Reunited TOXIK Seeks Bassist

Recently reunited progressive thrashers TOXIK are looking for a new bassist.

Due to private circumstances, Brain Bonini was forced to leave the band, which has scheduled a two-week European tour in November, including a co-headlining slot at the Keep It True festival and a headlining appearance at the Ragers Elite festival.

The remaining TOXIK members — original vocalist Mike Sanders and guitarist Josh Christian alongside new drummer Lou Caldarola — are looking for a skilled bass player to complete the reunited group. New York-area applicants are preferred.

To contact the band, write to toxik@toxikmusic.com.

The band's original drummer Tad Leger is not taking part in the reunion because he's very busy with other projects — as a guitarist.

Poland's Metal Mind Productions in January released the reissues of the classic TOXIK albums "World Circus" (1988) and "Think This" (1989). Both CDs came in a new digipack edition on golden discs, digitally remastered using 24-bit technology, and are limited to a hand-numbered 2,000 copies. Each title includes two bonus tracks. The details of the bonus cuts are as follows:

TOXIK "World Circus" (1988) bonus tracks:

01. Machine Dream (demo version with original singer Mike)
02. Radio Interview (from 1989)

TOXIK "Think This" (1989) bonus tracks:

01. Shotgun Logic ***
02. Black & White ***

*** rhythm tracks with no vocals or guitar solos
