***Open Hostility*** is the seventh studio album by Canadian [speed](/source/Speed_metal)/[thrash metal](/source/Thrash_metal) band [Razor](/source/Razor_(band)), released in 1991 by [Fringe Product](/source/Fringe_Product). Drummer Rob Mills was unable to participate on the album due to injuries sustained in an accident, so his parts were performed by guitarist Dave Carlo using a [drum machine](/source/Drum_machine). Mills later returned for the filming of the "Sucker for Punishment" music video. *Open Hostility* is dedicated to the memory of Ray “Black Metal” Wallace.
