Aftershock 2025 Draws Record-Breaking Crowd Of Over 164,000 Fans, The Largest In The Festival’s History

The West Coast’s Ultimate Rock, Punk & Metal Destination 115+ Bands • 4 Unforgettable Days • Fans From Every Corner of the Globe

Danny Wimmer Presents’ record-breaking 2025 festival season concluded October 2–5 with the largest Aftershock in history — drawing over 164,000 fans from all 50 states and more than 30 countries to Sacramento’s Discovery Park, generating an estimated $35 million in local economic impact.

The West Coast’s biggest rock, punk, and metal festival reached new heights in 2025.

Debuting in 2025, Aftershock introduced several new fan-favorite experiences that elevated the festival weekend to new heights. The Capitol Club offered an all-inclusive oasis with premium amenities and elevated views of the main stage, while Tremors Dive Bar kept the energy high with a pop-up set by DJ Rock Feed with surprise guests My Darkest Days, and a special Sunday takeover by Sacramento’s own The Jungle Bird. Fans also discovered spontaneous performances at Beatbox and a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it speakeasy hidden beneath the underpass — each adding to the sense of discovery and excitement that defined this year’s festival.

To celebrate DWP’s cultural and economic impact to the region, Sacramento Mayor Kevin McCarty, Senator Angelique Ashby, and Assemblymember Maggy Krell honored Danny Wimmer Presents with official recognitions from the City of Sacramento, the California State Senate, and the California State Assembly. The proclamation and resolutions celebrate Aftershock’s decade-long legacy, recognizing its profound cultural, economic, and charitable contributions to the Sacramento community and beyond, and highlighting how the festival has firmly established the city as a premier destination for live music in California.

The 2026 dates for Aftershock will be announced in the coming months along with early bird tickets, allowing fans to lock-in lower level pricing and maximum payment plan options. Fans are encouraged to stay tuned to the festival’s official social media channels and AftershockFestival.com.

In addition to music performances, this year’s edition of Aftershock featured various partner onsite activations, award-winning beverages and delectable eats from partners including Animal Place, Astral Tequila, Beatbox Beverages, Black Shades, Blackcraft, Body Art Express, California Army National Guard, Coors Light, Don Julio, Eargasm, Freak On a Leash, Fxck Cancer, Golden State Cider, Hyatt Vacation Club, Jack Daniel's, Jeffree Star Cosmetics, Little Rocker Clothing, Mortus Viventi, Nowhere Fast, Parlor Root Beer, Red Bull, Sierra Nevada, Strüng, Take Me Home, The Pretty Cult, Tito's Handmade Vodka, To Write Love on Her Arms, Topo Chico Hard Seltzer, and Waterloo Sparkling Water.

Oh my god. It's like a Bay Area Thrash reunion

9
00:00:35.159 --> 00:00:36.840
and after Shock this year. I love it.

10
00:00:37.240 --> 00:00:40.000
Yeah. Yeah, it's our third time playing it. I think

11
00:00:40.039 --> 00:00:42.719
the first time we played it it was similar, like

12
00:00:42.840 --> 00:00:45.439
you like Exodus and Testament, and there was a lot

13
00:00:45.439 --> 00:00:48.920
of Bay Area representation for sure, Bay Area thrash, Yeah, totally.

14
00:00:49.159 --> 00:00:51.560
I think that was a few years ago, right, It

15
00:00:51.679 --> 00:00:54.960
was like that stage, the Corps Light Stage was the

16
00:00:55.159 --> 00:00:56.439
thrash metal space that it.

17
00:00:56.439 --> 00:00:59.719
Was twenty twenty one. Yeah, we also played one earlier

18
00:00:59.759 --> 00:01:01.880
than that. I forget what year it was, but uh yeah,

19
00:01:01.920 --> 00:01:04.000
both times, I guess are all three times now I've

20
00:01:04.040 --> 00:01:05.840
been a Bay Area thrash type of thing, which is

21
00:01:05.920 --> 00:01:06.359
so cool.

