Bay Area thrash icons gear up for a ferocious tour while celebrating a landmark album reissue.

Legends never die, and neither does the unrelenting spirit of Death Angel. The Bay Area thrash titans have just announced a short yet blistering European run to cap off 2026. Joining them in this metal melee are fellow thrash warriors, Vio-Lence, promising a tour that will echo through the ages.

Set your calendars, metalheads: December will witness Death Angel storming stages across Europe, with stops in iconic venues from Brno to Hamburg. Unleash your inner thrash fiend and snatch your tickets now at deathangel.us/tour before they vanish into the ether.

But that’s not all—Death Angel is also set to celebrate the 10th anniversary of their critically lauded eighth studio album, The Evil Divide. This celebration comes with a shiny new vinyl reissue, set to drop on July 24 via Nuclear Blast Records. Originally unleashed upon the world on May 27, 2016, The Evil Divide solidified the band's place in thrash metal history with its furious energy and masterful songwriting.

Produced by the legendary Jason Suecoff, the album is a sonic juggernaut that captures the essence of Death Angel’s four-decade legacy. The anniversary edition will feature a bonus track, “Wasteland,” marking its vinyl debut, and will also be available for streaming worldwide, a treat for fans who thought they’d never hear this gem outside of limited editions.

As we wait for the tour and the vinyl to land, dive back into the chaos with the music video for the single “Lost.” Prepare to relive the thunderous riffs and soaring vocals that define Death Angel’s relentless assault on the senses.

Death Angel has proven time and again that they are not just surviving the thrash metal landscape; they are reshaping it. With a legacy that stretches back to their teenage days in the Bay Area, they've evolved without losing their core identity. This is a band that thrives on intensity, complexity, and an unyielding commitment to their craft. In a world of fleeting trends, Death Angel stands as a bastion of true metal.
