Death Angel burst onto the thrash metal scene in 1987 with The Ultra-Violence, a ferocious debut that announced the arrival of a remarkably young and talented band from the San Francisco Bay Area. The album is a relentless showcase of technical riffing, aggressive energy, and musicianship that set it apart from much of the thrash metal of its era. Highlights include the epic ten-minute instrumental title track, a bold and ambitious piece that gave the band room to flex their chops in a way rarely seen in the genre.
This remastered edition of The Ultra-Violence benefits from improved audio clarity, particularly in the guitar work, which gains the punch and presence the original mix was often criticized for lacking. For fans of classic thrash metal and Death Angel's early catalog, this pressing — on striking Smoking Crater vinyl — is a great way to experience one of the genre's most compelling debut albums in a format that does it justice.
