Five years after acclaimed comeback album The Art of Dying and follow-up Killing Season, influential San Francisco thrash metal quintet Death Angel (with Jackson-wielding guitarist Rob Cavestany) has released its first-ever live DVD, Sonic German Beatdown, consisting of two full-length concerts filmed in Germany.
The two-disc DVD set presents performances from the 2007 Rock Hard Festival in Gelsenkirchen, Germany, and a 2008 club show in Adelsheim, Germany. Bonus material includes music videos for “Thicker Than Blood” and “Dethroned,” and a live CD of the Rock Hard Festival performance (also available as a vinyl double album).
Further, Cavestany and bandmate Ted Aguilar can be seen on EMGTV (www.emgpickups.com/pages/emgtv) demonstrating classic Death Angel riffs and discussing their gear; there’s also an interview there with Cavestany about his new signature Jackson “Death Angel” guitar.
