Great stuff happening for 2023

It’s been a bit quiet here but all of you who follow our socials will have seen we are quite busy!
Last year Paul had to step down from Grindpad due to personal things. It’s sad to see a long time member go but luckily for us Max was quick to step up and is now a full member of Grindpad. We played our first shows together and it’s been a blast. 

We’re looking forward to thrashing into 2023, so come and check us out.
We will announce shows on our socials and on the website.
If you want to support the band, don’t forget to check out our merch on the webshop.

Thanks for all the support and see you soon!

Grindpad will be live streaming this Sunday

Do you miss live shows as much as us?
We miss rocking out with all of you Thrashbangers and decided to do something special for a live stream. We’ll be taking you all to a nice Thrashing beach party! So put on you summer gear, grab a cocktail and join us for a full Grindpad live show, streamed directly to you beach party at home. Just watch out for those sharks!!!
The live stream will start at 20:45 CEST. Check back here on check the stream event on Facebook.
 

Album release date and first song!

Hey all you crazy thrashbangers!

The long wait is over!
We are proud to announce that Iron Shield records will release our new album “Violence” on March 21st 2020.

To celebrate we have also released a first song for you all to bang your heads to.
Turn up the volume and scream with us: “Burn the Rapist!”

 

Welcome Rik!

Hey all you thrashbangers!
We are proud to present Rik as the new bass player in Grindpad.
Remy recently decided to leave Grindpad an we were lucky to find Rik willing to pick up his bass and join us for the coming onslaught.

For those wondering, the album is progressing very well. We’ll have more to share on that soon!

 

Happy and Thrashing new year!!

Hi all you thrashbangers! Happy new year to you all!
To kick off the new year from camp Grindpad we’ve added some new dates so go ahead and check those out.
We’ll soon be announcing some more so keep checking back or follow us on songkick to make life easier 😉

Some quick news on the album. We’re nearing completion but we’re working to make everything sound just right and this takes a bit longer. But we won’t settle for anything less.
So hope the hangovers from the NYE party are gone by now and ready to get some more in the new year!!

 

Paul Beltman joins Grindpad on drums!

Hey Thrashbangers!

We have some great stuff to share today! 
I know it’s been a bit quiet but a lot has been going on. 
First and foremost we are extremely happy to announce that Paul (River of Souls, ex- Sinister, ex- Judgement Day) has announced he will join Grindpad as a permanent member. We could not be prouder and happier with this. Paul has done an amazing job on the Sharkbite! EP and during our times on stage together. He really gives us that last bit of aggression that we were looking for. 
You can read Paul’s full statement here:

With a stable lineup we can also announce we are very hard at work on the new album. This will be our first full length and we have some nice surprises for you! We will be able to share more in the near future.
Meanwhile, we still have some copies left of the Sharkbite! EP so hit that buy now button if you want one.
Rock on!
Grindpad out!
