Death Angel Drop First New Song in Six Years “Wrath (Bring Fire)”
With their summer tour fast approaching, Death Angel dropped their first new song in half a dozen years. Along with an accompanying lyric video and visualizer, “Wrath (Bring Fire)” is a firey return to putting out new tunes. And while it’s not attached to a new album (yet), it definitely lives up to the band’s explosive brand of thrash metal.
In a statement from frontman Mark Osegusda. the song is the band’s first new output since Humanicide and was written during the whole pandemic shut down. He went on to explain what went into writing the these lyrics.
“‘Wrath(Bring Fire)’ is the first Death Angel song featuring the whole band to be released since our 2019 Grammy nominated album Humanicide. This song was however written during the pandemic.
“I wrote the lyrics and melody to this song in January of 2021. During that time I was, as all of us were, stuck at home lost, angry and very confused. I was also watching way more television than I usually had. One genre being medieval/fantasy shows which were kind of new to me as an adult. Yet! Were very popular during that time. Which makes sense in retrospect. We all needed some new forms of escapism from the worldwide Hell that we were all going through..That being said..It was partially what inspired these lyrics. An ancient/medieval fantasy end of the world war meets my actual approach in disputes..That can unfortunately, for all involved, turn very ugly if I’m pushed to a certain level or place when I feel I’m being wronged!
“And.. As always for me.. Pen doesn’t hit the paper until I hear the music and that paints a picture and inspires a vision that ends up being my lyrics. And the music Rob wrote for this and the fantasy/medieval based shows I was watching at that time and the personal hell that I was going through, figuring out who the hell I was during that awful time in our collective history and marrying that with my true personal aggressions and fury that I still fight with to this very day when I feel I’ve been wronged inspired this song! And it does still happen to me and I’m sure all of us. It definitely still happens to me to this very day! Sometimes it still does by those that are supposed to be closest to me that think they must be more clever than me.
“When in actuality…They are jusdd
“That being said, when I come I’ll bring FIRE!!”
