If Infrared sound like classic thrash metal, that’s because they are! And rightfully so since they were making music as teenagers in the mid to late 80s back when the Big 4 (Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, Anthrax) were just becoming famous. They literally lived and breathed that scene as it was happening and garnered national attention in Canada through their song and video for Thoughts Caught (In Between). Then....life happened and members took different paths and the music, that was hot in the underground metal scene and loved by demo tape traders near and far, went dormant for 27 years! In 2014 Infrared reunited with 3 of the original 4 members (Kirk, Armin, and Alain), and since original bassist Shawn Thompson had moved to Miami, they recruited Mike Forbes. They released their first full length album, No Peace, in 2016 which features songs written all those years ago. Then, in 2018, Infrared released their sophomore album, Saviours, featuring 8 new songs. In 2019, they went back to the vault to record the last batch of their 80s thrash songs and then followed that up in 2021 with From the Black Swamp which was met with rave reviews from critics and fans alike! With several high profile concerts under their belts including opening for Anvil, Sacrifice, Dirkschneider, Flotsam and Jetsam, DBC, E-Force, Venom Inc., Atrophy, and more, Infrared continue to write new thrash and perform live to the raised horns of a fantastic and growing! http://infraredmetal.ca/
