Denver Thrashers HAVOK Return With Their Second Studio Offering

January 10, 2011

On their 2009 Candlelight debut, "Burn", Denver-based metallers HAVOK quickly proved that they were far more than your average fly-by-night thrash act. Even FEAR FACTORY's Gene Hoglan took note of the young band saying, "HAVOK lays it down old-school heavy like a sharp stick in the eye."

"Time Is Up", the band's follow-up to "Burn", will be released via Candlelight Records on March 29. Featuring ten tracks mixed by guitarist-turned-producer James Murphy (TESTAMENT, DEATH, OBITUARY),the record immediately showcases the band's collective penchant for writing mammoth thrash anthems and the flawless musicianship that's come from the last year's worth of tireless live performances, including national tours with PRIMAL FEAR, HATCHET, HAMMERFALL and WRETCHED, as well as regional dates with DESTRUCTION, CEPHALIC CARNAGE, EXODUS, ANTHRAX and others. Blistering guitar and drum work once again highlight the record, particularly on standout tunes like "Prepare for Attack", "Fatal Intervention", "Covering Fire" and "Scumbag In Disguise". Bringing it all together is striking cover art by illustrator Halsey Swain.

"Time Is Up" track listing:

01. Prepare For Attack
02. Fatal Intervention
03. No Amnesty
04. D.O.A.
05. Covering Fire
06. Killing Tendencies
07. Scumbag In Disguise
08. The Cleric
09. Out Of My Way
10. Time Is Up

HAVOK formed in 2004. After two self-released albums, the band caught the attention of England's Candlelight Records and by the spring of 2009, the group unleashed "Burn" to the metal masses.

HAVOK will kick off its first tour in support of "Time Is Up" next month as support for Florida death metallers MALEVOLENT CREATION.
