Tonic Breed is a Norwegian thrash and heavy metal one-man music project by Patrik K. Svendsen.

The latest release, Fuel the Fire, involves multiple guest artists as part of a re-branding of the concept.

The audition setlist contained two songs: The band's first single, "Don't Fail Again", and Metallica's "Sanitarium".

The singles contained early versions of "Oblivion" and "Don't Fail Again", which later appeared on the band's upcoming 2010 album release.

Recorded in Fredrikstad, Norway, Tonic Breed's first album release was On the Brink of Destruction.

Tonic Breed continued playing concerts, and former guitarist Bjørn Myhren stepped in to help the band for a short time.

Tonic Breed with guest guitarist Bjørn Myhren managed to qualify for the national finals of the competition.

A newly mastered, and slightly remixed version of "Death in Small Doses" was made by Beau Hill in March 2012.

Within this time, with a band member short, Tonic Breed did a lot of songwriting while looking for a new drummer.

The album was recorded and pre-mixed by Patrik Svendsen and Lars Andresen at Lydlageret Studio in Sarpsborg.

[5] By Norwegian radio program P3 Pyro, Tonic Breed was picked out as one of Norway's most promising bands of 2014.

In November 2016 the band performed their 10th-anniversary concert while wearing the business suits from the "Fifth Estate" music video.

[9] In August 2017, Ole Danielsen officially replaced Daniel Pettersen on drums after rehearsing with the band for a few months.

[10] On 14 September 2018, along with Rob Mules Records, Tonic Breed released their third album Install Memory.

Music videos for the songs Install Memory, Crypto Knight, Mummy Dust and Overkill was directed by Svendsen and filmed by Oscar Birk.

Don't Panic is an animated music video directed by Svendsen and illustrated by Sergio Cosme.

[14] Later, a new single called No Rocks on the Scotch was released along with Soilwork vocalist, Björn Strid and Martin Skriubakken.

Dirk Verbeuren from Megadeth and Wig Wam-bassist Bernt Jansen is featured on the latest single, which Svendsen describes as a song that repeats itself twice with two different endings.
