Death Angel Guitarist Talks About New Album
Veteran San Francisco Bay Area metallers DEATH ANGEL will release their new album, "Killing Season", on February 26, 2008 in the U.S. and February 29 internationally via Nuclear Blast Records.
Commented guitarist Rob Cavestany: "'Killing Season', our latest album, is a true story that has happened before, time and time again, as it is happening at this moment. It's a tale told of tyranny, rebellion and justice. Each song is a reflection of this oppressive situation through the eyes of those affected by it. Driven by greed, the actions of those 'in control' inflict irreversible consequences upon innocent victims of the power hungry swine! The eventual result is frustration, despair, anger and finally revolution. This record speaks of truth and freedom. It also tells of the pain and suffering caused by this brutal reality we're forced to live in. Fueled by angst combined with hope, 'Killing Season' is about to begin..."
DEATH ANGEL recorded "Killing Season" in Los Angeles with producer Nick Raskulinecz, who has previously worked with FOO FIGHTERS, RUSH, VELVET REVOLVER, SHADOWS FALL and STONE SOUR, among other acts.
DEATH ANGEL's latest CD, "The Art of Dying", was released in May 2004 through Nuclear Blast Records. The group's first studio album since 1990's "Act III" was recorded at SF Soundworks studios in San Francisco, California with producer Brian Joseph Dobbs (VOIVOD, MANMADEGOD).

Death Angel Mixing New Album
DEATH ANGEL guitarist Rob Cavestany has issued the following update:
"As I come out of the haze and begin to become unglazed from spawning our most recent effort in this life of music… Killing Season is almost here!
We finished recording last week and after a manic b’day weekend which took me to Vegas to see RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE / MUSE then back to LA to catch QOTSA then back to Oakland for Halloween. I was able to get my bearings and throw down an update so here it is!
I am pleased to announce we have decided that Nick (Raskulinecz, our producer) will mix the album. The reference 'rough' mixes we have been listening to are blowing our minds and we don’t think anyone could do a better job taking the mix to the next level and beyond! Wait till you hear this disc, my friends, you will hear us like you never have before! This shit is SLAMMIN!!!!!!!
Mixing starts later today (it’s 3am right now, children) so I better hit the sack so I can get a couple hours of shuteye and get them ears fresh to hear me some final mixes… hell yeah!
Death Angel Reveal New Album Title
As previously reported, DEATH ANGEL are currently in the studio working on the follow-up to their comeback album, The Art Of Dying. According to the band, the new record will be called Killing Season. They are due to reveal song titles and other details soon.
In a recent interview with LivingForMetal.com, guitarist Rob Cavestany offered the following:
"This album's gonna be brutal man, it's heavy but it's inspiration. We’re not just doing this album so we can go party now and get out on tour you know. This is about working for you know my kid and our families and their futures."
Death Angel Guitarist Speaks On New Album
LivingForMetal.com recently caught up with DEATH ANGEL frontman Rob Cavestany to discuss the band's career, their forthcoming studio album and Cavestany's new solo album, Lines On The Road. The following is an excerpt from the story:
DZ: I wanted to change gears here and touch on your new acoustic album. I had a chance to check out some songs on your MySpace site and I was interested in finding out where you got the inspiration for these songs, touring? Personal life? Family?
Rob: "Well not so much from the life on tour as just life. You know what you are just going through all the trials and tribulations that you have to go through as an individual and I just think that in this music especially lyrically it’s kind of something that everybody can relate too. It’s more to the human side of things."
DZ: And was this a reunion of sorts with Gus (Pepa / original Death Angel guitarist) or has he been in the picture after all this time?
Rob: "Well, sort of a reunion on record on album, yeah. But you know, Gus has been in the picture; we’ve been jamming behind the scenes all along ever since THE ORGANIZATION broke up and even THE SWARM. Gus would go, disappear, and do his own thing and all of a sudden, I don’t hear from Gus for a month and then one day 'Hello?' 'Yeah?' 'Gus? O, hey dude! What’s up?' And you know, that day he's at my house with his acoustic. We didn’t waste any time man, we just started jamming."
DZ: Having Ted (Aguilar) jamming with you after the reunion, I wanted to ask how has that transition been for you after Gus and you jamming all those years.
Rob: "Oh man awesome dude, awesome. Ted just slipped right in. And it’s funny man cuz Ted is more Death Angel than Gus is now, you know. Gus and his life just moved on to the point of where he transcended beyond the world of metal, he was departed from it for so long, and when we reformed I did talk to Gus. I tried to get him in to do the whole thing you know the five of us but he just very respectfully said, 'I’m sorry dude I just don’t feel comfortable.'"
DZ: Is this more reflective on the acoustic album and is this spilling over onto the new Death Angel songs?
Rob: "It's more in the sound not as much lyrically in a way that’s the fuel or the fire to it, but not in a family Disney sorta way. This album's gonna be brutal man, it's heavy but it's inspiration. We’re not just doing this album so we can go party now and get out on tour you know. This is about working for you know my kid and our families and their futures."

