The Evil Divide

The Evil Divide is the eighth album, on which Death Angel gathered the modern thrash established on the previous record into an even tighter form. It was made with the stable lineup of Mark Osegueda, Rob Cavestany, Ted Aguilar, Damien Sisson and Will Carroll. Jason Suecof produced again. On fast songs, sharp riffs switch one after another, and on slightly slower passages, the expression of melody and vocals stands out. On "The Moth" and "Father of Lies," furious speed and heavy riffs intersect. Aggressive yet holding both light and shadow within the songs is the band's character. Rather than merely racing, hooks, development and the conversation of the playing are carefully built up. Balancing intelligence with momentum, the album vividly shows that Death Angel in its mature period still keeps sharp fangs.
