DEATH ANGEL To Celebrate 35th Anniversary Of ‘Act III’ Album On Fall 2025 North American Tour

SAN FRANCISCO’s finest speed-demons DEATH ANGEL are dusting off their calculators to celebrate 35 years of “Act III” – that’s right, math class just got shredded. They’re hauling this 1990 gem on a full U.S. tour with TOXIC HOLOCAUST (Joel Grind’s one-man riff factory turned full chaos crew), LIONS AT THE GATE (ex-ILL NIÑO dudes serving fresh alt-metal cocktails), and baby-thrashers MISFIRE. The party starts Thanksgiving weekend in Denver and ends with two SF headbanger Christmas bashes at The Fillmore. Pro tip: these dudes were teenagers when they recorded “Act III” – imagine your high school band opening for Ozzy.

Snag tix now with presale code “ENDLESS” (or cry later when it’s sold out).

In a 2020 interview with Now Hear This, Inc., DEATH ANGEL’s Mark Osegueda and Rob Cavestany spilled tea about recording “Act III”. Fun fact: Geffen Records made these teens write THIRTY songs for the album – imagine your math teacher demanding 30 homework assignments. The album that almost killed them literally became legendary when their tour bus crashed later (don’t worry, drummer Andy Galeon survived and rebuilt his skull like Wolverine).

Rob recalled: “We’ve pretty much sampled every possibility of what you can do right and what you can do wrong, especially what you can do wrong, but, luckily, we had a few moments of what you can do right, hence why we are still here and nominated for a GRAMMY…”

Mark added: “MAX NORMAN (Ozzy’s producer!) taught us thrash metal algebra – turns out ’4 minutes of face-melting’ beats ’10 minutes of showing off your new guitar pedal’.”

PSA: DEATH ANGEL scored a GRAMMY nod for 2019’s “Humanicide” and just dropped new track “Wrath (Bring Fire)” – their first in 6 years. Proof that old thrash dogs can learn new incendiary tricks.
