A good
way the start the new year off right is with the newly re-issued Death
Angel albums "Frolic Through The Park" and "Fall From Grace" on vinyl
and CD. On January 22nd, Metal Blade Records will be releasing these
out-of-print albums. The band's 1988 release "Frolic Through The Park" will
be available on CD and limited edition red vinyl double LP. It was a
breakthrough for the band as the song "Bored" was featured in the movie
"Leatherface: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre III" and was in heavy rotation
on MTV's "Headbanger's Ball." The album also contains a beefed-up cover of KISS's
"Cold Gin" and shows a band that has taken the next step in becoming a
worldwide success.
Unfortunately,
riding that wave of success crippled the band in 1990 when their tour
bus crashed in Arizona, critically injuring their drummer. What was to
be a short hiatus for the band, turned into ten years as Death Angel
went their separate ways. Prior to the accident, the band discovered
that one of their former record labels released the live album "Fall
From Grace" without their consent. This caused the album to become
unavailable shortly after Death Angel sued the label. Now, Metal Blade
Records will be releasing the album "properly" with all of the same
packaging as the original release. The music on this release is
high-energy and has Death Angel performing at their best. Do yourself a
favor in the new year and re-discover this band by searching out these
two new re-issues. To find out more about the reformed Death Angel,
