The California metal scene definately had a strong effect on this band. Their tracks remind you of some of the legends of metal, including Exodus, Metallica, and Testament. The vocals are the definition of old school metal, from high screams to thunderous lows. The riffs are simple but keep your head banging until your neck cramps up. This is truly a metal band for fans of TRUE metal. They have already played numerous shows and have been raising hell all over California. If thrash continues to make its return, this band will be in the forefront So raise your fists, turn it up, and let the headbanging commence.

Setlist

Aftertayst has about 30 original songs and several covers in their arsenal. They generally play about 45 minutes but can play about 2 hours of all originals. They have a standard 6 or so songs we always play and then mix the set up with 2-3 others. They pull out the covers depending on the audience and how much time is alotted to play.
