Death Angel were one of the most popular thrash bands of the 80s. They spearheaded the second wave of thrash and their popularity soared following the release of their acclaimed third album ‘Act III’ (1990), which showcased the band’s artistic versatility thanks to the use of acoustic guitars and elements of funk and traditional heavy metal. A serious tour bus accident indirectly led to the band’s demise but a decade later a one-off contribution to a Chuck Billy benefit show led to the reformation of Death Angel. Excellent new albums such as ‘The Art of Dying’ (2004) and ‘Killing Season’ (2008) proved the old fire had been rekindled and they continue to put out excellent albums, with their most recent long player ’Humanicide’ ( 2019) resulting in a Grammy nomination.
