Tampa, FL sleazy punk death thrashers Generichrist have released Taste of Death on February 10, 2015 via Horror Pain Gore Death Productions, and features a guest appearance by legendary horror Icon Bill Moseley (Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2, Army Of Darkness, The Devil’s Rejects), who has been on several of the bands past releases.

Hailing from Tampa Florida, Generichrist was formed back in 2003 by lead vocalist Tony Anderson (Doomsilla, Fleshreaper, Skintomb), and their current line-up is stronger than ever featuring Ed Webb, formerly of Massacre and Diabolic. Generichrist’s sick, twisted blend of Punk/Thrash combined with Death Metal results in “Taste Of Death” becoming an experience in horror, sleaze and violence!
