The Relapse Symphony take over the DNA with their straight up rock set!

We have been telling you for months now about how awesome the new album, Shadows by The Relapse Symphony is and we can’t wait for you to all hear it. Check out our full album review here. We are less than two weeks away from the release and last night, we finally got to see them perform live for the first time. The Relapse Symphony are out on the Dead Rabbitts Shapeshift tour and they made a stop in San Francisco at the DNA Lounge. The lineup included a killer headlining set by Dead Rabbitts, double dose of vocals by Myka Relocate and some heavy metalcore by Nightmares.

The set was everything we expected as The Relapse Symphony put on a full fledged rock set. Their stage presence captivated the crowd and Bret is definitely in the spotlight where he belongs. His charismatic energy grabs a hold of you as he brings a blend of punk rock attitude meshed with vintage rocker. It was awesome to hear them perform many of their new songs that we have been blasting away too for months now. One thing is for sure, some talk about Rock and Roll needing a facelift and The Relapse Symphony is here to give it a full reconstructive surgery!

A couple highlights were the rock anthem for the youth of today; We Are Broken, Savage Eyes with it’s blazing guitars, and of course the crowd favorite Panic, (Time is Running Out). It was awesome from start to finish and as soon as they were finished, it had me thinking of when is the next time we could see them play!
