Toxitolerant Extremophile cassette

A toxitolerant, by definition, is an organism able to withstand high levels of damaging elements; an extremophile that thrives under “extreme” conditions. There is a theme here that permeates the second release from this Richmond, Virginia punk hardcore band, and it is being hardened by extreme conditions of living. In this second effort, the band leveled up their sound, considering that the first demo was recorded with two iPhones. With each distortion-drenched chord and the vocalist’s venomous screams, TOXITOLERANT unleashes a sonic catharsis that resonates with listeners craving an outlet for their own disillusionment.
