Pissing Razors is a groove metal group from the United States, established in El Paso, Texas, in 1993. Their most recent record, Eulogy Death March, came out in 2021.
History
The band was created by brothers Eddy and Danny Garcia in 1993. Initially, the lineup featured vocalist Dave McNutt and bassist Mat Lynch. Shortly after formation, McNutt departed and was succeeded by Joe Rodriguez. In 1996, they independently released the album Psycho Punko Metal Groove. By 1997, Danny Garcia had left; Eddy transitioned to drums, Lynch moved to guitar, and Rick Valles joined as bassist. Their debut album, titled Pissing Razors, was issued by Noise Records in 1998.
In 1999, Mat Lynch exited the band and Cesar Soto took over on guitar. The group appeared on the compilation Panther: A Tribute to Pantera in 2000. Following several lineup adjustments, including Rodriguez's departure in 2000—replaced initially by Jason Bragg and later by Andre Acosta—and Soto being succeeded by Matt Difabio by 2003, this formation produced the album Evolution.
After disbanding in 2004, Pissing Razors reunited in 2014 with founding members Eddy Garcia and Mat Lynch, returning vocalist Joe Rodriguez, and new bassist Geo Gomez. Early in 2021, they released a cover of Nailbomb’s "Wasting Away." Later that year, in October, their first studio album in eighteen years, Eulogy Death March, was launched.
