The five members of the veteran San Francisco Bay Area metal band DEATH ANGEL recently answered a number of fan-submitted questions via a series of clips posted on their official YouTube channel. You can now see the latest footage below.

DEATH ANGEL recently canceled its participation in the Neckbreaker’s Ball European tour with DARK TRANQUILLITY, ELUVEITIE, VARG, MERCENARY and OMNIUM GATHERUM because “an incredible opportunity . . . has arisen for the band” — believed to be a rumored U.S. trek with ANTHRAX and TESTAMENT.

DEATH ANGEL will release a DVD entitled “A Thrashumentary” in the spring of 2012. According to a press release, “A Thrashumentary” is a combination live video and documentary, all wrapped up in one thrashing DVD. The footage was directed by Tommy Jones (SOILWORK, KATAKLYSM) and mixed by Chris Clancy of The Studio. The film gives the viewer an in-depth look into one of the longest-running thrash acts out of the San Francisco Bay Area, a region known for turning out historic thrash bands such as METALLICA, TESTAMENT and EXODUS.

“Relentless Retribution”, the latest album from DEATH ANGEL, sold 2,700 copies in the United States in its first week of release. The CD landed at position No. 10 on the Top New Artist Albums (Heatseekers) chart, which lists the best-selling albums by new and developing artists, defined as those who have never appeared in the Top 100 of The Billboard 200. The band’s previous album, “Killing Season”, opened with around 2,300 units back in March 2008. This number was in line with the performance of its predecessor, “The Art of Dying”, which registered a first-week sales tally of around 2,100 back in May 2004.

“Relentless Retribution” was released in the U.S. on September 14, 2010 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).
