Horsepower Enthusiast you should check out a band called death. Now it should be noted that there are 2 bands called death but one is comprised of all black dudes pretty killer rock and roll from Detroit if I’m not mistaken
It's hard to find Black people into metal. And even harder to see black people in metal bands. But believe me, we are out here thrash'n, mosh'n, and headbang'n!!!! Just remember, it's not about the skin color. It's about the Metal and those horns in the air!!!!
It was GREAT growing up in the 80's.... I consider myself very lucky. Good to see thrash bands still carrying the torch! I am really digging Warbringer and Hatchet recently.
***** I didn't have a vehicle in the 80's - I don't drive. Lol And I hated most things about the 80's other than the thrash metal and hardcore punk that came out in that era. There were some good movies, but a lot were cheesy. I liked the early 90's best out of any time period in my life, but after Kurt Cobain killed himself that decade went downhill fast.
Yeah they have a great not-taking-themselves-too-seriously vibe coming across.. refreshing yet its deceptive cause when the music gets going you can hear how utterly committed they are. Great stuff.
Katon, like all of us, has his influences however he stands alone with his Sonic assault, he is and always will be a true metal legend as will the band HIRAX I f****** love these dudes
I'm 54 and my wife is 55 and we love this group Big Time and we are Christian and we are Pro-life and we are agains abortion okay letting you we are Pro-life okay
+Jason - TheMetal_King For sure - I used to see him hanging out at all the best Thrash Metal shows in LA back in the 80's, always supporting the scene.
I'm back in the 80s. He has a Bobby Blitz Ellesworth vibe, or rather his voice reminds me of old Overkill. Music also reminds me a bit of Handle with Care era Nuclear Assault.
Just had Hirax and Ghoul play a party in our backyard! Shit was off the hook!! Helluva turnout and not one fight broke out surprisingly. Usually we’re extinguishing 8 brawls per show. But this had an awesome turnout! Katon is a solid dude!!
Ozzmaster2112 I missed out on Hirax the first time around so I'm kind of playing catch up with what they've done, but I like what I heard so far. Any albums you'd like to recommend for me to check out?
I remember my friend bought the Raging Violence LP when it came out in 85?. We were sophmores in high school. He liked Pushead and his artwork and bought it just to check it out. He liked it, so did we, but made a bit of fun of him from straying from the Metallica-Slayer-Exodus-Megadeth-(and sometimes Anthrax) loop - that and a thrash metal singer with an afro - BUT years later I've come to appreciate Hirax and all their stuff. It's punch yourself in the face fucking brutal It's like an Evel Knievel jump/crash... They haven't changed much over the years and in this case, It's an absolute excellent thing.
Katon is striking the most important and imposing pose in all of heavy metal metal that was perfected by Dan Lilker: The Evil Grapefruit Squeeze pose @ 3:20
Hirax es una banda de culto, de esas que nunca perdieron su esencia y hasta el fin de sus días seguirá siendo auténtica, cosa que muy pocas bandas pueden decir. Aguante Hirax...!!!!!!
here are some more bands: - Suffocation - Killswitch Engage - God Forbid - Unlocking the Truth - Skindred - Sepultura - Sevendust - Straight line stich We also have a small "Black Metal" band from Africa called "Demogoroth" (Black Metal, oh the irony :D ) And let us not forget one of the greatest and influential metal/rock guitarists of all time, "Jimi Hendrix" and Slash from "Guns and Roses" ;)
A' met the man back on the 80's California, l.a long beach thath is. You bump with the dudde, allmost everywere! Conserts,récord stores, back yard party's. As a Mexican in the mouvment, i never felt discriminated, neather Katon.we were true metal mongers and have passion for it! El diablo negro!!!!!the mexican iron gang 🇲🇽♠️☢️☠️🔗🛠️⚒️

I'm black myself, and feeling like I'm alienated because of how I'm the only black person who lives rock. Seeing this makes me have faith in humanity.

same here buddy
I love when black dudes are into metal. Makes me wanna hear their life story and how they got into metal.