"I am thrilled to announce that Death Angel will enter the studio to begin tracking our new album on September 16th with producer Nick Raskulinecz (Foo Fighters, Shadows Fall) in Los Angeles. Nick came up and did pre-production with us at our studio in Oakland and we had a blast. The vibe is certainly on and we are beyond excited to start tracking with him! Recording should be complete by the end of October and mixed by November. This will undoubtedly be our best sounding record ever! This album is gonna be insane. The songs are so fuckin heavy and wicked! Musically brutal. Brutally musical. This shit will wake you up! Here we go into the beautiful twilight zone of recording the album… See you on the other side!"

Death Angel Discuss Eye Tearing Incident
Kimberly Chun of the San Francisco Bay Guardian reports that San Francisco vocalist Mark Osegueda of DEATH ANGEL was in the studio June 24 with his other, punk rock project, the ALL TIME HIGHS, laying down scratch vocals at Fantasy Recording Studios in Berkeley when he got a hit by a bit more than a scratch.
"Holding a scream for a long time, you get a head rush because of the lack of oxygen. You almost feel really woozy, but usually my adrenalin is going so much onstage that I'm OK," Osegueda, 38, said.
"Instead I was standing in a little isolation booth in the studio, I had a head rush, and I passed out and fell forward, and a mic stand caught my eye."
The micless pole tore into Osegueda's eyeball. "I was really, really fortunate that it didn't hit the center of the eye — it hit the white area of the eye and took out a big chunk of it," he says. "So I'm dealing with pain and discomfort instead of vision problems, which is nice because, had it hit the center of the eye, we'd be having a different kind of conversation now!"
When he came to, Osegueda grabbed his eye out of panic, knowing he had done something "pretty severe and pretty wrong." Delirious and separated from his bandmates, who were continuing to play through the song elsewhere in the studio, Osegueda confesses that he was tempted to just take a nice little nap right where he fell, before he stopped himself, thinking he might have suffered a concussion.

Thrash Metal Book To Surface In September
Zonda Books has posted this press release:
Garry Sharpe-Young's latest book, "Thrash Metal", is being readied for publication this September. In addition, Zonda Books publishes Garry's "Death Metal", "Black Metal" and "Power Metal" all before the end of the year. These MusicMight titles replace the 2001 editions, which have consistently ranked number 1 on their Amazon.com searches for five years and more.
Thrash Metal. At first mocked by the Rock traditionalists Thrash would swamp the hard n' heavy world propelling one of its own - METALLICA, to the very pinnacle of Rock's elite.
In the early 80s Thrash breathed new life into the Rock scene providing older acts with a much needed kick. This new force opened the floodgates to armies of teens armed with flying Vs, bullet belts and a sense of purpose that would fuel genres such as Thrashcore, Crossover and technical Speed Metal. Without Thrash there would be no Death Metal, no Black Metal. That explosion of aggression has seen subsequent afterblasts, most recently Europe and South America has seen a genuine renaissance of Thrash Metal.
Without doubt, Thrash Metal still continues to make its mark in the biggest possible way. The "big four" - METALLICA, MEGADETH, ANTHRAX and SLAYER are all documented here in the greatest possible detail with full, up to the minute histories, exclusive photographs and global discographies, which include demos, albums, singles, chart positions, track listings and catalogue numbers. Over 400,000 words leave no stone left unturned in pursuit of knowledge of ex-members, rare recordings and career milestones. The author has interviewed all these major acts. Indeed, he interviewed METALLICA's late Cliff Burton just days before his passing. The early days of MEGADETH are straight from the mouth of Dave Mustaine.
Also covered are the legion of groundbreaking Bay Area acts such as METAL CHURCH, TESTAMENT, EXODUS, DEATH ANGEL and HIRAX. The European thrash explosion of KREATOR, RAGE, DESTRUCTION, SODOM, GRAVE DIGGER and HELLOWEEN is also covered in frightening detail. The Pagan Thrash of SABBAT, the avant garde eccentricity of CELTIC FROST and the Funk Thrash of MORDRED - it's all here. The second wave of thrash with major artists such as SEPULTURA, PANTERA and MACHINE HEAD takes the genre right up to the new breed of Thrashers, now a truly world-wide phenomenon. All examined in depth.
Having achieved its quarter of a century, Thrash Metal is not only alive, it is thriving. If you thought this rawest form of Heavy Metal was consigned to the past this book will deliver a rude awakening! Read the book, buy the records and bang that head!!
The scope of 'Thrash Metal' includes artists such as A.N.I.M.A.L., ABANDONED, ABATTOIR, ACCUSSER, ACID, ACID DRINKERS, ACID REIGN, ACROPHET, AFTERMATH, AGENT STEEL, AGONY, AGRESSOR, AIRDASH, AMEBIX, ANESTHESY, ANGEL WITCH, ANGKOR WAT, ANNIHILATOR, ANTHRAX, ANVIL, ANVIL CHORUS, APOKALYPTIC RAIDS, ARBITRATER, ARCH ENEMY, ARMORED SAINT, ARMOURED ANGEL, ARTILLERY, ASSASSIN, AT WAR, ATHEIST, ATOMIZER, ATOMKRAFT, ATROPHY, AZOTIC REIGN...
And that's just some of the "A"'s!
