If the ‘Bay Area Strikes Back’ tour has proved anything both here in the U.S. and overseas, it’s that Death Angel’s style has an enduring, staying power. Although the group‘s line-up and sound have changed somewhat since ‘The Ultra-Violence’ released in 1987, that’s not necessarily a bad thing. Singer Mark Osegueda has never sounded better as evidenced at their live shows and on their latest record, “Humanicide.’ YouTube videos of their recent tour abroad show a band firing on all cylinders and able to play all eras of the band with relative ease. Additionally, drummer Will Carroll is a veritable beast on the drums who commands your attention and adds a special shuffle to older tracks that pleases on all fronts. Doors open at 6pm and the show starts promptly at 6:50pm. Advance tickets are $29.50 and can be purchased at Recycled Records Reno and at www.cargoreno.com. The Cargo Concert Hall is located at 255 North Virginia in Reno. All ages are welcome. Thrash ‘til death.
