Initially a solo Black Thrash act, Boston's TOXIC HOLOCAUST date to 1999, then functioning as a full band unit and debuting with the 'Radiation Sickness' demo. The group folded in 2001 but would be resurrected by Joel Grind. Utilising a drum machine Grind cut tracks for a split 7" single, limited to 1000 copies, shared with OPRICHNIKI. In 2002 progress was highlighted by distribution of the 'Critical Mass' demo. Signing to the German Witches Brew label TOXIC HOLOCAUST issued the 'Evil Never Dies' album in 2003. A four way EP in union with NOCTURNAL, BESTIAL MOCKERY and VOMITOR was also plotted.
