Newbury Comics recently caught up with DEATH ANGEL to discuss the band’s new album, The Dream Calls For Blood. An excerpt from the story is available below:

Mark Osegueda (vocals): “”We finally did some shows with the big four guys, some festivals with SLAYER in Europe. We toured three legs with the ANTHRAX / TESTAMENT / DEATH ANGEL tour, throughout North America, plus we did the METALLICA Fillmore shows. We did some festivals with MEGADETH, so we touched on all the big four. We’re getting the word out that we are a relevant force in this type of music, a force to be reckoned with, because we’ve still got this young anger in us. Our stage show still completely delivers the goods, back to back with the younger thrash bands or the older thrash bands. We’re very confident in our live performance and we hold our own. And we think this next record is going to solidify that we also do that in the studio.”

Rob Cavestany (guitars): “The tour went at least twice as long as we expected it was going to go. So that in itself was a trip. We figured the album would come out, we’d tour a year, year-and-a-half or so, and our plan from the start was to do two albums-a back-to-back attack. But we just kept getting killer offers to do shows. Our livelihood is when you’re on the road, and we want to bring our music to as many people as possible. And then it went so long, it crossed over to the 25th anniversary of The Ultra-Violence. So then we extended the touring by playing The Ultra-Violence in its entirety as a special set. And I think doing that also had an effect on the writing of this album.”
