Echoes of the Arena on CD

TOXIKULL, one of the most electrifying names to emerge from the new wave of traditional heavy metal, announces the release of Echoes of the Arena - their first official live album, captured during a monumental performance at the MEO Arena (Sala Tejo) in Lisbon, Portugal, on December 16, 2024.

Formed in Lisbon, Portugal, in 2016, TOXIKULL have steadily risen as a dominant force in the underground metal scene. With two critically acclaimed studio albums Cursed and Punished) and their latest full-length Under the Southern Light, the band showcases a sound that blends the raw speed and aggression of early Speed and Thrash Metal with the melodic grandeur and epic flair of '80s Heavy Metal.

Drawing inspiration from legends like Judas Priest, Dio, Ozzy Osbourne, W.A.S.P., Saxon, Manowar, and Scorpions, TOXIKULL channels a powerful mix of catchy choruses, blazing guitar solos, and a charismatic, high-octane vocal delivery. But this is no mere nostalgia act - TOXIKULL have carved out a signature sound and an attitude that's unmistakably their own.

Their growing reputation has earned them two successful European headlining tours, performances across Spain, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, France, Czech Republic, Poland, and many more and a loyal international following. TOXIKULL is widely considered one of the most promising and collectible acts in the current traditional metal revival.

Echoes of the Arena captures TOXIKULL at their most intense and commanding - live on stage, in front of thousands, opening for the legendary Kreator. Originally scheduled for June 2024, the event was postponed due to technical issues. When the show finally happened in December, it was recorded in full and now stands as a historic document of a young band stepping into arena territory with confidence and power.

Featuring 7 crushing tracks, including live standouts like "Metal Defender", "Night Shadows", and "Around the World", this album brings the energy and fire of TOXIKULL's live show to vinyl and CD with outstanding quality.

This release is poised to become a collector's item in the years to come, capturing the rise of a band destined for bigger stages. It will be released on vinyl and CD through Lost Realm Records - one of the most respected labels in underground heavy metal.