22
00:01:07.359 --> 00:01:10.760
My background was I grew up in Jersey. My dad

23
00:01:10.959 --> 00:01:15.319
moved me to LA in nineteen eighty. Oh good time, right,

24
00:01:15.719 --> 00:01:18.560
So I went to Slayers first show ever, Mcalka's first

25
00:01:18.599 --> 00:01:21.560
show ever. Then they deserted us to go up to

26
00:01:21.680 --> 00:01:24.239
the Bay area, and so we had no what.

27
00:01:24.319 --> 00:01:27.879
A bad decision that was, I know, right, yeah, because.

28
00:01:27.840 --> 00:01:30.040
LA was definitely not the place for them. They had

29
00:01:30.040 --> 00:01:32.439
nobody they could play with. I saw a striper open

30
00:01:32.519 --> 00:01:36.040
for Slayer. Wow, like that kind of stuff. So me

31
00:01:36.159 --> 00:01:38.359
and my bro used to hitchhike up to the Bay

32
00:01:38.439 --> 00:01:42.280
Area after that because we were left with nobody to

33
00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:45.760
go to the real threshing. Like I thought, LA was

34
00:01:45.840 --> 00:01:48.879
great till I got to the Bay Area, just like

35
00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:51.159
Metallica felt the same way and Slayer.

36
00:01:50.920 --> 00:01:52.359
Felt this way. What clubs did you go? Like the

37
00:01:52.439 --> 00:01:53.280
Stone I.

38
00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:56.000
Don't even remember, man, It's like all blur, but I

39
00:01:56.200 --> 00:02:00.319
just know that I was like, oh my fucking god

40
00:02:00.400 --> 00:02:02.200
when I went to shows up there, it was a

41
00:02:02.280 --> 00:02:05.719
whole different world. Yeah, man, And this is my battle

42
00:02:05.799 --> 00:02:06.719
vest from the eighties.

43
00:02:07.680 --> 00:02:13.199
Sweet check it out, Suicidal Possessed Excel, I love Excel

44
00:02:13.360 --> 00:02:17.680
Man Megan GBH fuck yeah Fate.

45
00:02:18.039 --> 00:02:21.439
Slayer didn't even have a patch at this point. Yeah, okay,

46
00:02:21.680 --> 00:02:22.400
I put the.

47
00:02:22.599 --> 00:02:26.840
Velvet well well done iron on or something.

48
00:02:27.360 --> 00:02:28.360
Yeah, exactly.

49
00:02:28.800 --> 00:02:31.599
Well. I remember these old Venom patches that fell aparty

50
00:02:31.639 --> 00:02:34.080
after like one wash it right right? Yeah? Yeah, I

51
00:02:34.199 --> 00:02:38.159
remember those Oh shit that Metallica one Too Kill yep, yep.

52
00:02:38.680 --> 00:02:41.960
So definitely some history there. Yeah. Man, it's not like

53
00:02:42.039 --> 00:02:44.719
the vest nowadays where they buy him pre made, right totally.

54
00:02:44.840 --> 00:02:47.199
I put some blood in sweat literally on this thing.

55
00:02:47.240 --> 00:02:49.599
You could tell. You could tell it's seen some action.

56
00:02:49.879 --> 00:02:54.599
Right totally. So I was really bummed earlier. I've had

57
00:02:54.639 --> 00:02:58.960
a really hard day today because when you guys played

58
00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:02.240
who was it? I had to interview I think it

59
00:03:02.360 --> 00:03:03.759
was Exodus.

60
00:03:03.439 --> 00:03:04.639
Oh or something.

