Toxicidal 

Toxicidal is the metal project of Austin Yancy, launched in 2020 from Urbana, Illinois. Fusing the relentless energy of thrash metal with the groove-driven intensity of nu metal, it  is a visceral experience—built on aggression , strife, and an undying love for the genre. Starting in mid 2024, producer/composer Timothy T. Wall of Absent State began co-writing and producing, leading to the release of the first debut album and present day releases.

Lyrically, Toxicidal dives deep into themes of personal turmoil, societal collapse, and the darker sides of modern life. Each track is a cathartic release, reflecting the chaos of the world and the internal battles that come with it. With every new release, Austin continues to evolve Toxicidal’s sound, pushing himself to try and achieve a place in the vastly growing world of metal music.
