Death Angel release “Absence Of Light” live video

Death Angel‘s new live album “The Bastard Tracks” saw a release today digitally and on CD/Blu-ray formats. The effort features a set the band recorded live at The Great American Music Hall in their hometown of San Francisco, CA on May 22nd, 2021. That set was later livestreamed. Vinyl fans will have to wait until April 29th to get their hands on that format, but for now a live video of “The Absence Of Light” from the set has been released to complement this effort.

“Absence Of Light” is a song that I have been championing since the album that it is on called “Relentless Retribution” was released in 2010. It’s an extremely dark song lyrically that sits on top of this thunderous and driving riff and beat. It is not a fast song by any means. But! It’s HEAVY!! DARK and HEAVY!!!

We finally took the time to re-familiarise ourselves with it and we were all surprised at how HEAVY it sounded when we all played it together in the room! I’m pretty confident it will rear it’s DARK and HEAVY head in some future live sets. In front of an actual audience!
