TOXIKULL - Turbulence

DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present TOXIKULL’s highly anticipated fourth
album, Turbulence, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Formed in 2016, Portugal’s TOXIKULL have established themselves as one of the most
unrelenting forces in the European heavy metal scene. Known for a high-energy blend of
traditional heavy metal and speed metal, the band is rooted in the classic ‘80s spirit but
delivers it with an aggressive, contemporary edge.
After building a strong reputation through explosive live shows and uncompromising
attitude, TOXIKULL solidified their status with the release of 2019’s Cursed and Punished
and 2024’s critically acclaimed Under the Southern Light. Their momentum continued to
build with the 2025 release of the live album Echoes of the Arena, a testament to their live
power that crashed into the Portuguese Top 100 music charts.
Now arrives TOXIKULL’s hotly anticipated fourth full-length, Turbulence, the band's highly
anticipated third full-length album. Turbulence represents a maturity in the quartet’s
songwriting, blending the raw aggression of speed metal with the melodic grandeur of
classic heavy metal. An album forged in fire and resistance, exploring themes of inner
struggle and the unconquerable spirit of the metal warrior, the 10-song / 39-minute record
bursts at the seams with electricity and excitement, continuing the arena-ready swagger of
its predecessor proudly. From the high-octane opener “Midnight Fire” to the bountiful
anthemic choruses, Turbulence proves that TOXIKULL arenot just paying homage to the
past; they are forging the future of traditional steel – bigger, bolder, and better than before.
With a production that cuts like a blade (courtesy of Jamie Gomez Arellano, who’s worked
with Ghost, Mayhem, Opeth, Behemoth, Angel Witch, Moonspell, and many others) and a
performance tighter than ever, this album is a call to arms for maniacs worldwide.
For those who somehow slept on Under the Southern Light, TOXIKULL carry the noble torch
of Judas Priest, WASP, Accept, and Manowar but with a distinctly southern European flair.
"We raise our chalices to the all the Toxikheads, the believers, the dreamers, and those who
keep the eternal flame of heavy metal burning,” state the band, “this record is dedicated to
you. It is your passion that fuels our engine and makes this journey possible. Turbulence
stands as a testament to our journey, proof that every scar can be turned into art, and every
struggle into power – to the lessons learned and to the people who were the catalyst for the
themes of this record.”
