In a Nutshell

Some of the most revered thrash-metal bands of the ’80s continue to melt faces in an epic concert event for fans of hard, speedy rock

The Fine Print

At the wildest concerts, singers have been known to throw themselves into the crowd and end their sentences with prepositions. Be shocked and appalled with this GrouponLive deal to see Testament: Dark Roots of Thrash with Overkill, Flotsam and Jetsam, and 4ARM at Bogart's. For $25, you get one G-Pass for standing-room-only general admission on Wednesday, February 20, at 6:45 p.m. (up to a $35.30 value, including all fees). Doors open at 6 p.m.

In the 1980s, a handful of bands took thrash from the underground to the forefront, inviting listeners into their brakeless speed-metal vehicles and leaving skid marks across the pop charts. In 2013, some of the most revered outfits in the history of thrash return to their roots—sharpened, harder, and faster than ever. If the world runs out of jackhammers, it still has the pneumatic music of Testament. The platinum-selling warhorse of Testament is able to drill straight to the earth’s core in the first 30 seconds of any of its songs. The belles of MTV’s Headbangers Ball and gateway band to hard metal have refused to tread water since their debut album, The Legacy, which first throttled listeners in 1987. Testament paints a slaughterhouse soundscape with Eric Peterson and Alex Skolnick’s dueling guitar melodies, Greg Christian’s ribcage-rattling bass lines, Gene Hoglan’s galloping drums, and Chuck Billy’s gravelly, declarative barks. In support of its latest album, Dark Roots of Earth, Testament scares the sun back into its hole with serrated new tracks such as “Native Blood” and epic favorites such as “Over the Wall” and “Disciples of the Watch.” With the exception of personnel and pants, Overkill hasn’t changed a thing since 1980, and it’s made the group one of the best-selling thrash bands in history. Like the Lennon and McCartney of aural carnage, singer Bobby “Blitz” Ellsworth and bassist D. D. Verni write the songs that ignite worldwide mosh pits, and their latest album, The Electric Age, has all the intensity of fan favorites such as Under the Influence and The Years of Decay. With original lead singer Eric A. K.’s operatic wail and guitarists Ed Carlson and Michael Gilbert’s harmonic histrionics, Arizona’s Flotsam and Jetsam burns through decades' worth of wrecking-ball classics and ugly noise from its latest album, Ugly Noise. Representing the new generation of thrash, Australia’s 4ARM starts the show with breakneck time-signature changes, enraged guitar riffs, and Danny Tomb’s heaving vocals as the band lobs audio grenades from its recent Submission for Liberty.

Testament – “Native Blood”

Bogart's

Originally built in the late 1800s as a vaudeville theater and then seeing time as a German film theater in the 1950s, today Bogart's stands as a portal to a world of live music. Six bars stand at the ready to keep rocking bodies hydrated, and three concert-viewing levels ensure pristine sightlines so that lead singers can have midconcert staring contests with anyone they choose.

The Groupon Guide to: Novelty Glasses

While traditional glasses are a handsomeness-destroying nuisance worn out of necessity rather than choice, many eccentric types have put a twist on the formula to come up with a popular variety of "novelty" spectacles. Which one is right for you?

Shutter Shades: You can see out, but no one else can see in, thus preserving for your future wife the honor of looking into your eyes for the first time.

Groucho Glasses: Styled after a popular comedian born in 1890, the world's last remaining pair of Groucho glasses will be recovered in 2029 by a boy rooting around in his grandfather's attic. The boy will briefly try them on, turning to his cousin to say "Hey, Jason, look—I'm a mustache man."

Dangling Slinky Eyeballs: These are gross, man—get 'em outta here!

Oversized Sunglasses: If regular sunglasses send the message "I'm here to party," then these oversized versions loudly declare "I am the party." If you're not wearing a pair of these right now, go back to bed and try life again tomorrow.

Can a pair of novelty glasses transform your entire life? Find out here.
