Toxik

New York’s Toxik was shaped in 1985 by guitarist Josh Christian, originally utilizing the name Tokyo, until being threatened with legal action by another music group who’d signed up it first. Not really it mattered all that very much, because the band’s complicated brand of rock was also in a few condition of flux of these formative years, and by enough time the group agreed upon a agreement with Roadrunner Information in the past due 1980s, had progressed into a cross types style somewhere within quickness, thrash, and intensifying metal, much like New Jersey neighbours Hades and Tx’ groundbreaking Watchtower. Two musically demanding and thematically politicized albums adopted: 1987’s Globe Circus, offering the flamboyantly shredding Christian, vocalist Mike Sanders, bassist Brian Bonini, and drummer Tad Leger; and 1989’s Think that This, where Sanders was changed with the greater achieved John Sabin, and tempo guitarist John Donnelly was recruited to talk about the increasingly complex six-string workload. Sadly, neither album were able to break Toxik beyond the primary heavy metal customer base, as well as the group ultimately split up in 1992, after dropping their record offer.
