Certain music is simply better when enjoyed live. This is definitely the case with thrash metal music, because the hard-hitting nature of the music cannot be fully experienced on a recording. The famed thrash metal band Death Angel seems to know this fact, evidenced by their tendency to tour frequently. They have many cities booked in the coming months, including a stop at Slims in their native Northern California.
In the 1980s, the thrash metal scene was gaining traction in the Bay Area. One of the bands that helped the scene grow immensely was Death Angel, which formed in the early part of the decade. The band members were young when they first began releasing albums, and their maturity in the subsequent years only brought more fans to their popular concert dates.
The members of the original lineup for Death Angel didn't need an event to bring them together, because they were family members. The lineup has shifted over the years, but the close-knit nature of the band has remained. Death Angel has been through a long hiatus, but they eventually came back together to release new music and book tour dates.
The live shows of Death Angel are not for the faint of heart. Instead, Death Angel's shows are for fans who like their music loud and hard. Because of this, their concerts are a perfect place for fans of this type of music to escape from the mundane realities of life. Gather your like-minded friends and head out to a show near you.