61
00:03:05.080 --> 00:03:08.159
It was something like And then while Carrie Kay was playing,

62
00:03:08.719 --> 00:03:14.360
I was interviewing Forbidden and it's like, fuck me, I'm

63
00:03:14.400 --> 00:03:18.280
missing all the sets. But it's worth it because, like

64
00:03:19.000 --> 00:03:22.080
I think, thrash metal, the fact that it's still around

65
00:03:22.199 --> 00:03:25.599
today and still so relevant and all these kids out

66
00:03:25.639 --> 00:03:28.599
there are into it is a testament to the musicianship

67
00:03:29.240 --> 00:03:31.719
and everything that happened in that scene way back.

68
00:03:32.879 --> 00:03:37.240
Yeah. I mean, it's a crazy talented gene pool in

69
00:03:37.319 --> 00:03:40.919
the Bay Area when the metal and thrash metal and

70
00:03:42.879 --> 00:03:44.599
we're all still here for the most part.

71
00:03:44.520 --> 00:03:46.599
So which is wild in and of itself.

72
00:03:46.719 --> 00:03:47.840
Yeah, yeah, absolutely.

73
00:03:48.039 --> 00:03:51.199
I remember going up doesn't matter the world's going to

74
00:03:51.240 --> 00:03:53.719
blow up in nineteen eighty four a way up, right, here.

75
00:03:53.919 --> 00:03:55.759
And for most of us. I mean, I'm a little

76
00:03:55.759 --> 00:03:58.599
bit younger. I'm a generation before. I'm fifty two, so

77
00:03:59.719 --> 00:04:02.759
I wasn't around at the very early ages, the stages

78
00:04:02.800 --> 00:04:04.960
of it. But I started playing in the scene around

79
00:04:05.120 --> 00:04:07.919
eighty seven eighty eight, so a little later, but caught

80
00:04:08.000 --> 00:04:10.240
the tail end of the magic of the original wave.

81
00:04:10.360 --> 00:04:12.719
For the most part, everyone from those old days has

82
00:04:13.240 --> 00:04:16.560
kept their chops up in their fucking oopska.

83
00:04:16.199 --> 00:04:18.319
Square you can tell whatever the fuck you want.

84
00:04:18.480 --> 00:04:20.759
They've kept their chops up and putting out some of

85
00:04:20.800 --> 00:04:23.519
the best albums of their career r like right now.

86
00:04:23.680 --> 00:04:26.959
Right a lot of the bands, so yeah, it's amazing too,

87
00:04:27.160 --> 00:04:29.480
like it's even better than ever. But I was talking

88
00:04:29.480 --> 00:04:31.480
about it in a Forbidding interview. One of the things

89
00:04:31.560 --> 00:04:35.480
I dig about thrash is that a lot of bands

90
00:04:35.560 --> 00:04:38.120
nowadays they used some kind of formula to make metal,

91
00:04:38.800 --> 00:04:41.279
and none of the thrash metal bands ever sound the

92
00:04:41.360 --> 00:04:47.600
same similarities but totally unique in every right for every

93
00:04:47.720 --> 00:04:48.199
band in.

94
00:04:48.199 --> 00:04:50.800
The glory days. Yes, but that's I think that's one

95
00:04:50.800 --> 00:04:53.360
of the reasons why thrash metal kind of died out

96
00:04:53.480 --> 00:04:56.319
in the nineties. Everyone likes to blame it on grunge,

97
00:04:56.439 --> 00:04:59.000
which may have played a part in it, yeah, but

98
00:04:59.720 --> 00:05:02.199
it also a lot of bands were putting out subpar

99
00:05:02.360 --> 00:05:05.959
albums by the early nineties, and too many bands were

100
00:05:06.040 --> 00:05:08.920
sounding the same. Too many bands were dumbing down their

101
00:05:09.000 --> 00:05:11.319
sound and trying to get the big brass ring, you know,

102
00:05:11.480 --> 00:05:13.560
get the big money and get the big tours. So

103
00:05:14.399 --> 00:05:17.720
thrash fedals meant to be fast. When bands start slowing

104
00:05:17.800 --> 00:05:21.879
down and putting out mid tempo albums, people lost interest.

