Trashcanned

For almost a decade, Austria's Melodic Death-showcase TRASHCANNED have left their mark on the international metal scene for good. In June 2012, the band announced a farewell tour before their retirement in October. TRASHCANNED's style drew on classical Melodic Death Metal and comprises of Scandinavian Melodeath-inspired guitars, dark growls, powerful drums and spherical keyboard melodies, but also dabbles in (Modern) Thrash Metal. Critics and fans alike compare their sound to bands such as DARK TRANQUILLITY, INSOMNIUM, ARCH ENEMY, IN FLAMES or AMON AMARTH. Since their formation in 2003, TRASHCANNED played more than 120 shows in Austria's top locations and headlined numerous underground festivals, but also performed in clubs and at festivals in Germany, Sweden, Norway, Ireland, Italy, the Czech republic, and Slovenia. The band toured with Wacken Metal Battle winners TORTURE SQUAD (BRA), supported international top acts such as SWORN ENEMY (USA), DIE APOKALYPTISCHEN REITER (D), MAROON (D), EVERGREY (SWE), THE SORROW (A) or DEVASTATING ENEMY (A) and won 2007's „Metal For Fairness“ contest, besting 40 other metal bands from all over Austria. The band's live experience accounted for their special trademark – impressive and intense live shows. One of their career's highlights was certainly the worldwide release of their second album „Key to the Paradox“ (August 2010, Terrasound Records / Twilight Records). The “5-men-1-woman”-formation's distinct and modern interpretation of Melodic Death/Thrash, the record's brilliant production at Hinterhof Studios and the band's songwriting prowess generated rave reviews of the album. TRASHCANNED's farewell show took place on October 27th, 2012 in Vienna. Consecutive projects of the band members will be announced soon.
