Betrayal began the year with a big show at Piere’s and a first place finish at the University of Saint Francis’ Battle of the Bands. The band will finish the year where they started Saturday, Dec. 16, by hosting a release party for their debut album, Dead on Arrival. 

The band aim to resuscitate true thrash in The Fort. By all accounts, Dead on Arrival does just that, hearkening back to the early days of Bay Area metal that gave birth to bands like Metallica, Machine Head, and Megadeth. 

Indianapolis-based Southbound Beretta and Fort Wayne’s indie rockers Man of the Flood will open the show.