105
00:05:22.319 --> 00:05:24.639
Myself included, I went straight to death metal. It's so

106
00:05:26.800 --> 00:05:30.319
in the glory days. Yes, every band had their distinct

107
00:05:30.480 --> 00:05:35.160
identity for sure, vocally, lyrically, songwriting wise, totally, and I

108
00:05:35.240 --> 00:05:37.720
think it's returned to that now. But yeah, the early

109
00:05:37.839 --> 00:05:40.319
nineties were not a good era for thrash fedal well.

110
00:05:40.879 --> 00:05:44.000
And it may be an unpopular opinion for the rest

111
00:05:44.040 --> 00:05:46.319
of the world, but for me. I remember me in

112
00:05:46.399 --> 00:05:51.160
the twenty five hardcore La metal fan the Metallica fans.

113
00:05:51.560 --> 00:05:53.279
There were twenty five of us that would be at

114
00:05:53.319 --> 00:05:55.920
their show when they came out with the Black album.

115
00:05:56.240 --> 00:06:01.800
We were like fucking poser sellouts. And it's like, I

116
00:06:01.959 --> 00:06:04.360
still like them today. But when you were young and

117
00:06:04.480 --> 00:06:06.319
to your point, when we were young back then, it

118
00:06:06.519 --> 00:06:10.920
was like, yeah, this isn't what I was in it for.

119
00:06:11.199 --> 00:06:13.439
Yeah, Like when I heard it, I was like, god damn,

120
00:06:13.480 --> 00:06:15.959
this album sounds great and I understand why it was

121
00:06:16.079 --> 00:06:18.879
huge and there are some good songs. But when I

122
00:06:19.360 --> 00:06:21.279
like initially when I heard it, I was the exact

123
00:06:21.319 --> 00:06:24.720
same thing, like exact same reaction, like, dude, this is

124
00:06:24.879 --> 00:06:28.040
this is not a thrash moment on this album whatsoever. Right,

125
00:06:28.120 --> 00:06:30.079
But not to take away from it is a good

126
00:06:30.160 --> 00:06:30.879
sounding album.

127
00:06:31.040 --> 00:06:32.680
Right now, I'm a little more mature.

128
00:06:32.800 --> 00:06:36.519
It's like, Okay, it deserves all the acclaim or success

129
00:06:36.560 --> 00:06:40.560
it got, but I'm not a fan of it right right.

130
00:06:42.040 --> 00:06:44.680
Listen, me and my friends I remember, Okay, so we

131
00:06:44.800 --> 00:06:46.680
were going into our shows before even Kill them All

132
00:06:46.759 --> 00:06:49.319
came out, Kill Them All came out, and then Ride

133
00:06:49.360 --> 00:06:52.240
the Lightning came out, and we all said, if you

134
00:06:52.439 --> 00:06:55.800
took fight Fire with Fire off of Ride the Lightning

135
00:06:55.839 --> 00:06:57.600
and put on Kill them All, and took Jump in

136
00:06:57.639 --> 00:06:59.639
the Fire and put on Ride the Lightning, kill them

137
00:06:59.680 --> 00:07:04.240
All with one of the best albums ever, and Jump

138
00:07:04.279 --> 00:07:06.800
in the Fire to us represent that slowing down.

139
00:07:07.279 --> 00:07:09.680
Yeah. I do love that song though, because it kind

140
00:07:09.680 --> 00:07:11.600
of stands out on Kill Them All. It's kind of

141
00:07:11.639 --> 00:07:13.680
the rock and roll tune a little bit. Yeah, yeah,

142
00:07:13.920 --> 00:07:16.879
so I like it because it's surrounded by thrash metal.

143
00:07:17.160 --> 00:07:19.600
One are two songs I'm okay with. It's when the

144
00:07:19.680 --> 00:07:23.800
band started recording entire albums that are just mid tempo,

145
00:07:23.959 --> 00:07:27.199
you know. But yeah, I love the first four Metallic albums.

