A cult name in the diehard metal underground, since their formation in 2008, WHIPSTRIKER have prolifically pursued an intense and timeless vision of speed metal. All seen under the auspices of selfsame mainman Whipstriker, these Brazilian bastards faithfully cobble together the best and most bellicose elements of classic Venom, Motorhead, Onslaught, Sodom, and Warfare and proceed to level all posers in their path with a personality that's devilish and debaucherous. Through it all, WHIPSTRIKER's discography has been bursting at the seams with split 7"s, but they last released a full-length in 2018, Merciless Battery, for new label home HELLS HEADBANGERS. Some more splits followed the next few years, but for all intents and purposes, the band have been quiet since 2021.
