Pissing Razors is an American groove metal band formed in El Paso, Texas in 1993.[1] Their most recent album Eulogy Death March was released in 2021.

History

The band was started by brothers Eddy and Danny Garcia in 1993.[1] Eddy played guitar and Danny played drums, and they were joined by singer Dave McNutt and bassist Mat Lynch. McNutt soon departed and was replaced by Joe Rodriquez. They self-released an album titled Psycho Punko Metal Groove in 1996.[4][5] By 1997, Danny Garcia had departed and Eddy Garcia switched to drums while Lynch switched to guitar, with Rick Valles joining on bass.[6] A self-titled debut album was released in 1998 by Noise Records.[7]

The band's lineup remained stable until 1999, when Lynch departed and was replaced by Cesar Soto.[6] In 2000, they contributed to the album Panther: A Tribute to Pantera.[8] The band's next two albums were affected by unstable lineups. Rodriguez departed in 2000[6] and was replaced by Jason Bragg, who lasted for about one year and was replaced in turn by Andre Acosta. By 2003, Soto had been replaced by Matt Difabio;[9] this lineup released the album Evolution.[10]

The band split in 2004. After being defunct for a decade, the band reunited in 2014 with original members Eddy Garcia and Mat Lynch, plus returning singer Joe Rodriguez and new bassist Geo Gomez.[11][12] The stand-alone single "Wasting Away", a Nailbomb cover, was released in early 2021.[13][14] Their first new album in 18 years, Eulogy Death March, was released in October 2021.[15]
