Bay Area thrashers DEATH ANGEL have checked in with the following updates, courtesy of guitarist Rob Cavestany and vocalist Mark Osegueda:

Rob: "Back in Oakland and back to tracking! Mix begins in a week so that means a few more days to take it to Level 100. This time with a blueberry smoothie!"

Mark: "Just when I think I'm done, they pull me back in! In Oakland taking the new record to the next level" Last minute tweaks, for the better! Attack!"

Death Angel have posted video updates from the studio, available below. Guitarist Rob Cavestany also issued the following update:

“Relentless turned out the way we wanted so we we're taking it to the next level with the same team. The new album will be done at AudioHammer Studios with Jason Suecof and I producing. We had a blast doing the last record there and now we know each other better and how well we work together... plus the album cover art is being done by Brent Elliot White who did Relentless Retribution. Let's just say we have a good feeling about this one. All the music has been written - much of it on tour buses during the past couple of years, the rest of it in the studio over the past few months. This is some of the heaviest, fastest, most powerful material we've ever created! There's something really dark in it too... music is and always will be our outlet to vent and release the built up pressure that life deals. In the world today we need it more than ever!!! Currently the new record is slated for release in October. Of course a massive tour will follow! It's our mission to deliver, we ain't fuckin’ around!"