146
00:07:27.360 --> 00:07:29.120
I didn't like it in Justice for All when it

147
00:07:29.199 --> 00:07:31.879
came out. I thought even that was a step too

148
00:07:32.000 --> 00:07:35.519
far away from thrash. But I well, it took like

149
00:07:35.759 --> 00:07:38.480
fifteen years, But after fifteen years of not digging that album,

150
00:07:38.720 --> 00:07:40.879
I fucking love it Now. I love Injustice for All.

151
00:07:41.240 --> 00:07:45.680
But yeah, the first three albums especially are Magic Absolute Magic.

152
00:07:46.279 --> 00:07:50.279
Which is your favorite album of your band of Death Angel? Yes?

153
00:07:50.519 --> 00:07:55.560
Act three nice and second would be the second album

154
00:07:55.600 --> 00:07:57.839
I recorded with the band, The Dream Calls for Blood,

155
00:07:58.279 --> 00:07:59.959
And most people when they asked me that, they think

156
00:08:00.079 --> 00:08:02.399
I'm gonna pick one of the albums I'm on as

157
00:08:02.480 --> 00:08:05.120
my favorite, But no, I think Act three is their

158
00:08:05.199 --> 00:08:10.040
pinnacle of songwriting and recording and everything. It's they they

159
00:08:10.079 --> 00:08:13.360
were all cylinders are firing crazy on that album, and

160
00:08:13.439 --> 00:08:15.959
we're doing we have a US tour coming up or

161
00:08:15.959 --> 00:08:19.000
we're doing that album in its entirety nice, So it's

162
00:08:19.079 --> 00:08:21.240
a real challenge playing some of those songs.

163
00:08:21.000 --> 00:08:23.079
For sure. Are you gonna play any Florida shows on

164
00:08:23.160 --> 00:08:23.839
that Tourdino?

165
00:08:24.439 --> 00:08:25.199
I don't think so.

166
00:08:25.439 --> 00:08:27.360
Man, we're like the stepchild.

167
00:08:27.920 --> 00:08:30.120
I love going down there and playing down there and

168
00:08:30.240 --> 00:08:33.639
this total metal scene. For sure. A lot of tours

169
00:08:33.679 --> 00:08:36.000
that still go down there. It could it cost a

170
00:08:36.039 --> 00:08:37.799
lot of extra money to dip.

171
00:08:37.720 --> 00:08:40.879
Down their time and time by the time you get

172
00:08:40.919 --> 00:08:45.240
down to May like you could done Florida near West

173
00:08:45.279 --> 00:08:48.960
Balm Beach, Okay. And we don't even have interrestrial. We

174
00:08:49.000 --> 00:08:52.159
don't even have a radio station at support todaymore like

175
00:08:52.320 --> 00:08:52.639
the Buzz.

176
00:08:52.679 --> 00:08:54.840
You don't have a classic rock station, or we have a.

177
00:08:54.919 --> 00:08:58.360
Classic rock but it's even downhill. We used to have

178
00:08:58.519 --> 00:09:01.320
a station called the Buzz and that's where you heard

179
00:09:01.480 --> 00:09:04.879
stuff like Death Angel, Okay, and it's been gone for

180
00:09:04.960 --> 00:09:07.519
a long time. So if you don't have the radio

181
00:09:07.720 --> 00:09:10.759
to support it, that's the problem too.

182
00:09:11.039 --> 00:09:13.600
Right right right? You know? Yeah, I love playing Florida

183
00:09:14.120 --> 00:09:16.279
and we only do it once every like four or

184
00:09:16.360 --> 00:09:19.440
five years. It's like, man, it's a shame. But yeah,

185
00:09:19.519 --> 00:09:20.679
unfortunately we're not going there.

186
00:09:20.840 --> 00:09:23.399
What's your favorite festival to play in the world, in

187
00:09:23.519 --> 00:09:28.759
the world, in the world, I'd say hell Fest. Hello,

188
00:09:29.799 --> 00:09:31.960
Like I hate to say, we're at Danny Wimmer, but

189
00:09:32.679 --> 00:09:37.000
that is my favorite. I cover that festival and oh

190
00:09:37.080 --> 00:09:41.240
my god, it's like just so badass, like the whole

191
00:09:42.320 --> 00:09:44.120
like I can't even explain it.

