Deluxe
CD/DVD edition including DVD and bonus track. 2016 release, the eighth
album from the Bay Area thrash metal band. Three decades into their
celebrated career, Death Angel remain as hungry as ever. As a result,
uncompromising urgency and unpredictability define 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 10 new anthems. The Evil Divide stands out as
the culmination of 30+ years of music for Death Angel. It kicked off
with legendary debut, The Ultra-Violence, in 1987. The classic Frolic
Through The Park began to cement their legacy and even earned the
distinction of landing on Loudwire's list of the "Top Ten Thrash Albums
NOT Released by The Big 4." The group broke up following 1990's Act III
only to reunite in 2004 on Art of Dying for the next generation. A
powerful trifecta followed. In 2010, Relentless Retribution boasted a
cameo from virtuosos Rodrigo y Gabriela, while 2013's The Dream Calls
For Blood bowed at #72 on the Billboard Top 200, selling 5,400 copies
first-week and earning the group's first-ever entry onto that respective
chart. Beyond continued public praise from the likes of James Hetfield
of Metallica and Robb Flynn of Machine Head, the band's music has popped
up everywhere from Carl's Jr. commercials to Leatherface: The Texas
Chainsaw Massacre III. Their fire burns brighter than ever in 2016.
