Vocalist Katon W. De Pena (Hirax), guitarist Rick Hunolt (ex-Exodus), guitarist Doug Piercy (ex-Heathen), bassist Tom Gears (ex-Blind Illusion), and drummer Will Carroll (Death Angel) have launched a new project called Nefarious. Their new album, “Addicted To Power,” will be released on July 18.

Hunolt commented:

“I’m so honored to be with this amazing group of dudes. About to release some old-school thrash on you mofos. It’s long overdue, and I’m confident you guys will love it as much as we do. You, our metal brothers and sisters, deserve it. See you on the road. Let’s fuckin go!!!”

De Pena continued:

“We’re not a band. We are a gang ready to crush skulls and make eardrums bleed … Necks will be sore …!!”

Piercy added:

“Let’s get ready to rage! We are really stoked to finally be able to release this stuff and discuss it. It’s been under wraps for a while. More insane videos and shows are coming soon! We hope everybody enjoys this release as much as we had fun creating it, for you all!”
