Death Angel’s Latest Single “Cult Of The Used” is Pure Thrash Metal Fury
For the second time in six years, thrash metal outfit Death Angel have graced us with a new circle-pit-inducing track in the form of “Cult Of The Used.” And before you ask — no, it’s not about Mark Osegueda’s love of the early 2000s band The Used.
Released earlier this week, the track is a ripper, for sure. Featuring double barrelled rhythms and cutting leads, it’s sure going to get the kids in the pit going crazy. Guitarist Rob Cavestany explains what the track is about:
“Our new song ‘Cult Of The Used’ is a depiction of society under hypnosis, being strategically manipulated and taken advantage of. It urges you to leave the so called reality behind.”
Though the track itself is great, the music video itself has to get some props. The animated video, created by Tamara Llenas of Aimed and Framed, is visually striking. Cavestany had more to say about that, in particular.
“Fendie Daywalker did a stellar job illustrating the Cult Leader ~ beckoning his blinded followers who remain in trance by his strangely charismatic facade, enchanted by the vibrant colors, mesmerized by his stare.”
Released in conjunction with the upcoming start of their Act III U.S. Tour, “Cult Of The Used” is going to absolutely kill it in a live setting.
