TOXIK: \'Think Again\' DVD To Arrive Next Month
According to TOXIK drummer Tad Leger, "Think Again" "contains both vintage and brand new never-before-seen footage. The main feature is a 1989 headlining set from the Paramount Theater in TOXIK's hometown of Peekskill, New York. This performance came shortly after the release of 'World Circus' and the energy level of the band is truly at its peak for TOXIK's first headlining show. The set contains all the tracks from 'World Circus' and an early version of 'Spontaneous' that appeared on our second album, 'Think This'.
"The Paramount was by far the largest stage we had ever played at the time and we constructed a massive drum riser out of hundreds of milk crates that were swiped at night from local supermarkets. The footage was taken from the crowd and has a great live feel. This was NOT [professionally] shot, so please don't expect an anamorphic HD picture. We did use professional post-production studios to get the best transfer possible, however.
"We did a brand new interview with Mike [Sanders, vocals], Josh [Christian, guitar] and myself, that has some great stories and moments recalled from our years in TOXIK. I edited in tons of pics into the interview from our archives, that we hope you'll enjoy.
"Josh provided me with a SUPER-rare video of TOKYO from 1986, who became TOXIK shortly after this show and recorded the legendary TOXIK demo. It's a very cool glimpse into the roots of the band and both Mike and Josh are kicking ass! Also in the extras is a gallery of close to 100 images of posters, back stage passes, ads, pics of us and our awesome road crew. Even King Diamond from when we toured with him."
Hailing from New York's Hudson Valley area, TOXIK released a pair of classic thinking-man's thrash metal albums in the late '80s. An upstart record label named Roadrunner Records (later home to SLIPKNOT and NICKELBACK) released the band's two astounding masterworks, 1988's "World Circus" and 1989's "Think This". Both releases saw TOXIK take the aggression and brutality of speed metal and mix it with the technicality and proficiency of progressive hard rock.
TOXIK left the Hudson Valley region and toured the United States and the world, playing shows with the likes of PANTERA, SEPULTURA, EXODUS, KING DIAMOND and others in their quest for metal ascendancy before their premature implosion in 1992.
