Open Hostility
Open Hostility is the seventh studio album by Canadian speed/thrash metal band Razor. Drummer Rob Mills was unable to participate on the album due to injuries sustained in an accident, therefore guitarist Dave Carlo used a drum machine as a result. However, Mills later returned and performs as the drummer in the "Sucker for Punishment" music video. This album is dedicated to the memory of Ray “Black Metal” Wallace.
