Death Angel - Relentless Retribution

Message par **Everflow** » 14 juin 2010, 20:49

Prochain album le 27 août chez Nuclear Blast.

Vocalist Mark Osegueda of San Francisco Bay Area metal veterans DEATH ANGEL was interviewed backstage at this year's Sweden Rock Festival, which was held June 9-12, 2010 in Sölvesborg in southern Sweden. During the chat, which can be viewed below, Osegueda reveals that Nuclear Blast Records has set an August 27 European release date for the band's new album.

DEATH ANGEL's new CD was recorded at Audiohammer Studios in Sanford, Florida with producer Jason Suecof (TRIVIUM, AUGUST BURNS RED, THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER, ALL THAT REMAINS, WHITECHAPEL, DEVILDRIVER).

Osegueda previously stated about the band's decision to work with Suecof, "The new material is the most aggressive and technical music we have written in years. So we needed a producer that was capable of unleashing the tonnes that match and complement the overall vibe of the songs. With Jason's experience in producing some of the most brutal contemporary metal artists and albums of today, I know we made the right choice! I think the collaboration between the two of us will prove to be venomous and infectious!"

Je garde pas un super souvenir du précédent, mais cette année niveau thrash on a eu que du bon pour le moment, donc il n'y a pas de raisons que ce prochain Death Angel soit mauvais...

c'est vrai que le dernier avait des relents punk et rock par moments. Leur moins bon album ce "Killing seasons".Pas mauvais, mais il se digère très vite et je n'y suis pas trop revenu ensuite.
Et puis avec tous ces changements dans le groupe récemment...bref, je suis assez inquiet je dois dire.

Je l'aime bien ce disque! Je le préfère même à celui de 2004.
Et puis il reste quand même les piliers du groupe, Cavestany et Osegueda, ça devrait le faire!
Mais j'y pense, en général avec Death Angel, ça le fait un album sur 2, mes préférés étant The Ultra Violence, Act III et donc Killing Seasons.

mes préférés sont Art of dying et Frolic through the park ....comme quoi les goûts et les couleurs!

Je me suis vite tanné de The Art of the Dying. Je n'ai pas écouté le dernier, tout ce que j'ai entendu, c'était celles jouées en show (devant une quarantaine de personne et sans bassiste, sauf quand le roadie a pris la basse à la fin

). Mon préféré, c'est Act III.

Quant au nouveau line-up...le batteur a un CV très Thrash/US Power, ce qui est selon moi un bon présage.

Sur Killing season je me suis passé un nombre incalculable de fois Dethroned et soulless. God vs god est un putain de titre aussi.

Ouais Dethroned elle déchire, un de leur meilleur titre!

Il s'appellera "Relentless Retriubtion" et sortira le 3 septembre:

San Francisco Bay Area metal veterans DEATH ANGEL have set "Relentless Retribution" as the title of their new album, due on September 3 in Europe and September 14 in the U.S. via Nuclear Blast Records. The CD was recorded at Audiohammer Studios in Sanford, Florida with producer Jason Suecof (TRIVIUM, AUGUST BURNS RED, THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER, ALL THAT REMAINS, WHITECHAPEL, DEVILDRIVER). The cover artwork was created by Brent Elliot White (JOB FOR A COWBOY, CARNIFEX, WHITECHAPEL) and can be viewed below.

Commented DEATH ANGEL vocalist Mark Osegueda: "I haven't been as excited about the cover artwork on any other DEATH ANGEL album as I am for this one! It fits the whole theme of the album! Angry and aggressive! I think what excites me most is that Brent did the artwork based on our lyrics! It wasn't an already finished product.

"When we first saw Brent's work, we were floored by the mixture of fantasy meets reality and we knew we wanted him to do the artwork for this album! In the end he surpassed our expectations with the fiercest DEATH ANGEL album cover to date!"

Added Brent Elliot White: "Originally the theme of this album was betrayal by those close to you and revenge against the deceitful. After a pretty spirited conversation with Rob [Cavestany, guitar] and e-mails back and forth, the saying 'wolf in sheep's clothing' kept coming up. Basically, we danced around that metaphor 'till it became pretty clear that a direct interpretation was the way to go.

"Illustrating betrayal and revenge in a single piece proved to be a challenge, but as I received the lyrics to the songs, things quickly fell into place."

Singer Mark Osegueda previously stated about the band's decision to work with Suecof, "The new material is the most aggressive and technical music we have written in years. So we needed a producer that was capable of unleashing the tonnes that match and complement the overall vibe of the songs. With Jason's experience in producing some of the most brutal contemporary metal artists and albums of today, I know we made the right choice! I think the collaboration between the two of us will prove to be venomous and infectious!"

