Razor - Band History
Razor, a Canadian thrash metal band formed in 1984 in Toronto, Ontario, has left an indelible mark on the heavy metal genre since their inception. The original lineup featured Dave Carlo on guitar, Rob Mills on drums, and vocals from the charismatic Stace McLaren. Razor quickly gained a following due to their blistering fast riffs and raw energy, characteristic of the thrash metal movement that emerged in the mid-80s alongside bands like Metallica and Slayer. Their debut album, "Evil Invaders," released in 1985, solidified their place in the metal scene and showcased their ferocious sound and lyrical themes often focused on horror and violence. The band's subsequent albums, such as "Custom Killing" and "Open Hostility," further established Razor as one of the prominent acts in the thrash genre, earning them an international following. Over the years, the band has experienced lineup changes, but Carlo remained the constant driving force, ensuring that Razor stayed true to their thrash roots while evolving their sound. The band split in the early 2000s but reunited to perform at various metal festivals and tours, reviving interest in their classic hits and introducing a new generation to their dynamic live performances.
