I often say that it's fun to discover some new bands who are opening acts at shows. But, sometimes it's fun to have a mega show where everyone involved is known and could have been the headliner. Such was the case last Friday night at MTelus. Three of the biggest names in thrash metal took the stage. The first of which being Death Angel, though they could have easily headlined a show themselves. They released their first album, The Ultra-Violence, back in 1987 when everyone in the band were still teenagers. The drummer was only 14! After breaking up for a time in the 90s, Death Angel roared back to life in the 2000s. One could argue that their performance was the best one of the night. The venue was sold out, and despite a 6:45 start time, people were already packed inside before the first note was played. Their latest album, Humanicide, was released back in 2019, so I think it is safe to say that there should be some new music coming from them soon. The first photograph was taken at f/3.2, 1/80sec, ISO 3200 at 63mm. Here are several more photographs of their performance.

If you'd like to find out more about
Death Angel and their music, you can do so by following the link to their website. If you'd like to see the photographs that I took of
Exodus and
Testament, you can do so by following the respective links. It was to be a great night of music, and
Death Angel got us off to a headbanging start. Can't wait to hopefully photograph them again.
