About Death Angel

Death Angel is a thrash metal band from the Bay Area in California, known for their energetic live performances and aggressive sound. Rob Cavestany and Andy Galeon formed the band in 1982, and over the years, they’ve released several critically acclaimed albums and gained a dedicated fan following.

Death Angel is a leading band in Bay Area thrash metal and part of the “big eight” of thrash metal along with Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, Anthrax, Testament, Exodus, and Overkill. They signed with Geffen Records in 1989 and released Act III in 1990, but a bus accident injured drummer Andy Galeon and led to the band’s breakup in 1991. They reformed in 2001 and have since released six more albums, including Humanicide (2019) which earned them their first-ever Grammy nomination. Currently, they are working on their tenth album.

Over the years, Death Angel has gone through several lineup changes, but their dedication to their craft and their fans has remained steadfast. The band continues to tour and record new music, showcasing their evolution as musicians and their enduring influence on the thrash metal genre.
