Havok are an American thrash metal band from Denver, Colorado, active since 2004. Alongside acts like Municipal Waste and Warbringer, they are credited with driving the late-2000s thrash revival, blending old-school Bay Area aggression with politically charged lyrics. Their five studio albums span from "Burn" (2009) to "V" (2020), with frontman David Sanchez the sole constant member throughout.
Havok replaced Possessed on Exodus' 'Swarm of Horror' tour in the USA in spring 2025 after Possessed withdrew due to health issues.
The band released the EP "New Eyes" on November 1, 2024 via Afterburner Recordings - their first independent release since the band's early years.
"New Eyes" contains two original tracks as well as covers of Metallica's "Eye of the Beholder" and Creedence Clearwater Revival's "Commotion".
Havok is on a European tour in September 2026 with stops in Frankfurt, Bochum, Eindhoven and Brussels, among others.
