With a name like Whiplash, classic thrash metal is probably what one might expect, and that's exactly what this New Jersey band delivered, particularly on their earlier, well-received works such as Power And Pain and Ticket To Mayhem in the mid-eighties. By the time of 1997's Sit Stand Kneel Prey, the band had broadened its sound just a bit, largely due to a change in vocal style. Whiplash seemingly has folded and reformed several times over the years, but after a long silence following the original three-Tony lineup on Thrashback in 1998, yet another new lineup is active.
