Thrash Metal's Crude Kings of Chaos
Rag is a thrash metal band that began as a wild teenage dream of two cousins in the early 1980s. Fueled by visions of rock stardom, the duo—"The Finger" on bass and "Hoss" on guitar—set out to channel the thrash metal energy of their idols: Metallica, Megadeth, Anthrax, and Slayer. However, they gave their sound a unique twist, blending the aggressive fury of thrash with the cheeky, irreverent themes typically found in hair metal. It took 40 years for their rebellious vision to manifest, but now, Rag is here to leave a lasting impression on the metal world.
Their debut album, Time of Month, exploded onto the scene with unapologetic humor, raw riffs, and a sound that's not for the faint of heart. Featuring tracks like "She Smells," "Loose Lucy," "The Red Ragger," and "Herpes Slurpee," the album is as offensive as it is juvenile, with lyrics that revel in misogyny and crude gutter humor. Rag's music pushes boundaries, deliberately provoking with a mix of thrash metal brutality and distasteful themes, daring anyone to look away.
Now, Rag is back with their brand-new follow-up album, Go With The Flow, proving they're far from a one-hit wonder. With tracks like "Chokin' The Chicken," "Baby Gravy," "Between The Cheeks Lies The Eye," and "Garbage Day," the band doubles down on the offensive content, delivering misogynistic anthems drenched in juvenile humor. It's a middle finger to critics and a playground for fans of their unapologetic thrash assault.
Rag's time has come, and after decades of waiting, the world is finally ready for their brand of mayhem—whether they like it or not.
