Loudblast

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Loudblast is a thrash metal and death metal band that pioneered the genres in France, and one of the most important French metal bands of the 1990s, beside rivals considered Massacra.[1]

The band began in 1986 in the northern city of Lille. Its first recording was a split CD with the Nice based band Agressor. Their eight albums, on the record labels Semetary/fnac and Metal13 were influenced by American thrash metal standards, but evolved quickly to find its own personality[citation needed].

The band announced that they were splitting in 1999, but after a support concert to Chuck Schuldiner's Death in 2002, the band reformed.
