Joel Grind’s The YELLOWGOAT Sessions: First Single Unleashed

Gristle up your holiday caroling with “Cross Damnation," the first single from Joel Grind's The YELLOWGOAT Sessions offering. Recorded as a TOXIC HOLOCAUST return-to-form of sorts (think the Critical Mass demo), The YELLOWGOAT Sessions are raw, unrefined, reverbed out, distorted to hell and violently delicious.

Comments Joel Grind of the release: “I decided to not call this a TOXIC HOLOCAUST record for a few reasons. The main one being that TOXIC has sort of morphed from being a solo project to now being a full band. That's not saying you won’t see other ‘solo’ TOXIC material, but for right now it's definitely a solid band. Also, this record is definitely less thrash and more dirty rock ‘n’ roll. Finally, I didn't want to just slap the TOXIC name on it to sell it. I recorded this because I was anxious to record something like this again without over thinking things.”

“Cross Damnation" is currently available as a free download with the optional suggested donation of $1.00 USD from the following sites:

Recorded as sort of a return to form of the demo era of Toxic Holocaust (Critical Mass in particular). Raw, stripped down, reverbed and distorted to hell.

I decided to not call this a Toxic Holocaust record for a few reasons. The main one being Toxic has sort of morphed from being a solo project to now being a full band. That's not saying you wont see other "solo" Toxic material, but for right now it's definitely a solid band. Also, this record is definitely less Thrash and more dirty Rock n Roll and finally I didn't want to just slap the Toxic name on it to sell it. I recorded this because I was anxious to record something like this again with out over thinking it.

Recorded in two days in a rehearsal room.