Kicking myself for not having heard of these dudes before now. These guys are legit! This is the kind of kick-ass thrash metal I grew up on!
This vocalist is the spirit of metal. Pure passion.
Kicking some serious ass here, old-school 80's Thrash Metal style! And Katon's voice has gotten better and more ballsy-sounding with age.
*****
Yes, I was \m/
It was GREAT growing up in the 80's.... I consider myself very lucky. Good to see thrash bands still carrying the torch! I am really digging Warbringer and Hatchet recently.
This band reminds me of the birth of great music.... awesome fuckin' shit.

***** Right on.
I seriously thought this was a joke for the first 10 seconds, but this guy is the real deal. This is good shit.
It really sounds like old school stuff
Yeah they have a great not-taking-themselves-too-seriously vibe coming across.. refreshing yet its deceptive cause when the music gets going you can hear how utterly committed they are. Great stuff.
BJ. Thrash they’ve been around since 84. They’ve had time to get their shit straight.
why you thought it was a joke?
they are bad ass
Love it how the Drummer is just standing in the back, banging his head. Cool song, consider buying the record
Katon, like all of us, has his influences however he stands alone with his Sonic assault, he is and always will be a true metal legend as will the band HIRAX I f****** love these dudes
i dont care how katon sounds like but its the attitude man.he is just a ripper.a true metal maniac.
Hirax RULES. Killer track.
I'm 54 and my wife is 55 and we love this group Big Time and we are Christian and we are Pro-life and we are agains abortion okay letting you we are Pro-life okay
I was so into finding bands like literally every day. It's became a hobby for me.
I came across these dudes and they are good af.
I didn't realize how much these guys sound like early Overkill.
Exactly sounds like something from Under The Influence! It's fuckin awesome!
No Hirax sounds much different. It's because of Katon
Fenriz has a Hirax patch on his war vest. Nuff said.
That's all you had to say...
Facts yo!
Still have my Hirax albums from the 80's. These guys were legit.
*
ARE
Must respect to these guys man. The old school thrash is here to stay. Killer vocals and thrash instrumentation. I absolutely love the shit out of it
Katon is a legend in the thrash scene. Doubters need to leave!
+Jason - TheMetal_King For sure - I used to see him hanging out at all the best Thrash Metal shows in LA back in the 80's, always supporting the scene.
Katon W. is old school
and he is a heck of guy!! he is a super nice guy and a total thrasher
He can easily join so many bands with that fucking voice. One day maybe we'll see him in something that will give him the attention he deserves
Why would anyone doubt?
Katon is a true legend
I'm back in the 80s. He has a Bobby Blitz Ellesworth vibe, or rather his voice reminds me of old Overkill. Music also reminds me a bit of Handle with Care era Nuclear Assault.
Vocals of Katon reminds me of early Bobby Blitz
Just had Hirax and Ghoul play a party in our backyard! Shit was off the hook!! Helluva turnout and not one fight broke out surprisingly. Usually we’re extinguishing 8 brawls per show. But this had an awesome turnout! Katon is a solid dude!!
This guys' got some serious pipes on him.
He sounds a little bit like Blitz from Overkill to me
lynchie137
he sounds JUST like Blitz personally, which i think is fucking awesome cause those vox are by no means easy to pull off
Ozzmaster2112 Not to mention that both guys have to be up in their fifties by now, and they're still letting it rip vocally. Amazing stuff.
hell yea!
Ozzmaster2112 I missed out on Hirax the first time around so I'm kind of playing catch up with what they've done, but I like what I heard so far. Any albums you'd like to recommend for me to check out?

Been listening to thrash a long time and only discovered these guys lately. Absolutely awesome.
Hirax rocks!! Saw them yesterday!!! It was great..
That screaming egg drawing will never leave my mind
They also have a sound resemblance to Exodus too. Killer band.
Maybe but not
Katin still sounds good. I remember him from the 80's when I had a metal fanzine.
