If you ever read this blog, you probably know how much I love Toxic Holocaust. The metal side of me loves Toxic Holocaust the way the gay-male side of me loves Liza Minelli, but I digress.
Anyway, the news is that Toxic Holocaust main man, Joel Grind, is set to release "The Yellowgoat Sessions" on January 15th. Toxic Holocaust is basically just Joel, but this album isn't a Toxic album. It's a Joel solo album. Honestly, I don't *really* see the difference, but Joel makes a good point:

“I decided to not call this a Toxic Holocaust record for a few reasons. The main one being that Toxic has sort of morphed from being a solo project to now being a full band. That's not saying you won’t see other ‘solo’ Toxic material, but for right now it's definitely a solid band. Also, this record is definitely less thrash and more dirty rock ‘n’ roll. Finally, I didn't want to just slap the Toxic name on it to sell it. I recorded this because I was anxious to record something like this again without over thinking things.”
Fair enough, and also strangely noble. "The Yellowgoat Sessions" sound like a return to the "Critical Mass" demo-era Toxic. You can give a listen to the album's single "Cross Damnnation" here, and also check out a preview of the entire album below.
