Havok is an American thrash metal band hailing from Denver, Colorado, formed in 2004. The group is known for their energetic and technical style, which pays homage to the thrash metal giants of the 1980s while injecting a modern ferocity into the genre. Over the years, Havok has built a reputation for their blistering speed, intricate guitar work, and politically charged lyrics. The band comprises David Sanchez (lead vocals, guitar), Reece Scruggs (lead guitar), Brandon Bruce (bass), and Pete Webber (drums), as the lineup has evolved since their inception.

The band's discography showcases a relentless commitment to the thrash metal art form, with "V" being their fifth and latest studio album, released in 2020. The record received praise for tracks like "Fear Campaign" and "Post-Truth Era," which continue to demonstrate the band's ability to blend breakneck riffs with topical themes. Their earlier works like "Unnatural Selection" and "Time Is Up" showed the genre that Havok meant business, with songs that have since become staples in their high-octane live shows. Live performances, such as the dynamic "Claiming Certainty (live)," capture the raw power and precision of Havok's stage presence, cementing their place in the modern metal scene as a force to be reckoned with.
