Reunited progressive thrashers TOXIK have issued the following update:
"TOXIK members Josh Christian, Mike Sanders, Lou Caldarola and Tad Leger have been back at work in upstate New York on the NEW TOXIK material and assembling the footage to be included in the upcoming DVD.
"After writing and recording new ideas over the past few weeks, the band has been very pleased with the outcome and also the amount of material that has come together.
"The original plans were to release the DVD later this year with 2 or 3 new songs included. After just a few short weeks, the plans are now to release the DVD which will include one new unreleased song and one new song from a soon-to-follow FULL CD release of new material from TOXIK (which WILL include a drum performance from original drummer Tad Leger on one or two tracks!).
"Also this from the band — watch for an announcement soon directly from TOXIK: We will be posting a demo version of one NEW song on our MySpace page in the near future. It will be available for listen ONLY on the official TOXIK MySpace site for 36 hours!
TOXIK last fall posted a five-and-a-half-minute "teaser trailer" (see below) for "This is Toxik", the official documentary shot and produced by Marabella Productions in New York City.
Back in December 2007, Displeased Records released a DVD from TOXIK entitled "Dynamo Open Air 1988" featuring the group's performance at the Dynamo Open Air festival in Eindhoven, Holland on May 23, 1988 as well as the band's concert at the Dynamo club in Eindhoven that took place two days earlier. A DVD+CD combo was also made available in a limited run of 2,000 copies.

Zo! eindelijk horen we weer wat van het Toxik kamp, het is daar lang akelig stil geweest. Ik ben benieuwd naar het nieuwe materiaal, de solo's zullen waarschijnlijk wel in orde zijn aangezien wat voor meestergitarist Josh Christian is.
