Thrashing madness HIRAX to hit OEF!!!

Great honour for the „obscene“ stage to welcome one of the bands that belonged besides METALLICA, EXODUS & SLAYER to the basic building blocks of the originating thrash metal in the middle of 80`s. We are speaking about HIRAX from California!

When their debut "Raging Violence" had been published in 1985 many fans were literally left totally open-mouthed. Due to their early break-up in 1988 they have never reached the top. However, they have been unerasably imprinted into the hearts of many metal fans.


In 2000 they reunited and are thrashing till now. The latest album so far from those true thrashers is this year "Immortal Legacy". No stale tales for old people but straightforward old school thrashing! The only original member of Hirax is a black singer Katon W. De Pena. He is a demon with a human face. There is truly a dynamite in his voice and if you like the vocal register of Bobby Blitz (OVERKILL) for instance, you will be drooling from happiness. Looking forward to when the darkness at the stage will be penetrated by the white of his eyes and his shining teeth. The guitar saws of Hirax will cut your arms off. Headbangers, thrashers, are you ready?
