On December 26th, Bay Area thrashers Death Angel performed at the Whisky-A-Go-Go in Hollywood, CA as the first of two special Christmas shows. They were joined on stage by former Megadeth guitarist Chris Broderick for the song "Empty", played live that night for the first time ever. Check out the fan-filmed footage below:

Former Megadeth drummer Shawn Drover hadchecked in with the following update on his new band with Broderick and ex-Scar The Martyr vocalist Henry Derek Bonner (pictured above):

"Happy Holidays, everybody!! It seems time for an update, don’t you think...

At this point I can reveal to you that Chris Broderick and myself have the “music" for our debut record written - Henry Bonner is our singer, who has sang on six songs in demo form at this point, to which its all sounding 100% HEAVY METAL. Some of the song’s are very aggressive and fast, other’s are more “accessible” to the average heavy metal listener.

I don’t like to label everything into the 100 sub-genres of metal. To me, Accept is pure heavy metal, yet so is King Diamond and Gojira - do they sound the same?? NO, but they are all METAL!!  Chris, Henry and myself are all fans of all kinds of heavy music, which is great, as we are not putting any musical parameters on what we are creating here, which is very liberating, I must say.  

There is still a TON of great things going on that we cannot reveal at this point... Just know that we are all working hard to bring you the best heavy metal music we can. For the time being, I hope all of you have a great Holiday season."

Stay tuned for updates.
