* the making of "the dream calls for blood"

In a recent interview with metal covenant, Death Angel guitarist rob cavestany stated about the "the dream calls for blood" album title: "the title is basically our motto. it's what we're talking about, you know. In our point of view the dream being our band and keeping the band going and making music for your life. the blood is all the sacrifice and all hard work that goes into it and that's the metaphor for that. it's not only meant for music. It's also meant for other people to relate in their own life and goals that they're trying to achieve and the sacrifices that it takes to achieve these goals. and along with that, there's also a tinge of aggression in there about other people that cut corners and don't quite go through all the steps it takes to achieve the goal the right way. so there's a little bit of a middle finger to those people that go about it that way and don't fully respect what it takes."

Death Angel's north american headlining tour in support of "the dream calls for blood" will kick off on october 18 in san francisco. support on the trek will come from 3 Inches Of Blood, Battlecross, Revocation and Diamond Plate.

"We are so excited to announce this upcoming tour," commented Death Angel vocalist mark osegueda.

"We worked so hard writing, and recording this record! especially writing this while on the road for the last three years of touring. and it reflects the triumphs, and mainly hardships, of all we went through while touring. the anger, perseverance, and energy was captured on the recording of 'the dream calls for blood'.

"This tour is the Perfect springboard to launch off of and back on the road; hungrier and more focused then ever! with a lineup of bands handpicked by us, you’re basically sonically ravaged from the moment the lights dim at the beginning of the night until the lights turn back on at the end! I'm confident every band on this bill plan on sending you home feeling like you've survived a massacre that you can't help but brag about.

"Look forward to feeding off each other's energy!

"Stay hungry! stay thrash! see you on the road, in the pit, and at the bar!!!"

The San Francisco, hollywood and ramona gigs are considered Cd-release shows and everyone that purchases a ticket will also receive a copy of the new Death Angel album at the show.
