Our dear mr. Pyro mentioned them in the underrated/overrated thread, and rightly so I might add.

Having seen them at Dynamo Open Aire in 1988 and a couple of times in clubs I searched for more info on Toxik and Dynamo Open Air since I heard that that conert will be released on dvd later this year, and I cae across the following:

have fun enjoying it. I am going to watch the crowd closely to see if I can spot myself hahahaha

Awesome, I love their World Circus album a lot !!

MA says : "Toxik have officialy re-united in 2007 with Lou Caldarola replacing Tad Leger who was too busy to join the line-up with other projects as a guitarist."
Yet another band reforming in 2006/2007 !! What's going on this year heh ?

Yep, Toxik, Sabbat, Cynic, Atheist, Immortal, Emperor, Laaz Rockit, all doing reunion gigs.
Toxik will be playing at the Keep It True festival later this year.

I am for sure going to get "World Circus" and "Think This" someday.I found out about the albums a little before they where released,but haven't got around to purchasing them yet. I have heard the songs on their myspace page,they had very well executed solos,and they sounded nice and original.I Would you say they are technical speed/thrash similar to Watchtower,Hexenhaus,Realm and Sabbat.

hehe awesome...I'm glad there's a thread for this band. As of right now, World Circus is my favorite album. Every single track is killer, and I think that Mike Sanders pwnifies most vocalists out there. In the song, False Prophets, I love it when Mike sings "Beeeeewaaaaaaaaare!" in a super high voice. Even though the instrumentation is jaw-dropping, Mike really makes the music come to life. I especially love the slower song on that album (it's still not slow though), Pain and Misery, mostly because of how that guy sings.

About two weeks ago I decided that I should also order Think This, even though a less extreme vocalist was in the band at that time. I should receive it in the mail any day now.

@Marcel - I finally got around to checking out that video you posted. It's a great video man, and the vocals sound exactly like they do on cd. The Black Sabbath cover is fucking sweet...

I finally received Think This in the mail today and it definitely doesn't even come close to World Circus. Yes, it's good, but they lost quite a bit of intensity. The other vocalist isn't as energetic as Mike and it just isn't as much fun. It's still a good album though, mostly due to the frequent guitar solos.

I found out about this band about a week ago, no thanks to Marcel this time, but to my own efforts (Although he's generally good for naming bands to check out )

@ Pyro: Agreed, World Circus is the better of their 2 albums, thought Think This does have its moments. I love the title track the most, the guitar is insane, even for it's time...

Here's to more good thrash like this band

Great band! Will see thet at the next KIT festival.... In heard rumours they will play in Holland too...

Look what I read in a Toxik blog!!!:

"YES its true...New Toxik material is in the works and on tape!!!

That's all we'll say right now...(you may certainly want to catch one of our upcoming shows- fall 07!!)

We keep getting and reading all your merchandise requests and cant thank you all enough for the support and enthusiasm...merch is on the way and we'll post more as its available!"

I know the album 'World Circus ' only , surely one of the underrated bands in bay area. Dirty riffs , creepy vocals i like .... some of bands you can always listen to no matter how old the album is , cant put them in them with Morbid Saint and Razor stuff but still some mind blowing gems.

Toxic is definitely one of my favourite thrash bands. I would say Think This is their best album

Awsome band awsome realy awsome, how I didnts aw this tread previsuly but I olly know band from vibrationsof doom so but thay had 2 album sseems I havnt lost much

Only now do I see the mistake in your post. They aren't from the Bay Area, but actually from around New York.

I'm curious about this wonder, I keep wondering if it is my cup of tea.

Well, if you like something with a bit of melody (which you do judging by your favorite bands), then you gotta love them.
