Death Angel were another band from the Bay Area and were American Filipino. What stood these out from the crowd was their incredible live intensity for a band so young. The drummer was unbelievably only 14 when they recorded this debut and the rest of the band were under 20! The albums production is meaty and raw and the band stuck to a heavy thrash/speed sound that showed metal influences instead of punk influences. Another debut that is hailed as a classic and the title track is a brilliant instrumental displaying all the characteristics of what Thrash Metal was about:
