A Bay Area thrash metal band that started in 1982 and still makes new music today.
If you want to hear their early thrash sound, 'The Ultra-Violence' is the place to start. For something newer, try 'Volcanic' or 'Lost' to see how the band's energy holds up.
Death Angel's 1987 debut 'The Ultra-Violence' became a cult favorite in thrash metal circles, establishing their raw Oakland sound. Songs like 'Territorial Instinct / Bloodlust' show the kind of aggressive riffing and energy that kept them going through lineup changes and a serious car accident. They're still putting out material like 'Volcanic' and 'The Moth,' which proves they never really stopped.
They formed in Oakland in 1982 and released 'The Ultra-Violence' five years later. After guitarist Rob Cavestany's 1990 car accident, they regrouped with Ted Aguilar and put out 'Act III' that same year. Since then they've kept recording, from 'Frolic Through the Park' to more recent albums like 'The Art of Dying.'
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
