You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.199.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 12:56, 12 May 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Toxic Holocaust''' is an American [[thrash metal music|thrash metal]] band from [[Portland, Oregon]].

== History ==
[[File:TH - (5370144435).jpg|thumb|left|Toxic Holocaust in 2011]]
Joel Grind founded Toxic Holocaust in 1999. He originally wrote and recorded all of the band's music himself, and after a couple of demo releases (''Radiation Sickness'', 1999; ''Critical Mass'', 2002), he made his official album debut as Toxic Holocaust with ''[[Evil Never Dies]]'' (2003).

Two years later, after some touring with a hired backing band, Grind released the second Toxic Holocaust album, ''[[Hell on Earth (Toxic Holocaust album)|Hell on Earth]]'' (2005), which once again he wrote and recorded by himself. The album notably features cover art by [[Ed Repka]], known for having created iconic covers for albums by [[Megadeth]], [[Death (metal band)|Death]] and others. Extensive touring followed, along with a recording contract with [[Relapse Records]].

In addition to releasing the third Toxic Holocaust album, ''[[An Overdose of Death...]]'' (2008), Relapse reissued ''Evil Never Dies'' and ''Hell on Earth''. Toxic Holocaust also recorded and released a number of other recordings: ''Gravelord'' (2009, EP), ''[[Conjure and Command]]'' (2011), and ''[[Chemistry of Consciousness]]'' (2013).

In 2019 Joel Grind signed to Entertainment One, and released ''Primal Future: 2019'' later that year.<ref>((cite web|title=TOXIC HOLOCAUST Announces Primal Future: 2019 With New Song "Chemical Warlords"|url=https://metalinjection.net/av/new-music/toxic-holocaust-announces-primal-future-2019-with-new-song-chemical-warlords|website=Metalinjection.net|accessdate=August 13, 2019|date=August 13, 2019))</ref> Tours were planned but halted due to the spread of [[COVID-19 pandemic|COVID-19]].
