Media type: CD

“The Dream Calls for Blood”, the follow up to Bay Area thrash legends DEATH ANGEL’s crushing “Relentless Retribution” (2010), was recorded once again at Audio Hammer Studios utilizing the production services of Jason Suecof (THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER, GOD FORBID, TRIVIUM). It finds DEATH ANGEL at the height of their powers, summarily fired and inspired by the exhaustive three years touring mounted for the last record, a worldwide onslaught that found the band fully welcomed, as vocalist Mark Osegueda explains, into the pantheon of thrash mastery...

“We finally did some shows with the big four guys, some festivals with SLAYER in Europe. We toured three legs with the ANTHRAX/TESTAMENT/DEATH ANGEL tour, throughout North America, plus we did the METALLICA Fillmore shows. We did some festivals with MEGADETH, so we touched on all the big four. We’re getting the word out that we are a relevant force in this type of music, a force to be reckoned with, because we’ve still got this young anger in us (laughs). Our stage show still completely delivers the goods, back to back with the younger thrash bands or the older thrash bands. We’re very confident in our live performance and we hold our own. And we think this next record is going to solidify that we also do that in the studio.”

“The tour went at least twice as long as we expected it was going to go,” adds guitarist Rob Cavestany. “So that in itself was a trip. We figured the album would come out, we’d tour a year, year-and-a-half or so, and our plan from the start was to do two albums—a back-to-back attack. But we just kept getting killer offers to do shows. Our livelihood is when you’re on the road, and we want to bring our music to as many people as possible. And then it went so long, it crossed over to the 25th anniversary of “The Ultra-Violence”. So then we extended the touring by playing “The Ultra-Violence” in its entirety as a special set. And I think doing that also had an effect on the writing of this album.”

As for the result of all that intense heavy metal life experience, Rob figures DEATH ANGEL has made a record that is, “absolutely darker than the last album, it’s darker, and at the same time more brutal, heavier, more evil-sounding, if that’s a description of music. And I think somehow it is (laughs). And although the songs are shorter than on the last album, this record still seems to be more epic-sounding, if that makes sense...”

Parallel to sharing stages with all the greats of their genre, DEATH ANGEL fulfilled further career aims through the geographical extent to which they took their uniquely charmed and measurably melodic form of expert and experiential thrash.
