Öx45 — Official Band Bio (2025)
Forged in the chaos of the COVID-19 shutdown, Öx45 emerged in April 2020 with a singular purpose: to unleash unapologetic thrash fury across state lines—and stay relentlessly devoted to the cause of metal.** Guttural, grinding, and gloriously unrefined, **they’ve been the best thing to happen to thrash since titty bars and bourbon**. With roots in punk, crust, and crossover aggression, Öx45 quickly established themselves as more than just a band—they became a movement.
Their debut demo, *SCUM*, recorded live at Studio 101 in New Orleans and released in 2021, captured the primal roar of a band born in lockdown but built for the stage. Their early shows—held in New Orleans and at the outlaw Fly N Wheels MC clubhouse in Mossy Head, FL—set the tone: no rules, no safety nets, just full-throttle chaos. They even brewed their own beers, so volatile they couldn’t legally be given away—actual glass grenades of alcohol and metal. Brutal. Beautiful. Undrinkable.
Since then, Öx45 has evolved into a multi-state collective, with active proxy chapters in Texas, Louisiana, and Florida, and emerging activity in Wisconsin and Alabama. This DIY expansion strategy has allowed the band to stay ever-present, ever-mobile, and impossible to pin down.
In their home base of New Orleans, Öx45 has become an underground institution, playing regularly and organizing the raucous Krewe of Fuck ‘Em—a rogue Mardi Gras parade of metal, noise, horns, and heavy attitude, co-hosted with Carnage Guisada and friends. These guerrilla parades are part punk protest, part trash carnival, and all thrash mayhem.
Öx45 has played numerous punk and metal festivals and continues to rage across the Gulf Coast, hitting everywhere from Texas to Florida and every dark dive in between. Their recent singles—“Belligerent Bum Rush” and “Nuke the Whales”—are leading the charge toward their upcoming full-length album, Fuck ‘Em, produced by metal icon Bill Metoyer (Slayer, D.R.I., Municipal Waste). And in 2025, they dropped a blistering cover of “Immigrant Song,” proving there’s no genre boundary they won’t smash for fun.
