Info


Following many legendary headliners at OEF we can announce a true cult of the cults, the Canadian thrashers of RAZOR!!! Founded in 1983 in   Guelph, Ontario, Canada, Razor have always belonged and still belong to the pioneers of speed and thrash metal styles. Everyone knows their legendary records like Executioner´s Song, Evil Invaders or Violent Restitution as those are the underground thrash metal gems.
