SOILWORK vocalist Bjorn “Speed” Strid commented: “We are stoked to tour with the most vicious thrashers from the west, famous for their gin drinking and intense live shows. DEATH ANGEL is a classic band that we’ve wanted to tour with for a long time. A perfect fit for the bill and surely an awesome touring companion. The summer of mosh is upon us. Don’t miss out!” DEATH ANGEL frontman Mark Osegueda added: “I can’t begin to tell you how excited we are about the upcoming tour! I first heard SOILWORK on a Nuclear Blast promo compilation and they stood out from the first listen. The riffs, the drumming, and Bjorn’s vocal attack! Then we were fortunate enough to play with them at With Full Force Festival a few years back and they killed it live! As fate would have it, I was asked to participate in a Nuclear Blast 20 Year Anniversary compilation album called Out of the Dark, which Peter Wichers wrote the music for. I wrote the lyrics and melody for a song on that compilation called ‘My Name is Fate’! Peter actually was also the producer, so I was fortunate enough to get to work with him in the studio! What a brilliant guy and and a great musician and now that he is back in the fold SOILWORK is back on top of their game. I think the musical styles and live performances of both bands will make every show on this tour a show not to be missed by any true fan of HEAVY music! So don’t just hear about the aftermath, experience it for yourself!” SOILWORK, DEATH ANGEL, AUGURY, MUTINY WITHIN, SWASHBUCKLE 07/14/10 Jaxx – W.

From pulling into the city to getting backstage and catching up with old friends from other bands, and making new ones. Also getting out in the crowd, and reconnecting with fans new and old, bonding over the power and love for music! To most of all hitting the stage in the ultimate release of energy and feeding off the crowd’s energy! And this year the excitement level for us will be at an all time high because we will be breaking out of the studio amidst recording the NEW DEATH ANGEL RECORD and getting to do what we as a band have always loved doing most – Playing live! So can’t wait to see all you crazy f-ckers out there. Help us blow off some steam, and celebrate the love, and power of this music we play!

Ted and Will have arrived so naturally the vibe level kicked up a notch… got the mics up on the kit and ready to fire away! ~Rob 03/03/10: Death Angel Studio Report, Part I: Good Morning! After months of writing and pre-production in our Oakland rehearsal studio, I’m suddenly a temporary resident of Sanford, Florida! I have travelled across the country to begin the process of recording our new album at Audio Hammer Studios and tonight we kicked in the action. Monday was all about getting acquainted, listening to music, getting a vibe and discussing the game plan. Tonight we worked on tempos, arrangements, riffs and guitar harmonies… getting right down to the core of the songs. I laid down scratch guitar tracks for the first 4 songs and damn how they have blossomed from the original ideas! I’m really liking where we are going so far… just the scratch tracks sound sick! Jason and I seem to be off to a good start. The vibe is on and we are both night owls so we’re on the same wavelength… which is important if magic is to be weaved! It’s rather late (early?) so I better hit the sack as I expect an intense long session tomorrow (today). Ted and Will arrive late tonight and I plan to have all the scratch guitar tracks recorded by Thursday evening when we begin tracking drums. Looking forward to a productive and enjoyable time making this record out here. Check in with ya again sometime soon… From under windy Floridian skies, ~Rob 03/02/10: New Death Angel tour dates added!

This tour is basically the Clash of the Titans tour from 1990-1991 revisited featuring Slayer, Megadeth and Testament. Most folks do not know that Death Angel was supposed to be the 4th band on the bill 20 years ago on the original Clash of the Titans Tour but was unable to participate due to the tragic bus accident on the road during the Act III tour of 1990. A virtually unknown band called Alice In Chains was given the slot. Read about it in the February issue of Guitar World which includes a section on Death Angel's involvement with that tour as told by Rob Cavestany as well as an old school photo of Rob performing live on the Act III Tour in 1990. 02/04/10: Check this out from the Dunlop site: "We launched our new Heavy Core Strings the best way we knew how - by throwing a kickass party at the legendary Slim's in San Francisco with entertainment provided by the Bay Area's own thrash metal titans, Death Angel. Not only was the party a celebration, but also an embodiment of what Heavy Core is all about. It's for those who live tough and fearless - those who push limits to the extremes and reject conformity to the mundane. Live fierce, live heavy to the core!" 01/28/10: Great article on Noisecreep.com celebrating the 20th annivesary of Death Angel's classic masterpiece, Act III.
