Lethal (Argentine band)

Lethal is an Argentine thrash metal band. It was founded in 1988 by members of the band Legión.

History
The group formed in Villa Martelli, Buenos Aires in 1988. It was initially a traditional heavy metal band, but soon shifted to thrash metal. Their debut album was "Bienvenidos a mi reino" in 1990, which was recorded almost entirely in English and included the track "King of the Ring". The song was elected the best Argentine song of the year in a survey between readers of the Madhouse magazine.

In 1993, the band released a live album in Lisandro Olmos prison, the disc Radio Olmos, along with some Argentine bands, such as Hermética, Pilsen, Attaque 77, Massacre and A.N.I.M.A.L., as well as the British U.K. Subs. They also played as an opening act for Sepultura, Pantera and Anthrax

They released two hit albums, "Maza" and "Efecto Tequila". Their original guitarist, Charly Guillén, left the band in 1996 and died of HIV/AIDS on that same year. The band took a break and in 1999, released their fifth album, entitled "Lethal 5.0", which was not widely publicized, so the band announced their separation a year later.

In 2007, the band reformed and later released their sixth studio material, titled "Inyección Lethal" with a new lineup in 2010. In 2015, they released their seventh album called "Hasta la muerte".
