DEATH ANGEL Gets Visit From RODRIGO Y GABRIELA At Hollywood Gig

February 26, 2011

Photos of DEATH ANGEL's February 22, 2011 concert at the Key Club in Hollywood, California can be found at this location (courtesy of Stephanie Cabral). Included are pictures of members of DEATH ANGEL with RODRIGO Y GABRIELA — the dynamic Mexican duo which became an international world-music phenomenon with its self-titled album of aggressive acoustic guitars and irresistible Latin rhythms.

RODRIGO Y GABRIELA makes a guest appearance on the track "Claws In So Deep" from the new DEATH ANGEL album, "Relentless Retribution".

Natives of Mexico City, Rodrigo Sanchez and Gabriela Quintero began their careers as members of TIERRA ACIDA, a heavy metal band which played on the city's underground gig circuit for seven years.

"Like a lot of Mexican youth, we were heavily influenced by American metal bands — METALLICA, MEGADETH, PANTERA, and also SEPULTURA," Gabriela explained. "It was a full band, very loud, and for vocals, Rodrigo would just scream. We played this way for seven years."

Regarding the new DEATH ANGEL CD, Gabriela said, "The album is fantastic. It brings back the magic that metal used to have back in the days.

"Most bands lost it along the way and the new bands can't find that magic at all, but DEATH ANGEL has that magic! Also great musicianship and their individual playing is first-class! Viva el metal!"

Added Rodrigo: "It's siiiiiiiccccccckkkkk. DEATH ANGEL have brought back the proper metal memories! Great melodies, sound, solos, vocals, and drumming! What can I say? We feel so proud to be part of it!"
