Toxic Apokalypse” via CDN Records. CDs will be due out on November 18th, with cassettes and vinyl for release in 2023 (release to be announced at a later date). The full-length was released digitally on October 7th of this year.

Korrosive is from Toronto, ON that is in your face, unapologetic, and is definitely one that offers a high-octane headbanging experience, unlike anything you’ve heard before as they explore and push the boundaries of thrash metal with extreme influences.

“We want to be a thrash metal band that combines the elements of thrash in its roots, but also breaks down walls by incorporating various influences from grind and death, or whatever comes to mind to mix it up.” says vocalist Rad Zarei.

Their new album “Toxic Apokalypse” follows their first full-length 2021’s “Kaustic Hordes” and the 2019 EP “Melting from Within”. Featuring eight assaulting bangers, each song on the album is quite different in a way from each other, and yet, still uniquely Korrosive. They push each track with speed and extremity, from ‘Fatal Strike’ that has a ton of blast beats and solos, yet is still unmistakably thrash, to ‘Radioaktive Scourge’, filled with pure aggression, unlike anything they’ve released before. From its speed, the lyrics, and the sheer intensity, this song may be the shortest track on the record, but makes the largest impact and it’s over before you know it. And also strongly recommended is ‘Hail the Hellfire’, perhaps the band’s anthem to the entire “Toxic Apokalypse” album. Written as a reflection of the period when the full-length was being composed, this track discusses the brutality of war and the end result of each and every individual involved in its cause, regardless of side.

The band adds:

“Diabolical, fast, unforgiving armageddon. From slow passages, mid-tempo bangers, hyper-fast blast beats, and the occasional odd-time signature, it’s a ride in extreme thrash unlike anything before. Toxic Apokalypse is an album that will hit you hard, fast, and leave you with a ‘what the f*ck just happened?’ feeling.”

Lyrically, the music sets the overall tone for how the lyrics are written and substance. Songs deal with topics of science fiction, armageddon, and “what if” scenarios. The album art was created by the infamous Ed Repka (Dark Angel, Death, Hirax, Megadeth, Suicidal Angels, Venom).

“Typically, the way we write songs is to have each song done or be in the middle of the writing process, and I would create something out of that. It is rare for us that lyrics get written first before the song is made,” adds Zarei.

One thing that the mosh pit can always expect from Korrosive is the energy they bring to their shows.

“I always think of a show, regardless of venue, as a performance that is meant to capture the crowd. And as a band, Korrosive always exudes that level of intensity during our shows.”

0 Get Ready To Fight Your Oppressors! Crawling Manifest’s New Lyric Video “Right to Refrain Silence”

NEWS RELEASE

Montreal, QC – May 31, 2021

For fans of Lamb of God, Megadeth, Power Trip, Testament, Exodus

Get Ready To Fight Your Oppressors! Crawling Manifest’s New Lyric Video “Right to Refrain Silence”

New Album “Radical Absolution” Out Now!

Over the course of the eight tracks on “Radical Absolution”, Crawling Manifest brings you anger, relief, energy, heavy riffs, and wild solos. The single “Right to Refrain Silence” is no exception as one of the album’s fight songs that inject listeners with that “get up and go” feeling.

According to the band, the single, at its core, is designed to hit a nerve, as they explain further:

“The song “Right to Refrain Silence,” is nothing short of a fight song against oppression, with every line pointing out the failings of our leaders. All around us we see this theme of the police departments and legislators suppressing people’s voices, and this track was a call to action against that. Like we say in the song, “Until our last breath escapes us, we’ll take our liberty.”

The single was one of the first songs finished for the album, and one of the most fun for the duo to write. They say that musically, they really found their stride with this one and were able to put forward a song that combined all of the fast-paced aggression that they look for within their tracks with a groove that pulls all of it together in the chorus.

