Toxic Holocaust - Evil Never Dies (2003)

Crazed bullet-belt-and-high-top thrash metal from the fiery pits of Maryland. Toxic Holocaust carries on in the grand tradition of Destruction, Kreator, Whiplash, and Bathory with songs about nuclear war, Satan, and other wholesome themes. Joel Grind is the only member of this "band," but this doesn’t sound like a wimpy Pro-Tools vanity project, the sound is fully realized and Joel packs as much of a punch as any four or five denim-and-leather clad heshers ever has. Unlike many current speed/thrash bands, Joel has a knack for writing catchy songs with plenty of hooks. Standout tracks include the seething mid-tempo "Summon The Beast" and headbanging anthem "Metal Attack". This is the soundtrack to getting ripped on magic marker fumes and cheap domestic beer in your parents’ basement in 1986. Kills posers on contact.

Toxic Holocaust - Hell On Earth (2005)

Joel Grind returns with another onslaught of thrashing metal grounded in the 80's Teutonic metal scene with a touch of old punk for that raw feel. The album consists of 11 thrash metal masterpieces complete with a solo from Bobby Steele (ex-Misfits) on the title track. The cover was done by none other than Ed Repka who's known for his work with Megadeth, Death, Venom, Evil Dead, etc. Thrash metal or die!

PG. 99 - Document #1 (1998)

Pg. 99 (also spelled pageninetynine) was a screamo band from Sterling, Virginia on the outskirts of Washington DC The band formed as a 6-piece in winter 1998 and later expanded to an 8-piece. With continual line-up changes, they once played as a 14 member outfit. Pg. 99 were known for their intense live shows.

In Connecticut, Pg. 99 attendees spawned a number of "theme shows" where audience members descended on the pit adorned with items of the evenings theme.

After several US tours, a European tour, and numerous releases, they disbanded in May 2003.

As of 2008, two releases are yet to see light – a DVD compiling various live footage, and a split 10" with City Of Catepillar containing both bands' last songs recorded.

This is their original demo. And the next 13 posts is their complete discography.

The National Acrobat - Can't Stop Casper Adams (2000)

Louisville's National Acrobat have been around since 1998, bringing us their chaotic and infections brand of musical mayhem that combines DC math rock with San Diego spazz and punishing heavy hardcore.This release sees the band taking a more direct approach with shorter songs, stronger vocals, precisely constructed mayhem and the occasional destructive riffing, as well as experiments in noise and ambience.

Dead Low Tide - Self Titled (2003)

Late in 2001, in a misty, musty horse stable nestled in the jagged snow-topped peaks of the Olympic Peninsula of Washington State, Dead Low Tide was born. Dead Low Tide brought together the talent and charisma of X Murder City Devils - Spencer Moody (vox,) Nate Manny (guitar,) & Coady Willis (drums) and combined the ferocity and low-end almighty of Mike Kunka of godheadSilo/Enemymine. The unlikely marriage of Kunka’s eight-string bass bombast & the trio of X-Devils birthed a unique, unrivaled experiment in musical intensity.
