NEWS - Toranaga U.K. - "A New Order" UK Thrash Legends

For fans of: Megadeth | Metal Church | Xentrix | Meliah Rage

In the late 1980s the UK thrash scene was exploding, with a horde of bands riding the wave of the most exciting mutation of metal since the movement began. Bands like Sabbat, Xentrix and Onslaught were at the head of the pack and right beside them, in the vanguard, were Toranaga, weaving melody through complex riffs and bursting with a fierce energy and fiery creativity. Their Bastard Ballads debut for Peaceville Records hit with a seismic impact – leading to a deal with major label Chrysalis Records, tours with the likes of Manowar and Venom and a magnificent second album – God’s Gift – released in 1990. Sadly the band fractured under the stresses and strains and bar a brief revival under the banner The Bastard Son Of Toranaga, it seemed their race was run. However in 2024, with original, ever-present vocalist Mark Duffy at the helm, Toranaga were reborn as Toranaga U.K. and now, 35 years on from the release of God’s Gift, the first statement in this new chapter is ready to be unleashed!
