Frolic Talks Legacies of Cybernetica , Bay Area Thrash, Hectic Records and More on The Zach Moonshine Show

San Francisco Bay Area thrash metal outfit Frolic joined The Zach Moonshine Show on Metal Devastation Radio for an in-depth conversation about their acclaimed new album, Legacies of Cybernetica , their journey as one of the Bay Area's most exciting modern thrash bands, and what the future holds.

Released through Hectic Records , Legacies of Cybernetica has been turning heads across the metal underground, earning praise for its razor-sharp musicianship, progressive songwriting, and seamless blend of classic Bay Area aggression with modern technical precision. During the interview, the band expressed their gratitude for the overwhelmingly positive response.

"We're incredibly proud of it... we were excited and glad to finally be able to share this with folks."

Following the album's July release, Frolic celebrated with a pair of CD release shows before hitting the road to continue building momentum behind the record.

The conversation explored the creative process behind Legacies of Cybernetica , with the band discussing how they balance honoring the legendary Bay Area thrash legacy while refusing to become a nostalgia act. Rather than trying to imitate the past, Frolic embraces a wide range of influences that naturally shape their sound.

"We are as individuals, have our own influences... and we're gonna sound how we sound."

The band also spoke about working with Hectic Records , whose support helped bring the album to fans on vinyl, CD, cassette, and digital platforms, giving metalheads multiple ways to experience the release.

One of the interview's most memorable moments came when Frolic discussed receiving recognition from Banger TV's Metal Monthly , where Legacies of Cybernetica was highlighted as one of the standout releases of the month. For the band, it was a surreal milestone.

"I've been watching Banger for like 10 years... The fact that it got pushed all the way to the monthly video... I was screaming and shaking. I was so happy."

Throughout the interview, it was clear that Frolic is focused on writing the best music possible rather than chasing trends. Their dedication to musicianship, songwriting, and authenticity has positioned them as one of the strongest new voices carrying the Bay Area thrash tradition into the future.
