Editor's note

Havok's thrash metal tackles modern anxieties

A Colorado thrash band that formed in 2004, known for political themes and technical riffing.

If you want to hear what they're about, try 'Prepare For Attack' for the riffs and 'Identity Theft' for the themes. Both show why they've stuck around.

Havok matters because they've kept thrash metal sharp and relevant for nearly two decades. Songs like 'Prepare For Attack' show their balance of aggression and melody, while titles like 'Identity Theft' and 'Post-Truth Era' point directly at contemporary fears. They're not just revisiting old sounds, they're wiring them to current tensions.

They started with the raw 'Murder by Injection' EP in 2007, then built an audience with the 2009 album 'Burn'. The lineup solidified around David Sanchez and Chris Battson, with albums like 'Conformicide' and 'V' continuing their politically-charged thrash through the 2010s.

Archive material and source history

Havok formed in Colorado in 2004 around David Sanchez on vocals and guitar and Chris Battson on drums. They put out a debut EP called 'Murder by Injection' in 2007, which had a raw, aggressive thrash sound that got them noticed. Their first full album 'Burn' came out in 2009, with tracks like 'Time is Up' helping build their audience.

Over the next decade they kept releasing albums, including 'Time Is Up' in 2011, 'Unnatural Selection' in 2013, 'Conformicide' in 2017, and 'V' in 2020. The lineup shifted at points, with Pete Webber joining on bass in 2012 and Reece Scruggs adding second guitar in 2014, but Sanchez and Battson stayed at the center.

Their songs often tackle political and social themes, with titles like 'Post-Truth Era' and 'Identity Theft' pointing at modern anxieties. They've built a following in thrash metal with a sound that balances technical riffing and melodic touches, heard on tracks like 'Prepare For Attack' and 'From The Cradle To The Grave'.
