Reactivated New Jersey thrash metal outfit WHIPLASH have uploaded a 1:27 second pre-production/demo version of the rhythm tracks to the

new song, 'SNUFF', to their MySpace page.

The band will enter the studio in early March to begin recording its sixth album, Unborn Again, with guitarist/vocalist Tony Portaro handling the production duties. Co-producing the effort will be Harris Johns, who has previously worked with CORONER, HELLOWEEN, KREATOR, SEPULTURA, SODOM and VOIVOD, among many others.

The band will also document the full recording session and edit the footage into a free bonus DVD as part of the Unborn Again release.

As previously reported, Whiplash has released the third in a four-part series of video blogs (see below) documenting the making of the band's new album, Unborn Again. The clip was shot at the Concrete Island Studio.

Portaro remained the pillar of the band while the lineup went through many changes over the course of their six full-length CDs, including

Cult Of One in 1996 and Sit Stand Kneel Prey in 1997. During that time, drummer Joe Cangelosi supplied the drumming on Cause For Conflict for Germany's premier thrash band KREATOR, which was released in 1995. Portaro handled the guitar work for Billy Milano's M.O.D. on a European tour in early 1998 with drummer Tony Scaglione, inviting the return of the original Whiplash lineup for a reunion CD entitled Thrashback.

Whiplash is a three-piece power trio hailing from New Jersey. The band was assembled back in 1984 when Tony Portaro and Tony Scaglione joined forces, recruited Tony Bono on bass and released their first CD, Power And Pain, in 1985 on Roadrunner Records. The debut CD was followed up by their first live performance at Ruthie's Inn Berkley, California with POSSESSED and DEATH ANGEL.

Whiplash's current lineup: Tony Portaro - Guitar/Vocals, Joe Cangelosi (ex-Kreator) - Drums, Rich Day Bass (ex-PRIMAL SCREAM) - Bass.
