Death Angel, a veteran of thrash metal, just released a music video for their hit, “Wrath (Bring Fire)“, as reported by theprp. The video in that clip was shot during the band’s recent summer tour. The group will next embark on an autumn U.S. tour in honor of their 1990 album “Act III.” The original plan was to use Toxic Holocaust as direct support for that tour, but due to a recent injury in that camp, Vio-lence will now be featured on the bill instead. Misfire and Lions At The Gate will open.

Among the youngest bands ever to storm the metal genre, Death Angel has come to be known as one of the most influential bands to emerge from the thriving Bay Area Thrash Metal Scene in the early 1980s, an era when one could catch Cliff Burton (Metallica) at the front of the stage at Ruthie’s Inn banging his head to Death Angel‘s inventive style, and speedy, complex arrangements.
In 1986, a Death Angel demo produced by Kirk Hammett (Metallica) titled “Kill As One” sparked the interest of Enigma Records. Then, in 1987, Death Angel‘s debut, “The Ultra Violence,” was released. Drummer Andy Galeon was just 14 years old at the time. The album was a full-frontal assault on the ears, buzzing with the group’s youthful energy, and “The Ultra Violence” sold 40,000 copies in just four months. Another innovative recording, “Frolic Through the Park,” followed, marking Death Angel‘s evolution both lyrically and musically. “Bored,” another track from the band’s second release, highlighted the cutting-edge band’s inventive dynamics, and won a spot on MTV’s “Headbanger’s Ball.”
