news. WHIPLASH announce new album „ROAR“

Time To Kill Records is proud to announce the signing of WHIPLASH, welcoming one of American thrash metal’s most enduring underground forces to its roster. Led by true underground warrior Tony Portaro, the New Jersey veterans have spent more than four decades keeping the raw spirit of thrash metal alive, inspiring generations of musicians and fans who still believe in the power of riffs, sweat and genuine passion.

The partnership will see WHIPLASH release their new album, „ROAR“, on November 27th, 2026. Recorded at Studio Mozart and Concrete Island Studio, produced by Tony Portaro and mixed by Jamie King Audio, the album delivers ten explosive tracks that capture the raw energy of the band’s live performances while reflecting Portaro’s continued evolution as a songwriter and musician.

Songs such as „Sonic Asylum“, „Bullet Train“ and „Who Stole My Whiskey“ hit with full-force precision: this is thrash crafted for the mosh pit, not the algorithm. „ROAR“ offers exactly what one should expect from WHIPLASH: real metal built around riffs, songs and attitude, with no interest in unnecessary embellishment or whatever fashionable nonsense happens to be circulating outside the pit.
