'''Death Angel''' is a Filipino-American [[thrash metal]] band from San Francisco, California. Formed in [[1982]], they helped define the [[Bay Area thrash]] sound with their legendary debut album "[[The Ultra-Violence]]". Death Angel broke up in [[1991]], but reformed at the Thrash Of the Titans benefit concert for [[Chuck Billy (vocalist)|Chuck Billy]] in 2001.


==History==
==PGA tour wins==
*1964 [[Dallas Open]]
===Early Days (1982-1986)===
*1969 Cleveland Open Invitational
Death Angel was formed in San Francisco, CA, in 1982 by Rob Cavestany (lead guitar), brothers Gus Pepa (rhythm guitar) and Dennis Pepa (bass, vocals), and Andy Galeon (drums). Unique in that all of the members were cousins and barely in their teens, the band grew up watching [[Metallica]], [[Megadeth]], [[Testament (band)|Testament]], [[Exodus (band)|Exodus]] and others rise to fame as part of the burgeoning [[Bay Area thrash]] movement. In 1984, Mark Osegueda joined the band as vocalist, although Dennis does sing (along with Rob) on the song "Thrashers", Death Angel's first song, written before Mark joined.
*1971 '''[[The Masters]]'''


[[Major championship]] shown in bold
Death Angel played club gigs in and around the San Francisco Bay Area for the better part of 2 years, writing songs and refining their stage show. In [[1986]], the band recorded their legendary [[Kill As One]] demo with longtime friend [[Kirk Hammett]] (of [[Metallica]]) as producer. Due to the underground [[tape trading]] wave of the early 1980s the demo was widely distributed and received massive interest. Of note was the incredibly young age of virtuoso drummer Andy Galeon, who was only 14 years old at the time of the recording.


==Other regular career wins==
[[Image:KillAsOne.jpg|right|thumb|The Kill As One demo, released in 1986]]
*1971 World Series of Golf
*1973 John Player Classic, W.B. & H.O. Wills Masters
==Champions Tour wins==
*1989 General Tire Las Vegas Classic
*1990 Vantage Championship
*1991 NYNEX Commemorative, Transamerica Senior Golf Championship
*1996 du Maurier Champions
==Other senior career wins==
*1990 [[Liberty Mutual Legends of Golf]] (with [[Dale Douglass]])
*1994 [[Liberty Mutual Legends of Golf]] (with Dale Douglass)
*1998 [[Liberty Mutual Legends of Golf]] (with Dale Douglass)


==Results in major championships==
===The Enigma Years (1987-1988)===
The success of the [[Kill As One]] demo led to a record deal with [[Enigma Records]], who released the critically acclaimed album, ''[[The Ultra-Violence]]'', in [[1987]]. Hailed as one of the greatest [[thrash]] albums of all time, the band recorded the album while they were all under 20 years old. [[The Ultra-Violence]] quickly sold 40,000 copies in only four months, successfully launching Death Angel to the top of the thrash world.

In [[1988]], Death Angel released ''[[Frolic Through The Park]]'', a spotty follow up to ''The Ultra-Violence'', which suffered slightly from rushed production and songwriting. The album spawned the single "Bored", a song that received regular airplay on [[MTV]]'s [[Headbanger's Ball]]. The band toured worldwide for the first time and found notable success in [[Japan]], selling out 2 full Japanese tours.

===The Geffen Years (1989-1990)===
|[[The Masters Tournament|The Masters]]
Death Angel signed with [[Geffen Records]] in [[1989]] and released their third album, the critically acclaimed ''[[Act III]]'' in [[1990]]. Produced by [[Max Norman]] ([[Megadeth]]), the album marked a serious shift in ability and songwriting skill for the band, featuring the blossoming guitar skills of Rob Cavestany, and the melodic songwriting sense of chief writers Rob, Andy, and Mark. Arguably the bands finest effort, ''[[Act III]]'' stands as a metal masterpiece. The band's new found use of full band backing vocals (ala [[Queen (band)|Queen]]) elements of funk, thrash, and heavy metal, along with acoustic songs give the album a varied feel, while staying true to the bands heavy roots.

The album featured the singles "Seemengly Endless Time" and "A Room With A View" - a ballad sung mostly by guitarist Rob Cavestany. Both songs received heavy airplay on [[MTV]]'s [[Headbanger's Ball]], gaining the band a loyal following.

Also in [[1990]], [[Enigma Records]] released ''[[Fall From Grace]]'', a choppy live album featuring songs from their first two releases. Due to the fact that Death Angel signed with [[Geffen Records]] in [[1989]] while still signed to Enigma, and owing one album on their contract, the album was released without any input from the band.

Death Angel embarked on what would've been a worldwide tour in support of ''[[Act III]]'' in 1990, selling out shows at The Warfield Theater in San Francisco, The Ritz in New York, and England's Hammersmith Odeon. The band was also slated to be the opening band for the Clash of the Titans tour (featuring [[Megadeth]], [[Slayer]], and [[Anthrax (band)|Anthrax]] later in the year.

While on the road in Arizona, Death Angel suffered a horrific tour bus crash, in which drummer Andy Galeon was critically injured, needing more than a year to fully recover. During this time vocalist Mark Osegueda left the band and moved to [[New York]] to pursue a life outside of thrash metal. Following the split the remaining members performed a few shows in the Bay Area, appearing as "The Past", playing acoustic-only sets.

In the summer of 1991, with Galeon fully recovered, the band changed their name to [[The Organization (band)|The Organization]], with guitarist Rob Cavestany taking over lead vocal duties. The band continued their exploration into new sounds, focusing less on traditional metal, and more on funk and alt rock.

The Organization toured extensively throughout the US and Europe, including two appearances at [[Holland]]'s [[Dynamo Open Air Festival]], a support slot on Rob [[Halford]]'s "Fight" tour and as the main support act for [[Motorhead]] in [[Europe]]. Unfortunately, both [[1993]]'s ''The Organization'' and [[1995]]'s ''Savor The Flavor'' ([[Metal Blade Records]]) failed to make waves with the record buying public, and after bassist Dennis Pepa left in [[1995]], the band called it quits.

In 1998, Rob Cavestany and Andy Galeon reformed with Mark Osegueda for the first time since 1990. Along with bassist Michael Isaiah, the trio formed [[Swarm (band)|Swarm]] and released the four-song ''Devour'' EP in [[1999]]. Swarm toured with [[Jerry Cantrell]] of [[Alice In Chains]] in [[2000]] and released the full-length album ''Beyond The End'' in [[2002]]. Although Swarm did not become a success, it did bring the core of the band back together, which set the wheels in motion for a Death Angel reunion.

Death Angel officially reunited in August [[2001]] for "Thrash of the Titans", a cancer benefit show for [[Testament (band)|Testament]] frontman [[Chuck Billy (vocalist)|Chuck Billy]]. Unfortunately, original guitarist Gus Pepa was unwilling to participate, so Death Angel enlisted longtime friend Ted Aguilar to handle rhythm guitar duties. Originally planned as a one-off show, the band received such an overwhelming response that the show led to a string of other well-received gigs around the San Francisco area and a more permanent reunion in [[2003]]. In [[2004]], 14 years after their last release as Death Angel, the band released a new album entitled ''[[The Art Of Dying]]'' on [[Nuclear Blast]] records, much to the delight of many long-time fans. ''[[Archives and Artifacts]]'', a box set with remastered versions of their first two long out of print albums ''[[The Ultra-Violence]]'' and ''[[Frolic Through The Park]]'', along with a bonus ''Rarities'' CD and DVD, followed in [[2005]].
