Unfortunately due to reasons beyond our control Toastamania X is canceled. This was the last thing we wanted to do but due to multiple scheduling conflicts and some miscommunication between bands we would rather just regroup and try again next year than put on a show that wasn’t up to our standards. We thank everyone who has been patient with us over this pandemic and we hope to see you some time next year. Refunds will be issued at point of purchase. We promise this isn’t the end of Toastamania just a bump in the road.
GHOUL
Not much is known about Ghoul as they are always seen wearing masks. The members go by the stage names Cremator, Fermentor, Digestor, and Dissector. The band has a large line-up of characters in their lyrics, including the four of themselves. Most of the information about them comes from the “Curio Shop Owner” one of the many characters mentioned in their songs. They claim to be mutants that came from Creepsylvania. Ghoul was signed after self-releasing a demo. Their musical style is best described as a blend of thrash and death metal with death metal vocals and lyrics.
Like blood soaked entrails ripped from the disemboweled body of Christ, NunSlaughter assaults the senses with fiendishly morbid tales of the macabre. For the uninitiated, NunSlaughter is a seething boil of hard-core sound that has been festering beneath the skin of death metal for the past 33 years. Legendary in the death metal underground, NunSlaughter was one of the first American bands to harness this deathly form of music. Their raw sound and gut churning vocals are as demonic as ever.
Formed in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in 1990, Morta Skuld has been in the American Death Metal scene for 25 years, and has played with such bands as Death, Obituary, Slayer, and Napalm Death. Morta Skuld went on to sign with England’s Peaceville Records. After breaking up for number of years, the band reformed with a new breed and take on their genre.
Crossover thrash band from the underground of Chicago, Ten years strong this 5 piece combines their love of pop culture, thrash metal and putting people through tables
TOXIC RUIN was formed in 2014 with a mission of blending classic thrash metal, old-school death metal, and modern technicality into a wicked headbanging brew. Operating out of their collective hometown of Sheboygan, Wisconsin, the band released their debut album, “Subterranean Terror,” in 2016. The group followed up that debut record with the release of their 2018 EP, “Mortal Insolence.” The effort saw the current lineup of TOXIC RUIN take shape with Behrendt stepping into the vocalist position and the debut of rhythm guitarist Blake Toltzmann alongside lead guitarist Jacob Baneck and drummer David Miller. The effort saw the group further evolve their sound, leading to praise from Dead Rhetoric.com for showcasing “a stronger level of confidence and insight into dynamic songwriting for a thrash band not content to rest on recycling the past, but rather creating a bright future.” The new lineup began writing and recording songs for their second full-length album while relentlessly touring the United States in 2019 alongside bands such as LichKing, Micawber and Stonecutters and playing multiple festivals including FULL TERROR ASSAULT and Slam Dakota, plus winning 2nd Place in the 2019 Wacken Metal Battle USA. The result is TOXIC RUIN’s most mature and complex record to date, while also being their heaviest display of metallic force so far. “Nightmare Eclipse” is the next evolution in blending the heavier sounds of metal’s past with the modern musicianship of metal’s present.
