Death Angel in Pratteln

Death Angel is an American thrash metal band formed in Daly City, California, in 1982. Part of the San Francisco Bay Area thrash scene, the group is known for albums including The Ultra-Violence, Frolic Through the Park and Act III, as well as songs such as “Bored” and “Seemingly Endless Time.” A 1990 tour was cut short by a bus crash that seriously injured drummer Andy Galeon, and the band subsequently broke up. The musicians reunited in 2001 for the Thrash of the Titans benefit at Maritime Hall in San Francisco, then returned to sustained recording and touring. In later years, they joined Testament and Exodus for the Bay Strikes Back tour, bringing three generations of Bay Area thrash history onto the same stages.
