Review by illusionist for Death Angel - Relentless Retribution (2010)

Death Angel makes a strong statement

Surprisingly good! My favorite of the modern era of Death Angel. They hadn't sounded this fresh the 80s and haven't again since. Their mid-tempo thrash riffs and snarling vocals are at their crispest here, and they also take a few risks that pay off like on the story-oriented "Opponents At Sides" - a song that feels more 'epic' with its longer run time and clean vocal sections. Perhaps overstays its welcome with 3-4 songs I consider filler, but there's an ample helping of great stuff here! Recommended if you enjoy some good 'ole thrash/heavy metal with an angry bite to it.

Highlights: Absence of Light, Opponents at Sides, This Hate, Truce
