Lethal is an Argentine thrash metal band founded in 1988 by members of the band Legión.
History The group formed in Villa Martelli, Buenos Aires in 1988 as a traditional heavy metal band that switched to thrash metal. Their debut album was Bienvenidos a mi reino in 1990, recorded almost entirely in English and including the track "King of the Ring". The song was elected the best Argentine song of the year in a Madhouse magazine survey.
