Toxic Ruin is a Thrash/Death Metal band based in Sheboygan, Wisconsin. Toxic Ruin's lineup includes: Stephen Behrendt (Lead Vocals, Bass), David Miller (Drums), Jacob Baneck (Lead Guitar), and Blake Toltzmann (Rhythm Guitar). Since their inception in 2014, Toxic Ruin has quickly evolved into a perfect blend of old school thrash metal, old school death metal, and a long pour shot of modern techniques, concepts, and brutal tones. It culminates in a distinctive, aggressive, intoxicating sound that is heavy as hell, and insanely fun. Nightmare Eclipse was released in early 2021 under M-Theory Audio Records with glowing reviews from outlets across the world. Scream Blast Repeat mentions, "Nightmare Eclipse is a record for the party thrash crowd as well as the extreme metal fantasist, but it’s also as lethal as a heroin overdose. Too much in one go can kill you." With 2022 tours completed, and already planned for 2023, the band plans to push the new LP as hard as possible across the world.