192
00:09:44.279 --> 00:09:48.159
Every base is covered, I know, right, anything you could

193
00:09:48.200 --> 00:09:52.399
imagine is provided there, right from catering to like the

194
00:09:52.559 --> 00:09:57.759
bars backstage at the bands, all the different stages, like

195
00:09:57.840 --> 00:10:01.240
as a stoner rock stage, a Black Metals, death metal stage,

196
00:10:01.799 --> 00:10:02.519
it's just over.

197
00:10:02.559 --> 00:10:06.320
They had a thrash metal stage, yeah, over the top.

198
00:10:06.440 --> 00:10:08.919
I started to pit for Exodus' show.

199
00:10:09.399 --> 00:10:11.639
Who else played on the thrash metal stage? Do you remember?

200
00:10:11.759 --> 00:10:14.879
Not? I don't even remember, Like it's like such a blur. Yeah, yeah,

201
00:10:15.200 --> 00:10:17.440
I remember Exous because I started to pit and I

202
00:10:17.519 --> 00:10:19.159
was in the whole time. I was like, oh my god,

203
00:10:19.240 --> 00:10:20.919
it's one of the best Exodus bits ever.

204
00:10:21.159 --> 00:10:23.519
It's funny. Death Angels played the hell Fest quite a

205
00:10:23.600 --> 00:10:28.480
few times over the last fifteen years, and the last

206
00:10:28.879 --> 00:10:30.799
couple of times. The last time you played it, people

207
00:10:30.840 --> 00:10:33.960
were complaining that it's getting too big and it's getting

208
00:10:34.039 --> 00:10:36.720
kind of corporate and it's gonna turn into another Vodkin

209
00:10:37.320 --> 00:10:40.360
and that may be inevitable, but when I was there,

210
00:10:40.399 --> 00:10:42.080
I didn't notice any of that. It felt like the

211
00:10:42.159 --> 00:10:44.799
same awesome festival we played every time. Yeah, so I

212
00:10:44.879 --> 00:10:48.519
hope it doesn't lose the little personal time help not either,

213
00:10:48.639 --> 00:10:49.440
but it's great.

214
00:10:49.519 --> 00:10:51.799
It really blew my mind the first year I did

215
00:10:51.879 --> 00:10:55.000
it when it got dark and the whole place was

216
00:10:55.080 --> 00:10:55.879
on fire.

217
00:10:55.799 --> 00:10:58.000
Like you were in Hell Yeah, man, like when they

218
00:10:58.120 --> 00:11:00.840
light up the Yeah, yeah, totally. It's fucking awesome.

219
00:11:00.919 --> 00:11:05.600
So here's a little tidbit of information. Okay, Danny Wimmer

220
00:11:06.480 --> 00:11:10.679
went to visit hell Fest several years ago so he

221
00:11:10.759 --> 00:11:14.399
could model these festivals off the European model.

222
00:11:14.679 --> 00:11:17.559
This is I mean, it's on the right track, man,

223
00:11:18.799 --> 00:11:21.000
as far as American festivals go. This is the best

224
00:11:21.039 --> 00:11:23.399
one I've I've been to. This is, like I said,

225
00:11:23.440 --> 00:11:26.240
our third time playing, and every time it's well run,

226
00:11:27.000 --> 00:11:31.039
totally pro. The backstage accommodations are great. I will say

227
00:11:31.120 --> 00:11:33.519
the last time we played here, in our dressing room

228
00:11:33.600 --> 00:11:36.440
there was a basket full of weed products like h

229
00:11:36.840 --> 00:11:39.480
three year old joints and edibles, and we didn't get

230
00:11:39.519 --> 00:11:40.039
that this year.

