Loudblast is a thrash/death metal band that pioneered the genres in France, and one of the most important French metal bands of the 1990s, beside contemporaries Massacra. The band began in 1986 in the northern city of Lille, France. Its first recording was a split CD with the Nice based band Agressor. Their eight albums, on the record labels Semetary/FNAC and Metal13 were influenced by American thrash metal standards, but evolved quickly to include influences from the American death metal scene and eventually changed their style to a groove oriented melodic death metal style.
