DEATH ANGEL are pleased to announce their North American headlining tour in support of their upcoming thrashsterpiece, "The Dream Calls For Clood". Joining them on a savage aural assault across two nations are 3 INCHES OF BLOOD, BATTLECROSS, REVOCATION, and DIAMOND PLATE.
“We are so excited to announce this upcoming tour”, commented vocalist Mark Osegueda. “We worked so hard writing, and recording this record! Especially writing this while on the road for the last 3 years of touring. And it reflects the triumphs, and mainly hardships of all we went through while touring. The anger, perseverance, and energy was captured on the recording of »The Dream Calls for Blood«. This tour is the PERFECT spring board to launch off of and back on the road; hungrier and more focused then ever! With a lineup of bands handpicked by us, you’re basically sonically ravaged from the moment the lights dim at the beginning of the night, until the lights turn back on at the end! I'm confident every band on this bill plan on sending you home feeling like you've survived a massacre that you can't help but brag about. Look forward to feeding off each other’s energy! Stay hungry! Stay thrash! See you on the road, in the pit, and at the bar”!!!

Three years have passed since the release of DEATH ANGEL’s crushing "Relentless Retribution" album; three years of constant touring and on-the-road-songwriting. Now the Bay Area veterans have returned with yet another visceral slice of thrash! "The Dream Calls for Blood" was recorded at AudioHammer Studios with Jason Suecof (TRIVIUM, AUGUST BURNS RED, THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER, ALL THAT REMAINS, WHITECHAPEL, DEVILDRIVER), and once again features cover art by Brent Elliot White (JOB FOR A COWBOY,CARNIFEX, WHITECHAPEL). "The Dream Calls For Clood" will be released to the rabid masses on October 11th (Rest of Europe), October 14th (UK), and October 15th (North America).
"Relentless Retribution" sold around 2,700 copies in the United States in its first week of release. The CD landed at position No. 10 on the Top New Artist Albums (Heatseekers) chart, which lists the best-selling albums by new and developing artists, defined as those who have never appeared in the Top 100 of The Billboard 200. The record also came in at #188 on Billboards Top Current Albums chart, making it DEATH ANGEL’s highest charting record since the bands reformation in 2004.
