About Me

A solid force in the Monterey/Salinas metal scene, Retribution has paid its dues over the past five years. With roots in thrash and heavy metal, they blend melody and harmony with speed, driving riffs and aggressive vocals. Retribution has an ever-evolving sound and wish to stand out, in their own respect, as a unique band. A tight stage performance and devoted fans mark their live experience.
