Hemotoxin

**Hemotoxin** is a technical death metal force hailing from the San Francisco Bay Area, blending razor-sharp thrash riffs, prog-metal intricacies, and socially charged lyricism. Formed in 2008, the band has steadily evolved with core members like guitarist/vocalist Michael Chavez and bassist Brandon Wilcox, delivering albums like *Biological Enslavement* (2013) and *Restructure the Molded Mind* (2016), which cemented their reputation for brainy, blistering compositions. Their 2022 full-length *When Time Becomes Loss* and the 2023 EP *Call From The Abyss* showcase their knack for balancing melodic hooks with relentless technicality, all while tackling themes like existential dread and societal decay. Whether revisiting their *Demo Days* roots or pushing forward with new material, Hemotoxin remains a staple for fans craving metal that’s as thought-provoking as it is pummeling.
