DEATH ANGEL Launch Music Video For Cover Of QUEEN & DAVID BOWIE’s ‘Under Pressure’
October 9th, 2020

San Francisco, California-based thrash metal band Death Angel have released a music video for their acoustic rendition of Queen & David Bowie’s 1981 hit single ‘Under Pressure’. Directed by Tricia Aguilar, the clip can be viewed below.

Death Angel issued four-song digital EP Under Pressure on October 9th, 2020 through Nuclear Blast Records.

Vocalist Mark Osegueda commented: “The Under Pressure EP is something I feel that we needed to release during these very frustrating times. These are very heavy times, and although it’s an all-acoustic EP it’s heavy in a different sense of the word. And music is how we express ourselves best!

“These times will eventually pass and we shall all regroup and once again celebrate the other side of HEAVY that is the foundation of our truly fantastic metal scene! Until then… Stay safe, healthy, and happy! I hope you enjoy!!”

Guitarist Rob Cavestany added: “What started out as simply expressing emotion through music as a cathartic reaction to the madness engulfing our world, has turned into our first EP. Pure, raw and spontaneous, it’s also our first all-acoustic release. Hoping this offering finds you well and brings warmth to your heart and soul. Together we shall overcome! Thank you for listening.”

As well as the cover rendition of ‘Under Pressure’, the EP also includes a brand new original song ‘Faded Remains’ and two newly recorded acoustic versions of ‘A Room With A View’ (from April 1990’s Act III) and ‘Revelation Song’ (from May 2019’s Humanicide).

Under Pressure was mixed by Max Norman, while mastering duties fell to Ted Jensen.

The track listing is as follows:

01. ‘Under Pressure’ (Queen & David Bowie cover)
02. ‘Faded Remains’
03. ‘A Room With A View (2020 Acoustic Version)’
04. ‘Revelation Song (2020 Acoustic Version)’

Death Angel’s line-up is as follows:

Mark Osegueda (vocals)
Rob Cavestany (guitar)
Ted Aguilar (guitar)
Damien Sisson (bass)
Will Carroll (drums)

Ninth studio record Humanicide was released in May 2019.