231
00:11:40.200 --> 00:11:43.799
God Damn, I think that company's out here. They were sponsoring.

232
00:11:43.960 --> 00:11:47.799
They were called heavy Grass. I think, yeah, that's it exactly,

233
00:11:48.000 --> 00:11:49.960
So they were the ones putting that in there. So

234
00:11:50.080 --> 00:11:52.159
we have to bring heavy Grass back to got.

235
00:11:52.200 --> 00:11:54.840
It, man, you got it. But the pizza of and

236
00:11:54.960 --> 00:11:57.120
over here is kick ass open bar.

237
00:11:57.480 --> 00:12:00.080
Yeah. Did you check out the drip bar too? No,

238
00:12:00.200 --> 00:12:03.320
it was like a coffee bar, some coffee juices, Okay,

239
00:12:03.399 --> 00:12:04.720
shake smoothie.

240
00:12:05.039 --> 00:12:06.519
Kind of hard to check that out when there's free

241
00:12:06.600 --> 00:12:07.720
margaritas right next to it.

242
00:12:07.840 --> 00:12:11.320
Yeah, you're right right, but it always does have a

243
00:12:11.399 --> 00:12:12.480
long line, like everybody.

244
00:12:12.720 --> 00:12:15.080
I couldn't believe there's a line for that. There wasn't

245
00:12:15.080 --> 00:12:17.360
a line for free alcohol, Like, yeah, what is this

246
00:12:17.480 --> 00:12:18.399
world coming to you? No?

247
00:12:18.639 --> 00:12:22.080
Totally, So anything else you want to share with the listeners,

248
00:12:22.159 --> 00:12:24.080
we haven't covered array that they need to know about

249
00:12:24.120 --> 00:12:24.600
Death Angel.

250
00:12:24.879 --> 00:12:26.840
Just be on the lookout for us. In the late

251
00:12:26.960 --> 00:12:29.799
November and most of December, we're going to doing a

252
00:12:29.919 --> 00:12:33.159
US tour doing the Act three album in its entirety,

253
00:12:33.919 --> 00:12:38.919
and we're touring or with Toxic Holocausts, Great fucking Punk

254
00:12:39.039 --> 00:12:43.600
crossover Thrash, Nice Band, and a couple other bands that

255
00:12:43.639 --> 00:12:45.720
are slipping my mind right now. Just make sure you

256
00:12:45.799 --> 00:12:49.720
come and see Death Age. Absolutely, but yeah, we're practicing

257
00:12:49.759 --> 00:12:52.240
our asses off trying to get it to sound as

258
00:12:52.279 --> 00:12:54.399
close to the album as possible. I love it. So

259
00:12:54.639 --> 00:12:56.879
if you're a fan of the Act three album, you

260
00:12:56.960 --> 00:12:59.320
probably won't be disappointed. I hope you won't be disappointed.

261
00:12:59.639 --> 00:13:03.679
I'm sure or I won't. Yeah, because like Thrash Forever

262
00:13:04.120 --> 00:13:07.000
and all right, I'll tell you one last quick story

263
00:13:07.080 --> 00:13:09.080
that you would think. It's funny that I even said

264
00:13:09.159 --> 00:13:14.159
during Forbidden that first Metallica show, Mustain gets off the stage.

265
00:13:14.200 --> 00:13:16.120
I think I was like thirteen, walks up to me,

266
00:13:16.240 --> 00:13:19.960
starts talking to me, hands me it's business card. It

267
00:13:20.039 --> 00:13:24.039
said Metallica power Metal, Dave Mustain because there was no

268
00:13:24.159 --> 00:13:25.480
such thing as thrash yet.

269
00:13:26.320 --> 00:13:30.039
Yeah, man like bands were called power metal or speed

270
00:13:30.159 --> 00:13:33.759
metal right before thrash came along. Yeah, totally so. But

271
00:13:34.000 --> 00:13:35.120
you guys are badass.

272
00:13:35.679 --> 00:13:38.039
