FROLIC brings thrash metal to the future - here not just to open up the circle pit (guarenteed at every show), but to push the boundries of what a Thrash Metal band from the Bay Area can sound like while still carrying the torch of--and staying true to--one of the most important artistic movements in heavy metal's history. From death, trad and black metal to progressive rock and much more, no stone is unturned in the pursuit of pure modern progressive thrash. FROLIC's growing acclaim reflects the pure energy and power fans are treated to during each and every live performance--and legacy acts have noticed.

Formed mid April 2023 in California gold country just outside one the first and possibly most influential American gold mining settlements Sutter's Fort, in Hangtown CA. Founded by producer and guitarist Jonny Burnett ex (13 Thrones, Sovern) and guitarist Hayden Taylor ex (The Descolada Virus) the two whom share a 27 year long “and counting” friendship came together to deliver their tasteful new take on Death Metal. While seasoned with hints of Thrash and Black Metal inspiration and finished off with a proper roasting of 80's style guitar solos/harmonies. Between Realms is undoubtedly carving a new path for metal music and giving listeners a breath of fresh air.  

Wroht (pronounced “rot”) is a metal band from Oakland, CA that blends slamming death metal groove with technical complexity & intense vocal performances. Wroht’s follow-up to 2018’s “galloping death feast” Worship Rot has been a long time coming. After a four-year hiatus, Wroht returns stronger than ever with Dissolution, an album hailed as “one of the better underground death metal albums I have heard all year” by The Great Metal Debate.
