With the worldwide release of their second album „Key to the Paradox" (August 2010, Terrasound Records / Distribution: Twilight Records), Austria's Melodic Death-showcase TRASHCANNED have left their mark on the international metal scene for good. The "5-men-1-woman"-formation's distinct and modern interpretation of Melodic Death/Thrash, the record's brilliant production at Hinterhof Studios and the band's songwriting prowess have generated rave reviews.
Since their formation in 2003, TRASHCANNED have played more than 100 shows in Austria's top locations, but also in clubs and at festivals in Sweden, the Czech republic, Germany, Italy and Slovenia. The band has toured with Wacken Metal Battle winners TORTURE SQUAD (BRA), supported international top acts such as DIE APOKALYPTISCHEN REITER (D), SWORN ENEMY (USA), MAROON (D), EVERGREY (SWE) or THE SORROW (A) and won 2007's „Metal For Fairness" contest, besting 40 other acts. The band's live experience accounts for their special trademark – impressive and intense live shows.
TRASHCANNED's style draws on classical Melodic Death Metal and comprises of Scandinavian Melodeath-inspired guitars, dark growls, powerful drums and spherical keyboard melodies, but also dabbles in (Modern) Thrash Metal. Critics and fans alike compare their sound to bands such as DARK TRANQUILLITY, INSOMNIUM, ARCH ENEMY, IN FLAMES or AMON AMARTH.
