Hailing from the same Bay Area thrash metal scene that gave us Metallica, Exodus and Testament, San Francisco's Death Angel were originally formed in 1982. Building up a loyal cult following, their 'Kill As One' demo was produced by Metallica's Kirk Hammett, and is included here as a bonus on CD one. 'Kill As One' led to a record deal with Enigma Records, who released their debut album, 'The Ultra-Violence', in 1987. In 2005, Death Angel allowed their personal archive of master tapes, and even cassettes to be raided for a collection of unreleased demos and rehearsals that go right back to their earliest recordings; collected here on CD4 as 'Rarities'.
