Toxpack – Schall & Rausch (Napalm Records)

\"\"

Whoever said “There’s nothing new under the Sun” had obviously never crossed paths with Toxpack before, because these dudes have gone and given the whole Crossover thing a decidedly different, slightly odd, but hypnotic and hugely enjoyable spin of their own making. They’ve forgone Thrash and Hardcore, travelling instead down a path forged by Street Punk and late eighties / early nineties Power Metal, and as weird as that may seem (and yeah, I know exactly how odd it sounds), the end product is pretty darn spectacular.  Toxpack are hard as nails and Schalll & Rausch is all about huge choruses and sing-a-long anthems that hit like a booze fuelled, blood soaked punch up between Loikamie and Attero Dominatus era Sabaton that pound their way into your skull. And just like a bunch of middle class crusties setting up a “protest” camp outside whatever it is they’re cross about this week, once they’re in there, they’re impossible to shift.  Schall & Rausch ist wunderbar…  Tim Cundle
