The Dream Calls for Blood (Nuclear Blast Records)

These old school Cali thrashers (which seems odd to say now considering that the band is infamous for recording its debut, The Ultra-Violence, when all members were under age 20) are coming up on ten years since they reformed in 2004. That reformation came after a 10-year-plus hiatus following 1990’s Act III, but on new track, “The Dream Calls for Blood,” Death Angel isn’t rehashing that album’s forward-looking tendencies nor the shredding ecstasy of Ultra-Violence. Instead, this is straight-up bloody meat thrown to ravenous thrash fans — prototypical thrash that is equal parts Slayer and Megadeth and designed to deliver exactly what you seek.
