The countdown is on for the release of legendary California thrash metal band DEATH ANGLE'S long-awaited ninth full-length album, HUMANICIDE, due May 31st via NUCLEAR BLAST RECORDS. Today, guitarists Rob Cavestany and Ted Aguilar have unleashed a playthrough video for their latest single "The Pack" With their forthcoming album Humanicide, Death Angel has maintained their throne in the universe of thrash while still managing to remain progressive in their style. They apply a wide variety of different elements to their music, always pushing to add newness to their sound. This time around they've included everything from acoustics bits, to guest musicians, to even (for the first time) the notes of piano. All tern songs flow seamlessly yet each leaves its own distinct impression. The first single and the title track "Humanicide" triumphantly represents the entirety of the album, immediately energising the listener. Mark Osegueda remarks: "I wanted to write something that metal fans could really grasp onto. Something dark and intense, that still makes sense. Right now I think it's so apparent that the Earth is in a sickened state."

This collection of songs represents the band in its current state - united, vital, intense and (still) hungry like the wolf! I wanted this record to be quite diverse stylistically while obviously keeping with the parameters of metal. DA has been known to push the envelope and we absolutely did this time. So many emotions are expressed through our music, I'm very much looking forward to adding these songs into our live set list. As I savor this rare feeling of satisfaction, we proudly unleash this beast upon thee!” - Rob Cavestany.
