Havok

Havok is an American thrash metal band that formed in 2004, part of the wave of acts credited with reviving old-school thrash for a new generation of metal fans. Since their inception, the band has built a reputation on aggressive riffing, breakneck tempos, and socially and politically charged lyrics that echo the genre's golden-era roots while sounding distinctly modern.

Known for their relentless live energy, Havok has become a staple on the metal touring circuit, sharing stages with other prominent acts in the thrash and heavy metal scenes. Their sound draws on the intensity of pioneers of the genre while injecting technicality and speed that appeal to both longtime thrash devotees and newer fans of extreme metal.

With two decades of activity, Havok has cultivated a loyal following through consistent output and ferocious performances, cementing their place among the notable bands in the modern thrash metal revival.
