HIRAX "Hellion Rising" (official video clip)

[@horsepowerenthusiast6933]

I'm black myself, and feeling like I'm alienated because of how I'm the only black person who lives rock. Seeing this makes me have faith in humanity.

[@chefsloth7817]

Horsepower Enthusiast you should check out a band called death. Now it should be noted that there are 2 bands called death but one is comprised of all black dudes pretty killer rock and roll from Detroit if I’m not mistaken

[@Themachinegun]

It's hard to find Black people into metal. And even harder to see black people in metal bands. But believe me, we are out here thrash'n, mosh'n, and headbang'n!!!! Just remember, it's not about the skin color. It's about the Metal and those horns in the air!!!!

[@gloriousking777]

same here buddy

[@Frontbuner]

I love when black dudes are into metal. Makes me wanna hear their life story and how they got into metal.

[@идунавы1]

@@Themachinegun а в сложившемся менталитете?Да и в целом лучше делать что-то подобное пако де луции ,ал ди меоле,хендриксу, томми эммануэлю

[@CelestialJudge]

Kicking myself for not having heard of these dudes before now. These guys are legit! This is the kind of kick-ass thrash metal I grew up on!

[@BBMetalKing]

Katon is a legend in the thrash scene. Doubters need to leave!

[@hinjurock]

+Jason - TheMetal_King For sure - I used to see him hanging out at all the best Thrash Metal shows in LA back in the 80's, always supporting the scene.

[@josebatres2828]

Katon W. is old school

[@steevrawjers]

and he is a heck of guy!! he is a super nice guy and a total thrasher

[@metalaladdin6366]

He can easily join so many bands with that fucking voice. One day maybe we'll see him in something that will give him the attention he deserves

[@torehy5912]

Why would anyone doubt? Katon is a true legend

[@hinjurock]

Kicking some serious ass here, old-school 80's Thrash Metal style! And Katon's voice has gotten better and more ballsy-sounding with age.

[@hinjurock]

***** Yes, I was \m/

[@TMoody]

It was GREAT growing up in the 80's.... I consider myself very lucky. Good to see thrash bands still carrying the torch! I am really digging Warbringer and Hatchet recently.

[@TMoody]

This band reminds me of the birth of great music.... awesome fuckin' shit.

[@hinjurock]

***** I didn't have a vehicle in the 80's - I don't drive. Lol And I hated most things about the 80's other than the thrash metal and hardcore punk that came out in that era. There were some good movies, but a lot were cheesy. I liked the early 90's best out of any time period in my life, but after Kurt Cobain killed himself that decade went downhill fast.

[@hinjurock]

***** Right on.

[@VomitRottenn]

This vocalist is the spirit of metal. Pure passion.

[@paulzermeno6244]

Katon, like all of us, has his influences however he stands alone with his Sonic assault, he is and always will be a true metal legend as will the band HIRAX I f****** love these dudes

[@trevorkeay5792]

I seriously thought this was a joke for the first 10 seconds, but this guy is the real deal. This is good shit.

[@BJ.Cardoso]

It really sounds like old school stuff

[@Guitarsthatkill]

Yeah they have a great not-taking-themselves-too-seriously vibe coming across.. refreshing yet its deceptive cause when the music gets going you can hear how utterly committed they are. Great stuff.

[@nellsonstout7001]

BJ. Thrash they’ve been around since 84. They’ve had time to get their shit straight.

[@Orozco694]

why you thought it was a joke?

[@blazeandcyrus]

they are bad ass

[@sullyb23511]

Fenriz has a Hirax patch on his war vest. Nuff said.

[@netrioter]

That's all you had to say...

[@shippo36able]

Facts yo!

[@OervTheMighty]

Love it how the Drummer is just standing in the back, banging his head. Cool song, consider buying the record

[@jamesfleisher4107]

Must respect to these guys man. The old school thrash is here to stay. Killer vocals and thrash instrumentation. I absolutely love the shit out of it

[@matthewrivera451]

I was so into finding bands like literally every day. It's became a hobby for me. I came across these dudes and they are good af.

[@jeevanjose6571]

i dont care how katon sounds like but its the attitude man.he is just a ripper.a true metal maniac.

[@HELLYEAH1313]

Hirax RULES. Killer track.

[@scottwoodham7842]

I'm 54 and my wife is 55 and we love this group Big Time and we are Christian and we are Pro-life and we are agains abortion okay letting you we are Pro-life okay

[@allanchrist666]

Just had Hirax and Ghoul play a party in our backyard! Shit was off the hook!! Helluva turnout and not one fight broke out surprisingly. Usually we’re extinguishing 8 brawls per show. But this had an awesome turnout! Katon is a solid dude!!

