Toxik, formed in 1985, was an amazing band thrash-power-metal-progressive if you will band, that had an incredible style. Their debut album called “World Circus”, had an incredible mixture of chords, guitar solos, bass and incredible vocals very much in the style of Rob Halford, that resulted in a unique combination, not likely to be heard in that decade. That album incorporated ultra fast riffs, very rhythmic chord and ultra fast melodic solos. Josh Christian guitar style was simply amazing, a true shredder. I think Toxik was a band ahead of its time; you could count with your fingers metal bands that sounded like that in an 80´s decade dominated by glamm metal (Motley Crue, Bon Jovi, Poison, etc).
