Addictive were an Australian thrash metal band, who formed in 1988. They were part of the Sydney thrash metal scene of the late 1980s. They were particularly influenced by Metallica and Sacred Reich.

History

The original lineup of the band was Greg Smith (vocals and bass), Joe Buttigieg (guitar), Mick Sultana (guitar) and Matt Coffey (drums).

Their first album was Pity Of Man, released November 1989. Steve Moore (previously of Enticer) replaced Coffey on drums. Their second album, Kick 'Em Hard, was recorded with producer Bob Daisley. The tapes for the album went missing for over a year, and it was finally released in February 1993, by which time the band had fallen from favour and while they continued to play live infrequently, Addictive finally broke up in 1996. A short time later, Moore joined Dungeon.

In 2004, guitarists Buttigieg and Sultana joined the reformed line up of fellow legendary Sydney thrash band Mortal Sin, although Buttigieg left that group in early 2005.
