Bay Area thrash metal veterans DEATH ANGEL have unleashed a brand new single, ‘The Never Was,’ accompanied by an official lyric visualizer. The track arrives as the band prepares for an extensive run of international touring, including upcoming performances across Europe and Australia, as well as their annual holiday shows.
A relentless display of the speed, precision and aggression that have defined the band’s sound for more than four decades, ‘The Never Was’ delivers another dose of the uncompromising thrash metal that has cemented DEATH ANGEL’s reputation as one of the genre’s most enduring and influential acts.
Vocalist Mark Osegueda comments:
“We’re excited to unleash a brand new Death Angel track, called ‘The Never Was’! Lyrically it’s inspired by self centered people that feel the need to make every conversation, tragedy, including someone else’s success or even death all about themselves. Without fail they do it time and again. They truly think they are glorious in every way. Especially now with social media they have a bigger outlet and platform to glorify what they feel is their brilliance and/or opinion on the matter while always circling back to themselves. Everyone knows someone like this whether it be in business, sports, acting and most definitely in music! The thing that amazes me most is that most of these exhaustingly annoying ego-maniacs have no idea that they are doing it. However it is very apparent to everyone around them.
This song is basically the Thrash Metal bastard spawn of ‘You’re So Vain’ by Carly Simon. As it was inspired by a couple of actual people that are too damn self absorbed to ever realize collectively they were my muse. In the ugliest way! We all know someone like this. And I just wanted to express my disgust in that human trait the best way possible! Angry music!
See you on the road! Thrash!”
The official lyric visualizer for ‘The Never Was’ features original drawings and video production by Tamara Llenas of Aimed & Framed, with single cover artwork created by Mark Richards.