“Right to Refrain Silence” is an anthemic, powerful call to action that will have listeners chanting along with the chorus “United we stand, Divided they fall”. Crawling Manifest is recommended listening for fans of Testament, Exodus and Lamb of God.

The video for “Right to Refrain Silence” can be watched via its premiere on V13.net HERE.

The album “Radical Absolution” is available on Crawlingmanifest.bandcamp.com, Spotify, Apple Music.

Lyric Video – World War III – https://youtu.be/mR1YdGGrDw4

Track Listing:
1. Land of The Free (2:27)
2. World War III (4:42)
3. Nothing To Lose (6:11)

About:
Crawling Manifest was formed in 2014 on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, USA. The thrash metal band incorporates elements from death metal, modern metal and core.

After multiple line-up changes, live shows, and tours, playing alongside bands such as Fleshgod Apocalypse, Soulfly, Soilwork, Carach Angren, and Kataklysm, remaining members Andrew Gladu and Trevor Layton made the decision to write new music taking influence from the bands they grew up listening to and combining a love of death and thrash metal into a powerful new sound.

It starts off with a beer, which turns into a riff and it just goes from there; Gladu and Layton work closely together on all aspects of the writing process, save for when they veer off to pay specific attention to lyrics and vocals.

So far, Crawling Manifest has released two EPs “Forevermore” (2016) and “Lords of War” (2019), and the full-length “Battlegrounds” (2016). In 2021, they will release a second full-length, the politically charged “Radical Absolution” on May 14th.

“The band has cut their teeth playing live with Fleshgod Apocalypse, Soulfly, Soilwork, Carach Angren, and Kataklysm, with founding members remaining members Andrew Gladu and Trevor Layton still driving the band since 2014. Fans from bands like Havok, Warbringer, Lamb of God, and Power Trip will love Crawling Manifest!” – Ghost Cult Mag

“The album is politically charged and there is a solid level of aggression in the vocals that means you can clearly hear that Gladu is fired up here, he’s not just spitting venom for the hell of it. The aforementioned “World War III” is a prime example being a f*** you to Billionaires who got there by exploiting the people who work their fingers to the bone to earn a crust from them, “Right To Refrain Silence” is a straight up fight song about the right to speak freely without being violated by the powers that be in response.” – Metal Noise

“The overwhelming triumph of this record are the quality of riffs. They come thick and fast and we are never far away from a fresh one.” – The Razor’s Edge

“You want thrash, you get no-frills thrash. This record also feels very honest, and gives the listener exactly what’s on the tin. Speaking of those riffs, they bring great pleasure. Crawling Manifest reveal their talent in writing short, punchy statements and drilling them into the listener’s head.” – Metal Utopia

“Radical Absolution” Out May 14th

Crawling Manifest has been kicking around since 2014, however, after their last tour; they decided to go in a new direction musically. They ended up being reduced to a duo, but that has only made the fire burn hotter as evident with their new album “Radical Absolution”.

This change has been hugely satisfying for Andrew Gladu (vocals/bass/drums) and Trevor Layton (guitars) who are eager to show off their own style, a modern take on classic thrash metal. “Radical Absolution” was intended to be a four-song EP, but in the wake of Covid, morphed into a full eight-track album. Crawling Manifest explains it in their own words:

“The start of the album being an emotional instrumental build-up to the first track “Land of the Free”, and the last track “Onslaught” really reminds us of taking a deep breath, letting everything that’s been building up inside out, and then starting fresh. The singles we’ve been able to release so far, “World War III” and “Revolution” have been our most successful tracks to date, we are excited to hear what people think of the rest of the album!”

Crawling Manifest cites that their goal in writing music is to make their fans feel something and “Radical Absolution” delivers just that. This new album, really dug deep into a current event/political mindset, with almost all of the lyrics reflecting on the struggles of the everyday person in the world of 2020.

Loud powerful thrash with the old school themes of yelling about the government, “Radical Absolution” is a perfect grab for those interested in Power Trip, Testament, and Exodus.

