San Francisco got a full-throttle dose of Bay Area thrash energy as Parabellum unleashed their new EP at a packed-out listening party at the legendary DNA Lounge—and this wasn’t your average stand-and-listen event. This was a full-blown, chaotic, family-style metal celebration.
The UC Theatre had that strange déjàvu hum the second I walked in, like the Oakland Omni reincarnated without the danger tax. Backstage was a maze of hallways and half-lit corners, the kind of layout that makes you feel like you’re sneaking into something even when you’re credentialed.
Berkeley is Testament’s backyard, and Parabellum played like they belonged there. No filler, no hesitation, just a fast, heavy set that pulled the early crowd in and got the floor moving.
Your next thrash anthem, “Deserted”, has been UNLEASHED and is now tearing through the airwaves!
