Death Angel The Evil Divide

2016, Three decades into their celebrated career, Death Angel remain as hungry as ever. As a result, uncompromising urgency and unpredictability define the Bay Area thrash quintet's eighth full-length album, THE EVIL DIVIDE. The group - Mark Osegueda (vocals), Rob Cavestany (lead guitar), Ted Aguilar (guitar), Will Carroll (drums) and Damien Sisson (bass) - satiate the appetite for buzzsaw speed riffs, double bass mayhem, and scorching vocals over the course of ten new anthems. In order to siphon that energy, the group re-teamed with producer Jason Suecof (Trivium, Deicide) for the third album in a row. Opener ,,The Moth" whips from a galloping guitar death march into a battle-cry. Boasting a lyrical contribution from Rob, it namechecks the album title in the chorus. ,,Cause For Alarm" volleys between a crossfire of six-string prowess, while ,,Father Of Lies" closes on a haunting acoustic outro, illuminating the music's expanse and declaring another creative victory for the group.
