DEATH ANGEL's 10 Best Songs According To Guitarist Ted Aguilar
September 15, 2014, 10 years ago
Death Angel guitarist Ted Aguilar recently spoke with the Miami New Times and offered his thoughts on the band's 10 best songs. An excerpt from the interview is available below:
8. "Guilty Of Innocence"
Aguilar: "That's a song that has a bit of metal and crossover punk, which I like. It's one of those bastard tracks, not a hit. It's just something about the opening riff, when you hear it, and the drums come in, you just wanna go beat up somebody. The bastard tracks are the songs that are not hits, that the band usually doesn't play live, the black sheep of the album that don't see the light of day. The deep cuts. The jam that's buried."
7. "Thrown To The Wolves"
Aguilar: "That's a song written when the band was first getting back together and we were writing The Art of Dying. Just the band getting to know each other. Death Angel had disbanded for 11 years, and after three years of touring, started to write again. It was the last song written on the record. It's really fast and aggressive and the lyrics are just like, We're back and not gonna go anywhere. It's a thrashist song, so that's what I like about it. I'm drawn to the more aggressive songs, and that's the most aggressive song on that album.
