Limited edition digibook with bonus track and DVD As much as I love old school thrash, i.e. thrash played by bands that were actually
around when the subgenre did some serious business back in the 1980s,
it’s hard to give the old guard the benefit of the doubt in this day and
age. A lot of this is down to the fact that both labels and bands are
often complicit in what can only be called misleading promotional
campaigns. A lot of pre-release talk of album X being band Y’s
“thrashiest in years” is often just code for “well, it is thrashy in
places but overall this is just derivative groove-inflected metal.” See
the post-millennium releases of Destruction and Exodus for an example of
this annoying phenomenon. Death Angel certainly haven’t been entirely
innocent in this regard, as albums like The Art of Dying and Killing
Season didn’t exactly set the world on fire. The brilliant Relentless
Retribution was a massive step in the right direction, and the newly
released The Dream Calls for Blood is hands down the meanest slab of
thrash they’ve released since The Ultra-Violence. Let’s not mince words
here: this IS a thrash album through and through. It’s such a
belligerent album, in fact, that I almost ended up giving it a very
negative review. The first few listens did nothing for me, and while I
appreciated the no holds barred approach taken here I missed the
quirkiness that had always characterized their music. Simply put, The
Dream Calls for Blood felt like a cold, mechanical and soulless album.
Big on heft, low on heart. Perseverance pays off though, and a few
additional spins convinced yours truly that this is indeed another
triumph for a band that clearly still has a lot of gas left in the tank.
The cover art, which is reminiscent of some of the old Catamenia album
covers, already makes it clear that this will be a ferocious affair and
opener “Left for Dead” further nails the point home. Sure, the melodies
are darker than usual, Mark Osegueda sounds more vitriolic than usual
and the playful funk tendencies of yore are all but gone, but that
classic Death Angel spirit is still coursing through every song here.
It’s true that the band’s decision to go for the jugular from beginning
to end does rob the album of a bit of variety, and it doesn’t have quite
as many individual standouts as their previous album, but there are a
more than a handful of winners on here. “Territorial Instinct/Bloodlust”
has a batch of crunchy mid-paced riffs and a killer melodic break that
will have Helstar fans flopping on the floor, while “Fallen” shows
excellent balance between vocal harmonies and effective guitars. All in
all this is a stellar album that throws down the gauntlet to the thrash
scene at large.
