Latest Album  :             "Fear" Release date 1st September 2008  
The new album entitled "Fear" - release date 1st September on Rocksector Records. This is an original & innovative new collection of songs from Toxic, with emotive tortured-soul vocals, & un-elaborate yet ultimately tasty guitar solos. The album involves delicate interludes followed by powerhouse chords, all underpinned by as tight & coherent rhythm section as you could wish for. The compositions are both inventive & atmospheric, including also a choir & eerie whispering on track one "Preludium", through to the bass, cello & haunting piano in the closing section of the final track "Fear None" - a sombre & dramatic finale to this fine work. Overall, the album is progressive yet not over-elaborate, rocks out with a quirky & maniacal charm at times, & ultimately kicks ass!

Reviews of "Fear" :-

"a work of dynamic opposites, a work of rock juxtapositions, a work of high calibre, a ballsy but varied work that calls on the 'rock of ages' to shape its form and address the issues of the genre and its expectations .... rammed with big riffs and an abundance of wailing and screaming guitar fills vying with wonderfully tight percussive punctuation and majestic bass runs .... the vocal is somewhat reminiscent of a lot of Rainbow's work and such great names as Graham Bonnet and Ronnie James Dio" (taken from review by Toxic Pete. (www.toxicpete.co.uk)

"Prepare yourself for one of the coolest surprises in a very long time. Toxic will be the next big thing in your music collection .... forget about Wolfmother, Fatal Smile or Volbeat .... Toxic will change your ears forever and lead you into a new dimension filled with charismatic soundscapes and sleepless nights .... it will turn your musical life upside down ....not just good, these guys are the best and they will leave you with the biggest smile on your face. Beware of that!" (taken from review by Johnny Forslund - Founder of Sweden Rock - Melodic Editor - Promoter - Sweden, www. myspace. com/johnnystainlessteel, www. smme. se)

Toxic is the latest band to be confirmed for the main stage at the Classic Rock Festival 2009 in Sandnes, Norway on 21st May. The two headliners on that date are Whitesnake & Kamelot. This is an amazing piece of news for Toxic & bodes well for a successful 2009 following the successful release of their 2nd album "Fear" on Rocksector Records in September 2008, with the follow-up tour of the UK in October. The album has been receiving excellent reviews.

 

 

 

 

 

Toxic is a Norwegian rock band situated in the town of Stavanger. Everything started back in may 2003. The Band members got together and quickly established their own sound. You`ll allways find a lot of contrasts and dynamic in their music & Toxic is always searching for "the inner human psychic" in their lyrics. There`s an obvious link to bands from the 1970s & also influences from present day.

In November 2007 Toxic played debut gigs in the UK which proved very successful & the aim  is to establish the band in the UK,  enhancing its' reputation. A 2nd succesful & extensive UK tour the  followed in October 2008.
