A high-energy thrash metal act.
The story of TRAITOR begins in 2009 when, after various fun projects by the individual band members, they finally got down to business. Two demos will be released in the same year. “Thrash Metal Victory” and “Inclination To Aggression” reaping pretty fat laurels in the underground. To the highly acclaimed debut "Thrash Command" (2012), the two at least equally strong successors "Venomizer" (2015) and "Knee-Deep In The Dead" (2018), as well as the anniversary box "Decade Of Revival", which commemorates the tenth anniversary was released by the band, the long-awaited fourth studio album by Swabian thrashers TRAITOR will finally follow in the summer of 2022 with "Exiled To The Surface". And that's a sly old dog in several ways. In addition, their reputation as a fantastic live band ensures that the old guard of Teutonic thrash can come together and keep the four guys from Balingen a place in the upper sound check floors of the metal press. Or, even better, just record a song with them. This is what happened on the upcoming album "Exiled to The Surface". None other than Ruhrpott veteran Tom Angelripper from Sodom insisted on contributing his unmistakable voice on "Total Thrash", the title song delivered by TRAITOR to the documentary of the same name about Teutonic Thrash, which will be released in German cinemas on May 31st, 2022. What if that isn't a knighthood?!
