Influenced by bands such as Whiplash, Toxik, and Vio-Lence, Razor's music embodies the raw energy and intensity of classic thrash metal.

With their debut album "Executioner's Song" released in 1985, *Razor* established themselves as one of the pioneers of Canadian thrash metal. Their relentless touring schedule and powerful live performances solidified their reputation as a force to be reckoned with. Over the years, *Razor* has consistently delivered high-energy albums filled with blistering solos and aggressive vocals.

Throughout their career, *Razor* has shared stages with renowned bands like Flotsam & Jetsam, Artillery, Dark Angel, Sadus, Agent Steel, Exciter,and many more. Their discography includes standout releases such as "Evil Invaders," "Shotgun Justice," and "Decibels." With each album showcasing their signature sound and pushing musical boundaries.

Razor with their first studio offering in 25 years. The album, Cycle of Contempt, is a direct, cutthroat record that pulls no punches and takes no prisoners. From the catchy, concise riffs and insistent beats of album opener “Flames of Hatred” to the double-barreled assault, muted power chord chugging and combative gang vocal of album closer “King Shit,” Cycle of Contempt is a trenchant reminder of a time when clubs around the world were packed with long-haired bands that played as fast as they could and mosh pits that spun and tumbled like clothes in a short-circuiting dryer.