Elle est bien crade, et ça ne suinte pas le Photoshop par tous les pores.

Le style me fait penser au Face the Colossus de Dagoba:

Jason Suecof a produit le The Crusade de Trivium, qui possede une prod on ne peut plus politiquement correcte(a la Andy Sneap).
Je sens que j'vais pas l'aimer ce Death Angel...

Rien à voir avec l'album, la musique du groupe est utilisée dans une étude de psychologie par un fan

For decades research has shown that listening to music alleviates anxiety and depression, enhances mood, and can increase cognitive functioning, such as spatial awareness. However, until now, research has not addressed how we listen to music. For instance, is the cognitive benefit still the same if we listen to music while performing a task, rather than before it? Further, how does our preference for a particular type of music affect performance? A new study from Applied Cognitive Psychology shows that listening to music that one likes whilst performing a serial recall task does not help performance any more than listening to music one does not enjoy.

The researchers explored the "irrelevant sound effect" by requiring participants to perform serial recall (recall a list of eight consonants in presentation order) in the presence of five sound environments: quiet, liked music (e.g., RIHANNA, LADY GAGA, STRANGLERS and ARCADE FIRE), disliked music (the track "Thrashers" by DEATH ANGEL), changing-state (a sequence of random digits such as "4, 7, 1, 6") and steady-state ("3, 3, 3"). Recall ability was approximately the same, and poorest, for the music and changing-state conditions. The most accurate recall occurred when participants performed the task in the quieter, steady-state environments. Thus listening to music, regardless of whether people liked or disliked it, impaired their concurrent performance.

Lead researcher Nick Perham explains: "The poorer performance of the music and changing-state sounds are due to the acoustical variation within those environments. This impairs the ability to recall the order of items, via rehearsal, within the presented list. Mental arithmetic also requires the ability to retain order information in the short-term via rehearsal, and may be similarly affected by their performance in the presence of changing-state, background environments."

Although music can have a very positive effect on our general mental health, music can, in the circumstances described, also have negative effects on cognitive performance. Perham remarks, "Most people listen to music at the same time as, rather than prior to performing a task. To reduce the negative effects of background music when recalling information in order one should either perform the task in quiet or only listen to music prior to performing the task."

Perham explained his reasoning for using DEATH ANGEL's song "Thrashers" as the "disliked" music in the study: "We needed a track that most participants would say they did not like. Having been a fan of metal music since my teens, I was pretty confident that a thrash metal song would do the trick as most people never seemed to like the music I liked. In choosing a thrash metal song, I needed a song that was heavy but also allowed the listener to hear many of the different components of the song — the acoustical variation between the successive sound items. We chose 'Thrashers'. Participants were only allowed to participate in the study if they disliked thrash metal as a musical genre.

"Personally, I have been a fan of DEATH ANGEL since 'The Ultra-Violence' and saw them at the Bristol Bierkeller around 1990 supporting the 'Act III' album."

This study is published in the September 2010 issue of Applied Cognitive Psychology.

Nick Perham is a lecturer in the School of Psychology at the University of Wales Institute, Cardiff. He has published and presented widely on the effects of auditory distraction on short-term memory and general task performance.

non mais c'est quoi cet avatar de taré, AME?

Bon sinon, il défouraille pas mal cet album, plus que Killing season je trouve mais nettement moins bon que The art of dying.

Mais c'est surtout en live que ces titres vont bien péter.

Commentaires de Rodrigo et Gabriela sur leur participation :

Natives of Mexico City, Rodrigo Sanchez and Gabriela Quintero began their careers as members of TIERRA ACIDA, a heavy metal band which played on the city's underground gig circuit for seven years.

"Like a lot of Mexican youth, we were heavily influenced by American metal bands — METALLICA, MEGADETH, PANTERA, and also SEPULTURA," Gabriela explained. "It was a full band, very loud, and for vocals, Rodrigo would just scream. We played this way for seven years."

Regarding the new DEATH ANGEL CD, Gabriela said, "The album is fantastic. It brings back the magic that metal used to have back in the days.

"Most bands lost it along the way and the new bands can't find that magic at all, but DEATH ANGEL has that magic! Also great musicianship and their individual playing is first-class! Viva el metal!"

Added Rodrigo: "It's siiiiiiiccccccckkkkk. DEATH ANGEL have brought back the proper metal memories! Great melodies, sound, solos, vocals, and drumming! What can I say? We feel so proud to be part of it!"

Cet album est honteusement ignoré ici!

Bah oui, c'est un excellent album de thrash qui déboîte, alors parlez en autour de vousà , à votre famille, vos amis et vos collègues car il le vaut bien

Et contrairement à Metal Militia, j'aurais tendance à le trouver encore meilleur que the art of dying
