DEATH ANGEL Releases New Single 'Cult Of The Used'
Архив новостей | Русская версия
San Francisco Bay Area thrash metal veterans DEATH ANGEL have released a new single, "Cult Of The Used". The band's second new song in six years is intense pit fuel that that ignites into a blaze with DEATH ANGEL's unmistakable chugging rhythm and breakneck riffs. The track is accompanied by an astounding animated video created by Tamara Llenas of Aimed And Framed.
DEATH ANGEL guitarist Rob Cavestany says: "Our new song 'Cult Of The Used' is a depiction of society under hypnosis, being strategically manipulated and taken advantage of. It urges you to leave the so called reality behind…
"Fendie Daywalker did a stellar job illustrating the Cult Leader — beckoning his blinded followers who remain in trance by his strangely charismatic facade, enchanted by the vibrant colors, mesmerized by his stare.
"We wanted to release this song to coincide with our 'Act III' U.S. tour which kicks off on November 26th in Denver and concludes with two nights at The Fillmore in San Francisco on December 18th and 19th for our 10th annual 'Another Death Angel Xmas Show(s)'. We haven't headlined in the states since 2019 so we wanted to make it extra extra! Of course we're excited to include 'Cult Of The Used' in our setlist when we hit the road this month."
Earlier in the month, DEATH ANGEL released the official music video for their first new music in six years, a song called "Wrath (Bring Fire)" . The clip, which can be seen here, was filmed by Edgar Salazar during the "Summer Of Wrath Tour 2025" in Europe.
As previously reported, DEATH ANGEL will celebrate the 35th anniversary of its "Act III" album by performing it in its entirety on a fall 2025 U.S. tour. The trek, which will feature support from VIO-LENCE (replacing originally announced support act TOXIC HOLOCAUST),LIONS AT THE GATE and MISFIRE, will kick off on November 26 at the Oriental Theater in Denver, Colorado and wrap with two Christmas shows on December 18-19 at The Fillmore in San Francisco, California.
In March 2024, DEATH ANGEL guitarist Ted Aguilar told El Planeta Del Rock that there were "a bunch of songs, a lot of skeletons" for the band's next album. "We spent the first three months of this year writing. We didn't do any activity — just writing… There's a bunch of skeletons, as we call it. There's a lot of ideas that we're waiting for [singer] Mark to put some vocals on."
Osegueda is the featured singer on SLAYER guitarist Kerry King's debut solo album, "From Hell I Rise", which arrived in May 2024 via Reigning Phoenix Music.
