Death Angel, a band whom I have followed since "Ultra-Violence" first saw the light of day, quickly disappeared after its' most respectable 3rd installment, "Act III". In 2004, they return with the proverbial "comeback album" that put the influential & talented Death Angel back on the map. However, "The Killing Season" is absolutely their best offering to date as it is readily apparent that the band is back for real, and with a bloody vengeance. This is heavier, darker, thicker and more accomplished than I could have ever imagined. Despite the groove-laden descriptor and the fact that Death Angel are a group of virtuosos in their own right, there is a bit of a spirited "punky" feel to this that just elevates the overall rowdiness of the album. Nick R's production job provides the bulldozing heft to the bottom end & guitars and to sum it all up, EVERYTHING about this album works to extreme effect. Killing Season is one of the best metal albums in my rather substantial collection and the team of tracks that Death Angel ominously fielded this time around, drove, pounded and crushed their way to an undefeated season; a killing season for sure that massacres the competition and leaves them in a crumpled, pleading dung heap at center field. This truly is a metal album for credible headbangers.

Death Angel never ceases to amaze me!
I picked this up at my local record store and I'm very impressed. "Killing Season" is not as great as "Act III" or "Ultra- Violence" but "Killing Season" still kicks some major a##. It's also one of the better releases I've seen this year. What intrigued me was it has a neat fold out poster inside. Though there is no lyric sheet, the record itself is still worth its time. Once you hear the acoustic intro on "Lord Of Hate", you won't put "Killing Season" down for quite some time.

Best of 2008
Energy, pure Energy. This album will be one of the best metal albums of 2008.Death Angel is back and with a vengeance! This album totally kicks butt with acoustics and harmonies, coupled with ripping and shredding of guitars that is very dynamic and goes a bit deeper that you average metal album. All this fronted by a depth of vocal skill and backed with drumming that is hard to beat.
