Pre-Order: Gammacide - Toxic Mercenaries [CD]

NoLifeTilMetal Records and Gammacide are teaming up to re-release the original Texas thrash metal masterpiece Victims of Science on strictly limited-edition vinyl and CD. Gammacide is an aggressive thrash metal band with a very short but powerful history. When Texas metal pioneers Warlock disbanded in 1985, guitarist Rick Perry and Eric Roy formed thrash band Gammacide. The band recorded their first 5-song demo in 1987 which made the band a cult favorite amongst the metal fanzine and tape traders of the time. Scott Shelby joined in 1988 as a second guitarist, thus doubling the bands crushing guitar assault. In the summer of 1989 entered Sound Logic Studios in Dallas to record their debut Victims of Science, which was released in early 1990 on Wild Rags Records, becoming one of the label's bestselling records. Gammacide recorded a 4-song demo in 1991 but by 1992 the band folded. In the late 90's and early 2000's the internet gave new exposure to Gammacide and created interest in Texas metal's most intense thrash experience. After many years of inactivity, Victims Of Science album was reissued on CD in 2005, and the band briefly reunited for a Texas tour to commemorate ""20 Years of Toxic Metal. "" In 2022 NoLifeTilMetal Records put out a CD and black vinyl version of Victims of Science. That pressing sold out. In 2025, Gammacide spread the toxic Texas thrash throughout the underground on a U. S. tour. The band is headed back out on another U. S. tour in the Summer of 2026. To conincide with the 2026 tour, NoLifeTilMetal Records and Gammacide have teamed up to re-release the original thrash metal masterpiece Victims of Science on limited edition Toxic Neon Green vinyl and Collector's Edition CD. The vinyl will include a 4-panel insert with a 24x12 collage poster. Only 200 copies will be pressed to vinyl. The CD release limited to 500 copies will include a 16-page booklet packed full of photos and memorabilia and will also include with six bonus tracks from the 1991 and 2005 demos. The music is remastered by Rob Colwell (Viking, Accuser, Flotsam & Jetsam, Helstar) from the original DAT tapes.
