Portland’s very own Toxic Holocaust has teamed with Portland’s very own Relapse Records who has teamed with Portland’s very own Blank TV (they just moved here from LA) for this video premiere of” Judgment Awaits You.”
Wow, that’s a whole lotta Portland.
“Judgment Awaits You” is from the recently released Conjure and Command, the latest LP from aptly-named Toxic Holocaust frontman Joel Grind and company. Composed of black and white live footage the video hammers home the scorching sound of the band and confirms my suspicion that all of their T-shirts are missing sleeves. Come on guys, sleeves are your friend.
End Hits: They were 98lbs. of solid nerd until they became… Toxic Holocaust
Isn’t Relapse operated out of Philadelphia? Or at least operated out of an area right outside of Philadelphia?
@bmus: Totally spot on.

They are totally shamelessly ripping off Slayer, pretty boring.
Relapse has a west coast office located in Portland
@Faction speaks the truth. They have an office here and the label’s owner, Matthew Jacobson, is a partner at Sizzle Pie.
I went to High School with one of them cats…at least, I think he’s in this band…he might be in some other Thrashcore/Speed Metal band that annihilates this hard.
Whoops! He’s in Cementary Lust.
@Agit ” shamelessly ripping off Slayer” my thoughts exactly.
I wouldn’t quite say “shamelessly ripping off” but I would say they are within the confines of the genre. If you were to play this side by side with something from Metal Blade records circa ’85 and ask me which was which I wouldn’t be able to tell you.
