Current & Former Members Of DEATH ANGEL, EXODUS, HIRAX & More Launch New Band NEFARIOUS

Hey look, a bunch of big-name thrash guys have a new band called Nefarious! The band consists of vocalist Katon W. De Pena (Hirax), guitarists Rick Hunolt (Diehumane, ex-Exodus) and Doug Piercy (Heathen, Anvil Chorus, Blind Illusion), bassist Tom Gears (Blind Illusion, Ancient Mariner), and drummer Will “Beastman” Carroll (Death Angel).
“We’re not a band,” said Katon De Pena. “We are a Gang ready to Crush Skulls and Make Eardrums Bleed… Necks will be sore…!!”
Hunolt said of the project: “I’m so honored to be with this amazing group of dudes about to release some old-school thrash on you mofos, it’s long overdue and I’m confident you guys will love it as much as we do you our metal brothers and sisters deserve it, see you on the road, let’s fuckin go!!!”
