Death Angel to work with Jason Suecof on new album.

Death Angel have announced the band will be working with producer Jason Suecof (Whitechapel,Black Dahlia Murder) on their new album. Rob Cavestany, lead guitarist of Death Angel had this to say about plans for the new album:

“Jason is one of my favorite producers churning out some of the sickest slabs of metal out there today. I am so stoked to have the chance to co-produce our next record with him. It’s gonna be vicious! The band is on fire right now in the thick of pre-production and the new songs are crushing! We can’t wait to start tracking!”

When asked about the hiring of Suecof, Death Angel vocalist, Mark Osegueda, added: “We are so excited about the opportunity to work with Jason on the upcoming album. The new material is the most aggressive and technical music we have written in years. So, we needed a producer that was capable of unleashing the tones that match and compliment the over-all vibe of the songs. With Jason’s experience in producing some of the most brutal contemporary metal artists and albums of today I know we made the right choice! I think the collaboration between the two of us will prove to be venomous and infectious! It will be DEATH ANGEL’s first album ever recorded outside of our home state of California. We will be heading out to Jason’s very own Audio Hammer studios for total immersion into what, I can guarantee, will be the heaviest DEATH ANGEL album to date!”

Mike Portnoy finishes work on new Avenged Sevenfold album.

Mike Portnoy (Dream Theater) recently finished tracking his drum parts for the upcoming new Avenged Sevenfold album. He had the following to say regarding the studio sessions:

“Just finished my drum tracks for the Avenged Sevenfold album…what an amazing and emotional experience! Me and Zacky celebrated by getting matching Death Bat tats here in the studio.

I must thank the amazing A7X fans for being so open and welcoming to me. I was fearing them being very defensive over The Rev’s drum throne but they’ve all been so supportive, open-minded, understanding and excited by the news…it is a huge relief to me and the guys!.

What an awesome family spirit these guys have…lotsa love! Shadows, Gates, Zacky and Johnny are now my brothers for life. Hopefully this won’t be the last time I play with them.

And oh yeah, the album is gonna be incredible!

The Rev is absolutely looking down with a big-ass smile on his face!”
