Rob Cavestany (guitars) on vocals turns in a soulful performance. On &#8220;Land of Blood&#8221; bassist Dennis Pepa &#8220;sings&#8221; and is nothing special with the macho shouted stuff. On &#8220;Spirit&#8221; drummer Andy Galeon &#8220;sings&#8221;. His vocals are whiny. The song is faster, mid-paced rock. The riffs are pretty generic, but the speed is supposed to hide that. &#8220;No&#8221; is straight up punk rock. Mark Osegueda sings here and on all the other tracks. &#8220;Thicker than Blood&#8221; is also punk; trying to be fast, but sounds a bit weak. Needs more bite. &#8220;Thrown to the Wolves&#8221; is old-school thrash: energetic, but the guitars sound thin. The drumming is pretty punk, also.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is an eclectic comeback of 80&#8217;s thrash, punk and rock\/blues.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-261","reviews","type-reviews","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Death Angel - &quot;The Art of Dying&quot;
