Hope these help.

Has anyone heard Death Angel's <I> The Art of Dying</i>? Is it worth 8 bucks USD in your opinion?

Ultra Violence came out when they were 11 or 12, I think...lmao...

Grate success story, though...even if that spinoff band "The Organization" was total crap...

Death Angel was formed in San Francisco, CA, in 1982 by Rob Cavestany (lead guitar), brothers Gus Pepa (rhythm guitar) and Dennis Pepa (bass, vocals), and Andy Galeon (drums). Unique in that all of the members were cousins and barely in their teens, the band grew up watching Metallica, Megadeth, Testament, Exodus and others rise to fame as part of the burgeoning Bay Area thrash movement. In 1984, Mark Osegueda joined the band as vocalist, although Dennis does sing (along with Rob) on the song "Thrashers", Death Angel's first song, written before Mark joined.

Death Angel played club gigs in and around the San Francisco Bay Area for the better part of 2 years, writing songs and refining their stage show. In 1986, the band recorded their legendary Kill As One demo with longtime friend Kirk Hammett (of Metallica) as producer. Due to the underground tape trading wave of the early 1980s the demo was widely distributed and received massive interest. Of note was the incredibly young age of virtuoso drummer Andy Galeon, who was only 14 years old at the time of the recording.


The success of the Kill As One demo led to a record deal with Enigma Records, who released the critically acclaimed album, The Ultra-Violence, in 1987. Hailed as one of the greatest thrash albums of all time, the band recorded the album while they were all under 20 years old. The Ultra-Violence quickly sold 40,000 copies in only four months, successfully launching Death Angel to the top of the thrash world.

In 1988, Death Angel released Frolic Through The Park, a spotty follow up to The Ultra-Violence, which suffered slightly from rushed production and songwriting. The album spawned the single "Bored", a song that received regular airplay on MTV's Headbanger's Ball. The band toured worldwide for the first time and found notable success in Japan, selling out 2 full Japanese tours.
