Thrash Metal
Last update/review:
October 1, 2022
Razor
Razor made some noise in the mid-eighties with a string of albums
displaying a strong
Slayer -esque vibe,
and were for a time one of Canada's best known thrash bands.
They managed a reasonable following but never quite made the major
leagues, finally disbanding in 1992 and then reforming
several years later.
That reformation led to one studio album (
Decibels ,
released in 1997), and after that the band has stayed active but
only occasionally play live.
A 2011 concert was the source of 2016's live album, the last
recording of the band.
Recent album: Cycle Of Contempt ,
released on September 23, 2022.
