Thrash or Die
Thrash or Die is an American thrash metal band from Miami, Florida.[1] The band was formed in 2007 by vocalist Ralph "Dr Fukk" Viera and lead guitarist William "Hellvomit Sodomizer" Barter. Their first lineup consisted of drummer Cesar "Darth Vodka" Placeres, rhythm guitarist Chris "Triplesixxx Whoremangler" Placeres, and bassist Mario Cianci. This lineup recorded a demo in 2010,[2] and released their debut album Poser Holocaust on May 18, 2011 on the independent label Empingao Records. After several lineup changes and the addition of guitarist Ryan "Nightcrawler" Taylor, drummer Alex "Thunderhammer" Marquez, and bassist Josh "Mosh" Gibbs, all of Solstice, the band, still anchored by Viera and Barter, released their second album Melting Your Skull on October 25, 2015.
