Veteran San Francisco Bay Area metallers DEATH ANGEL will release their new album, "Killing Season", on February 26, 2008 in the U.S. and February 29 internationally via Nuclear Blast Records.

DEATH ANGEL guitarist Rob Cavestany previously stated about the upcoming CD, "Wait 'till you hear this disc, my friends, you will hear us like you never have before! This shit is SLAMMIN'!"

Check out photos from the "Killing Season" recording session in the "Pics" section of Rob's MySpace page (free registration required to view pictures).

DEATH ANGEL's latest CD, "The Art of Dying", was released in May 2004 through Nuclear Blast Records. The group's first studio album since 1990's "Act III" was recorded at SF Soundworks studios in San Francisco, California with producer Brian Joseph Dobbs (VOIVOD, MANMADEGOD).




Roll on February.

Erm, there is already a thread about the new album, I started it!

I've been wanting to buy the archives and artifacts boxset for over a year but didn't wanna pay like £15, just recently I realised that's actually not a bad price considering I'm getting 2 albums and a dvd. I'm gonna wait til I get paid though and buy it for myself as a Christmas present.

Our new recording is done! Killing Season was mixed at Studio 606 by Nick Raskulinecz and mastered at Bernie Grundman Mastering by none other than Brian "Big Bass" Gardner. It is slated for release on February 26 in the US and February 29 in the rest of the world. Leap year 2008!

Here is the track listing:

Lord of Hate
Sonic Beatdown
Dethroned
Carnival Justice
Buried Alive
Soulless
The Noose
When Worlds Collide
God vs God
Steal the Crown
Resurrection Machine

Nick began mixing on November 7, I joined him at 606 on the 19th and we finished the mixes 2 days later… just in time for Tanksgibin! The masters were sent over to BGM in Hollywood on December 4th and I arrived the next day for the session with Brian. By 6pm that evening I was on my way to the Roxy with a reference cd in hand… just in time for the listening party!

The party itself was a BLAST! "On the Rox" was loaded full of our friends, family and industry associates who enjoyed an open bar hosted by the US division of our label, Nuclear Blast America. Everyone chopped it up as drinks were consumed in mass quantities, all the while ROCKING to our new album for the first time… needless to say it was hella FUN! Totally elating to witness a bar room full of music fans partying to our latest offering of jams! Best of all, the entire band was there, working the crowd like we do and loving it! The night concluded in the usual scenario of laughter, hugs, puke and blackouts! Can't wait for the next one! Thanks to NB and all who attended!

Next day was a hung-over blur of meetings and business dealing that eventually found me back at the mastering lab meeting up with BG to make a few adjustments and print the final master. Then I raced to airport, barely making my flight home with a copy of the finished disc in hand… just in time to get back home with the latest slab of Bay Area Thrash Metal completed on December 6th which happens to be the birthday of my original inspiration to play guitar… the late great Randy Rhoads. How's that for a good sign?

Yeah, I know this blog is a week late but daddy's been busy, kids! Been bouncing back and forth from Nor Cal to So Cal takin care o bidness! Artwork should be done any day now (c'mon Hiro!) and of course Den will do the layout and turn it over to NB… then it's a wrap! Interviews have already started and we've heard some GREAT feedback from the press already (see below) so now Killing Season has truly begun… stay tuned for more news soon, my friends! It is ON!!!
