The 1985 Thrash Masterpiece Returns: Raw, Fast, and Unapologetic! Back in print for the first time in nearly 20 years — essential Crossover/Speed Metal from the Bay Area/L.A. scene!
Following a long hiatus from the market, the definitive 1985 debut album by L.A.'s legendary speed metalheads, HIRAX, is back in print. Raging Violence bridged the gap between traditional heavy metal theatricality and the raw speed of the emerging crossover punk scene. Featuring the raw vocal power of Katon W. De Pena and iconic cover art by Pushead, this reissue brings back the raw, DIY intensity that cemented Hirax's legacy in tape-trading circles worldwide.