The full album is now streaming over on Ghost Cult Magazine HERE.

The album releases officially on May 14, 2021 and will be available on Crawlingmanifest.bandcamp.com, Spotify, Apple Music.

NEWS RELEASE

Montreal, QC – April 19, 2021

For fans of Lamb of God, Megadeth, Power Trip, Testament, Exodus

Raise Your Voice And Fists To Crawling Manifest’s “Revolution” Off Upcoming “Radical Absolution”

New Album “Radical Absolution” Out May 14th

Crawling Manifest is gearing up for the release of “Radical Absolution” this May and in preparation, they invite listeners to indulge in their next single “Revolution”. With this album, Crawling Manifest is in duo form, Andrew Gladu (vocals/bass/drums) and Trevor Layton (guitars) who combine their love of the thrash metal classics with a modern metal sound.

The single “Revolution” is what the band describes as a “fight song”, with a goal to inspire others to make their voices heard. They explain further:

“Being a musician makes it easy for us to speak up and be heard, but not everyone has that luxury. With this track, we wanted to motivate our listeners to speak up and use their own voices. This album has been something we’ve been able to listen to no matter what we’re doing, and we’d really like to see it be the same for others. Something that makes you think, lyrically, and makes you bang your head musically.”

“Revolution” isn’t the only fight song on the album, energy, and anger persist throughout the eight tracks that are impossible to sit still to. The lyrics are heavily inspired by all of the events that happened over the course of 2020, as the band states, “There’s a lot to be angry about in the world around us, and what we are trying to do is bring just a little more attention to it.”

“Radical Absolution” starts off with an instrumental build-up to the first track “Land of The Free”, and finishes with the last track “Onslaught” fading out to a soft, bluesy groove, a metaphor for taking deep breaths in between outbursts of pure rage.

Crawling Manifest is recommended for fans of classic thrash especially bands like Megadeth, Power Trip, and Testament.

The single “Revolution” can be heard on YouTube – https://youtu.be/3VtYl-x_VUw

Single download and stream at Crawlingmanifest.bandcamp.com, Spotify, Apple Music.

“Radical Absolution” is releasing on May 14, 2021.

NEWS RELEASE

Montreal, QC – March 30, 2021

For fans of Lamb of God, Megadeth, Power Trip, Testament, Exodus

Crawling Manifest Announce Politically Charged Album “Radical Absolution” + Lyric Video For “World War III”

New Album “Radical Absolution” Out May 14th

Maryland’s Crawling Manifest are releasing a new album “Radical Absolution”, which will be their first as a duo featuring Andrew Gladu (Vocals/Bass/Drums) and Trevor Layton (Guitars). This change came from many lineup changes and a desire to move forward seamlessly in a more thrash direction. Musically, this album is their modern take on their favorite types of thrash metal, and they blend them seamlessly together to create something original. They explain further:

“We think that this album is like a new beginning for us. We went through a period of rebranding last year and came up with the new sound, such as on our new single “World War III”, and we couldn’t be happier with the outcome of this. I think that fans will share that same thought and look forward to more from us in the future.”

Along with this album announcement they are also presenting a lyric video for the single “World War III”, the first song that was written for the record. The main riff came quickly to the duo and they immediately started fleshing it out. Lyrically, this song is a straight-up “f* you” to billionaires. People are exploited every day by people who just reap the benefits of the working class’ labor, so the only thing left to say there is, “Eat the F*ing Rich.”

The aggressive, hard-hitting combination of riffs is topped with equally aggressive and fast, piercing solos; “Radical Absolution” has all the trademarks of thrash metal and is recommended for fans of Lamb of God, Megadeth, and Power Trip.

The lyric video for “World War III” can be heard and viewed on YouTube – https://youtu.be/mR1YdGGrDw4

Single download and stream at Crawlingmanifest.bandcamp.com, Spotify, Apple Music.

“Radical Absolution” is out on May 14, 2021.