[@mr.d.572]

Katin still sounds good. I remember him from the 80's when I had a metal fanzine.

[@tienpeladen9058]

Hirax es una banda de culto, de esas que nunca perdieron su esencia y hasta el fin de sus días seguirá siendo auténtica, cosa que muy pocas bandas pueden decir. Aguante Hirax...!!!!!!

[@dkev001]

I didn't realize how much these guys sound like early Overkill.

[@metalupyourass9247]

Exactly sounds like something from Under The Influence! It's fuckin awesome!

[@dante666jt]

No Hirax sounds much different. It's because of Katon

[@stirgy4312]

I remember my friend bought the Raging Violence LP when it came out in 85?. We were sophmores in high school. He liked Pushead and his artwork and bought it just to check it out. He liked it, so did we, but made a bit of fun of him from straying from the Metallica-Slayer-Exodus-Megadeth-(and sometimes Anthrax) loop - that and a thrash metal singer with an afro - BUT years later I've come to appreciate Hirax and all their stuff. It's punch yourself in the face fucking brutal It's like an Evel Knievel jump/crash... They haven't changed much over the years and in this case, It's an absolute excellent thing.

[@jimmurphy3287]

Been listening to thrash a long time and only discovered these guys lately. Absolutely awesome.

[@70gambit]

Lead singer has a great voice.

[@zuidwijker66]

Hirax rocks!! Saw them yesterday!!! It was great..

[@davekp6773]

I'm back in the 80s. He has a Bobby Blitz Ellesworth vibe, or rather his voice reminds me of old Overkill. Music also reminds me a bit of Handle with Care era Nuclear Assault.

[@LatexCult]

Vocals of Katon reminds me of early Bobby Blitz

[@YuckTradingCo]

just discovered this incredible band and now I need to listen to this on repeat basically forever

[@whiptech]

Still have my Hirax albums from the 80's. These guys were legit. *

[@steevrawjers]

ARE

[@acenine8149]

This guys' got some serious pipes on him.

[@lynchie137]

He sounds a little bit like Blitz from Overkill to me

[@Ozzmaster2112]

lynchie137 he sounds JUST like Blitz personally, which i think is fucking awesome cause those vox are by no means easy to pull off

[@lynchie137]

Ozzmaster2112 Not to mention that both guys have to be up in their fifties by now, and they're still letting it rip vocally. Amazing stuff.

[@Ozzmaster2112]

hell yea!

[@lynchie137]

Ozzmaster2112 I missed out on Hirax the first time around so I'm kind of playing catch up with what they've done, but I like what I heard so far. Any albums you'd like to recommend for me to check out?

[@mikesmith6594]

Hirax, Overkill, Exodus, Accept all are like AcDc on speed this is Epic!!!

[@johnnyjohnson185]

Katon is striking the most important and imposing pose in all of heavy metal metal that was perfected by Dan Lilker: The Evil Grapefruit Squeeze pose @ 3:20

[@iprey4surf]

Truest and best comment on here. Long live Thrash!

[@DonAltopio]

thats a mans balls and penis bro 😂 after he maimed the sunuvagun 😂

[@DonAltopio]

​@@iprey4surf check mine bro 😌 humbled as it be

[@sergiomarques1920]

Katon sings a lot and the band's sound is awesome Had a T-shirt with the RAGING VIOLENCE album cover HIRAX!!

[@jbotelho2876]

They also have a sound resemblance to Exodus too. Killer band.

[@jaimemoravillar7271]

Maybe but not

[@stevebaxter3647]

Totally Awesome. I forgot how good this lot are. Outstanding voice, awesome Thrash.

[@andreagierig29]

[@samanthablackman4960]

god damn I thought I'd never find a black guy in a metal band seriously why aren't there more

[@JoeMama-hn9ti]

While I don't necessarily like metal-core the vocalist from "The Devil you know" (ex-frontman of killswitch engage) has a rather good voice

[@zerazara]

here are some more bands: - Suffocation - Killswitch Engage - God Forbid - Unlocking the Truth - Skindred - Sepultura - Sevendust - Straight line stich We also have a small "Black Metal" band from Africa called "Demogoroth" (Black Metal, oh the irony :D ) And let us not forget one of the greatest and influential metal/rock guitarists of all time, "Jimi Hendrix" and Slash from "Guns and Roses" ;)

[@tensedone595]
