☢️Thrash Metal Outfit NUKEM Debut Performance Video for Furious New Single, "Random Acts of Violence"☢️

California has always been fertile ground for thrash metal, leading the charge with some of the genre's most legendary acts. San Diego's NUKEM follows in the footsteps of thrash metal's founding fathers, producing the kind of time-tested, neck-breaking thrash that invokes deep nostalgia while still sounding fresh and modern.

Now, the thrashers have not only forged a new union with the label Redefining Darkness, but they are now unleashing a raucous new single, "Random Acts of Violence," which also features a guest guitar solo from Russ Tippins of the band Satan. The track is now available along with a visceral performance video that is sure to summon the kind of balls-to-the-wall, feral mosh pit that would make the late, great Paul Baloff proud. Watch the video HERE.

NUKEM guitarist/vocalist Steve Brogden comments on the heavy yet important lyrical content of the song, "We are stoked to share the first single 'Random Acts of Violence' from our new record. This track is a full bore aggressive thrash metal attack that directly mirrors its lyrical content. In an age where mass shootings, stabbings & people getting beat to death in the streets for a social media challenge has become normal, It truly shows how lost we are as a society. 24 years ago, there was a shooting at my high school leaving 2 dead & 13 wounded by a 15 year old armed assailant. In almost a quarter century, things have certainly not gotten any better!”

"Random Acts of Violence" is taken from NUKEM's forthcoming sophomore full-length, for which details will soon be revealed! Stay tuned...
