![]() I’m grateful to say, the tunes have organically gotten heavier. While getting to know one another musically, and as a band, we’re evolving and pushing each other. We’re really stoked on the tunes from the Walled EP, and this being our first crusade with our new drummer Mike Radford, it’s all been a learning process. What has the journey to reinvigorate Intoxicated been like since?Įrik Payne: We really never stopped writing. Two years ago, Intoxicated issued the Walled EP. Payne and Decibel meet over binaries to shed more light on Intoxicated’s Watch You Burn as well as the band’s latest moves (they’re already writing their third full-length). Watch You Burn is a must-hear for diehards of (old-school) Kreator, Death, Protector, Obituary, and Devastation. That Kenny Andrews (Obituary, ex-Andrew WK) and Municipal Waste’s Tony Foresta guest on Watch You Burn is one thing, but that it was produced, mixed, and mastered by Ryan Boesch (Foo Fighters, Andrew WK) at Candor Recording (formerly Morbid Angel’s HQ) in Tampa checks all the requisite “Florida metal” boxes. ![]() ![]() With thrashtastic tracks like “Revelation Denied,” “Assholian Mode,” “Legacy’s Demise,” and “Watch You Burn,” Intoxicated demonstrate hard-to-control brutality with a ragged, dissonant edge. True, the Walled EP was released to headbanging plaudits in 2020, but Watch You Burn shows Payne, bassist/vocalist Gregg Roberts, guitarist John Sutton, and drummer Mike Radford firing on all cylinders. The group, with vocalist/guitarist Erik Payne at the helm, eventually issued their debut, Metal Neck, in 1997, but vanished altogether once Payne (and Obituary’s Donald Tardy) went on to party with maniac Andrew WK.īack for the metallic attack, Intoxicated have released their long-awaited sophomore full-length Watch You Burn. Intoxicated were so punishing that not long after forming Death’s own Chuck Schuldiner took the fellow Sunshine Staters under his astute wings, producing, mentoring, guesting on, and prompting premier metal indies to seriously check out the song-driven death-thrash savagery that were the Scars and Drain demos. Born in Altamonte Springs in 1992, the aggro-thrash combo hit the ground running, owing comparisons to similar cross-genre acts like Revenant, Sadus, and Incubus. Florida death-thrash institution Intoxicated return from the grave with new album, Watch You Burn. ![]()
