- Lash Out
Lash Out is a Norwegian hardcore/metal band formed in
1992 inMolde . They disbanded in1999 . Its members went on to form bands such asJR Ewing ,Thunderbolt andSportswear .History
Lash Out arose from the remains of former hardcore bands based in the scene in and around the city of
Molde ,Norway . The former four-piece, by now five-piece band, got together in the last months of1992 and recorded their first demo tape. This recording gave them a deal with the German labelStormstrike Records . Since then the band have released a 12"/MCD entitled "The Darkest Hour" (November1993 ) and donated a track for a split 7" with labelmates Contention (January1994 ). Both releases sold very well and have been given solid reviews worldwide, describing the band's output playing moshy, metallic hardcore.In the summer of
1994 Lash Out recorded six new songs. Five of them appear on the "Worn Path" 12"/MCD and represent Lash Out as a more mature band dedicated to an even heavier and more melodic sound. The remaining track from the1994 recording sessions appeared on a compilation of European hardcore bands onConquer the World Records in the US.Fall
1994 saw the emerging band on a European tour spanning more than twenty dates inDenmark ,Germany ,The Czech Republic ,Switzerland ,Belgium ,England andNorway . They've since played more than 20 shows inNorway , and in November1995 did an eight-date tour ofSweden . Around Christmas '95 Lash Out headlined the annual M.A.D. X-MAS Festival tour, with 10 dates inGermany alongside four German bands. Lash Out has proved themselves to be a live band of immense proportions - their moshy sound really got the crowds moving.Members
