Toxicidal is the brain-child of Austin Yancy. Created in 2020 from Urbana, Illinois, Toxicidal masterfully blends the high-speed aggression of thrash metal with the groove-heavy, attitude-driven essence of nu metal. Drawing inspiration from iconic acts like Static X, Metallica, Korn, Slipknot, etc., Toxicidal delivers an electrifying sound that’s as hard-hitting as it is chaotic.

The music features a compelling blend of razor-sharp guitar riffs, thundering rhythms, and unfiltered vocal aggression. Through his songwriting, Toxicidal explores themes of personal strife, rebellion against conformity, and societal collapse. The lyrics offer a raw, introspective look at the challenges facing contemporary society, making each track not only a display of musical prowess but also a reflection on deeper, often tumultuous human experiences.

As Toxicidal continues to evolve and refine his sound, Austin remains committed to pushing the boundaries of the genre, ensuring that his music not only resonates with fans but also contributes to the ever-expanding legacy of heavy metal music.
