Death Angel stands as a formidable name in the thrash metal genre, hailing from Daly City, California. Their journey began in the early 1980s, and they quickly became associated with the Bay Area thrash movement, a scene that also birthed giants like Metallica and Slayer. The band's early work, particularly the albums produced during "The Enigma Years (1987-1990)," such as their influential debut "The Ultra-Violence," helped to cement their reputation as thrash metal innovators, offering a blend of ferocious speed, complex arrangements, and socio-political lyrical themes.

Following a hiatus in the early '90s due to a serious bus accident, Death Angel reformed in 2001 and have since been tirelessly contributing to their legacy with a string of well-received albums. Their recent works, including "Humanicide," "The Evil Divide," and "The Dream Calls for Blood," showcase a band that has matured without losing the raw energy and aggression that characterized their early days. True to their thrash roots while exploring lyrical and musical depths, Death Angel continues to gather a devoted fan base with their relentless touring schedule and their commitment to pushing the boundaries of the genre. Live albums like "Fall from Grace (Live)" and "A Trashumentary & the Bay Calls for Blood (Live in San Francisco)" capture the explosive energy of their performances, proving that Death Angel remains a vital force in the metal world.
