This photo series documents Parabellum during a recording session at Crowkeeper Studios in Sacramento, engineered by Jesse Fioren and produced by Gary Holt of Slayer and Exodus. The work focuses on the early stages of a young, driven thrash metal band, capturing the raw energy, discipline, and creative tension inside the studio.
