Oh great, because what the world really needed was another tour announcement from a band that’s been around longer than some of their fans have been alive 🙄. San Francisco Bay Area thrash metal veterans DEATH ANGEL are returning to Europe this December for an explosive headlining tour, because apparently, they haven’t played every single city in Europe at least 12 times already. The “Act III” tour will see the band performing their 1990 album in its entirety, because who doesn’t love a good nostalgia trip? 🎉
The tour will kick off on December 1st in Brno, Czech Republic, and will make its way through 12 cities in Germany, Switzerland, Denmark, and the Netherlands, with a special appearance at the Eindhoven Metal Meeting. Because, you know, one can never have too many metal festivals in their life 🤘. Support on the trek will come from fellow San Francisco Bay Area thrash metal veterans VIO-LENCE, because why not? It’s not like they have anything better to do 🤷♂️.
The “Act III” Album: A Blast from the Past
The “Act III” album was released in 1990 and was a major label debut for DEATH ANGEL. It featured a more dynamic and melodic dimension while retaining their thrash intensity, because who doesn’t love a good ol’ fashioned thrash metal album? 🤟. The album included songs like “Seemingly Endless Time” and “A Room With A View”, which got some airplay on MTV, back when MTV actually played music 📺. The album cemented their status as one of thrash metal’s most musically adventurous acts, because they were one of the first bands to actually try to make thrash metal sound somewhat melodic 🎶.
But hey, who needs new music when you can just play the same old album over and over again? 🙄. I mean, it’s not like DEATH ANGEL has released any good music in the past few decades or anything 🙅♂️. Oh wait, they have 🤔. Their 2019 album “Humanicide” was actually pretty decent, and even earned them a Grammy nomination for “Best Metal Performance”, because the Grammys are always relevant and not at all out of touch with the metal scene 🙄.
The Current Lineup: Still Going Strong
The current lineup of DEATH ANGEL has remained intact for nearly two decades, which is impressive, considering how often band members come and go 🔄. The lineup includes Mark Osegueda on vocals, Rob Cavestany on guitar, Ted Aguilar on guitar, Damien Sisson on bass, and Will Carroll on drums. They’ve been touring extensively across the globe, appearing at major festivals and headlining club and theater dates, because they’re one of the most electrifying live acts in thrash metal 🤩.
Tickets for the tour go on sale on Wednesday, July 15th at 2 p.m. CEST, because you’ll definitely want to get them while they’re hot 📆. I mean, who wouldn’t want to see DEATH ANGEL play the same old songs they’ve been playing for decades? 🤷♂️. It’s not like they have a new album to promote or anything 🙅♂️. Oh wait, they don’t 🤔.
In conclusion, if you’re a fan of DEATH ANGEL and haven’t seen them live in the past few years, then you might want to check out this tour 🤘. But if you’re like me and have seen them a million times already, then you might want to pass 🙅♂️. Either way, it’s going to be a wild ride, full of sweat, sweat, and more sweat 💦. So, grab your earplugs and your favorite thrash metal t-shirt, and get ready to rock 🤟! 🎸
