Description:Four CD set. Hailing from the same Bay Area thrash metal scene that gave us Metallica, Exodus and Testament, San Francisco's Death Angel was originally formed in 1982. Their self-explanatory 1983 tape, Heavy Metal Insanity demonstrated the influence of the NWOBHM movement in the UK, such as Iron Maiden and Tygers Of Pan Tang, common with many of their American thrash metal peers. Building up a loyal cult following, their Kill As One demo was produced by Metallica's Kirk Hammett, and is included here as a bonus on CD One. Kill As One led to a record deal with Enigma Records, who released their debut album, The Ultra-Violence, in 1987. Their second Enigma album, 1988's Frolic Through The Park is on Disc Two. Bonus tracks are 'Dehumanization', 'Silent Killer' and 'Witches Of Knave'. Jumping ship to Geffen in 1990, Enigma released the unsanctioned live show Fall From Grace in 1990, recorded on stage at the famed Paradiso venue in Amsterdam in 1988, featured on Disc Three. With a set based around their first two albums, including 'Evil Priest', 'Mistress Of Pain' and 'Final Death', '3rd Floor' - previously only available as a rare, Japan only bonus track - has been included here. In 2005, Death Angel allowed their personal archive of master tapes, and even cassettes to be raided for a collection of unreleased demos and rehearsals that go right back to their earliest recordings; collected here on Disc Four as Rarities. The success of Frolic Through The Park led to a more lucrative offer from Geffen, then enjoying huge commercial success with Whitesnake and Guns N' Roses, soon to be followed by Nirvana. But a near fatal crash whilst on tour leaving drummer Andy Galeon seriously injured, directly led to the band's split in 1991. They reformed ten years later in 2001, touring and recording new albums from thereon to the present day.
"The Enigma Years 1987-1990 (4CD Wallet Set)" by Death Angel is a comprehensive collection that captures the raw energy and innovation of one of thrash metal's most influential bands during their formative years. This set includes remastered versions of their classic albums released under Enigma Records, showcasing standout tracks and rare material from 1987 to 1990. Fans will appreciate the powerful riffs, dynamic vocals, and relentless pace that defined Death Angel?s early sound. Cherry Red, renowned for its dedication to preserving music history through high-quality reissues and box sets, ensures this release meets collectors' standards with detailed liner notes and superior audio quality. Formed in San Francisco in the early '80s, Death Angel quickly rose to prominence within the Bay Area thrash scene alongside legends like Metallica and Exodus. Their debut album "The Ultra-Violence" is considered a genre milestone, while subsequent releases cemented their reputation for technical prowess and energetic live performances.

Death Angel was formed in San Francisco, California in 1982 by cousins ​​Rob Cavestani (guitar), Dennis Pepa (vocals, bass), Gus Pepa (rhythm guitar), and Andy Galleon (drums). After considering a number of different names for the band, including "Dark Fury", Caestani and Dennis, Pepa settled on the name Death Angel. In 1983, the band released their first demo, Heavy Metal Insanity, with Matt Wallace serving as producer. According to Mark Osegueda, the band was like metal bands like Iron Maiden, Tygers Of Pan Tang and stuff like that. Death Angel continued to play in clubs and around San Francisco for almost 2 years. In 1986, the band recorded a Kill As One demo with Metallica member Kirk Hammett as producer. In 1987 Death Angel released their first studio album, The Ultra-Violence, with Enigma Records. The band recorded the album when all of the band members were still under 20, and the album sold 40,000 copies in just four months. The band released their second album Frolic Through The Park in 1988. While the track "Bored" from that album was being played on MTV at the Headbanger's ball, the band toured England, where they opened for Motörhead. In the meantime, the appearance of the team on television sparked interest among the majors, and soon the band received a contract from Geffen Records. Collaboration with Geffen was good for the musicians, and in 1990 they released the album Act III, recognized by many as thrash classics.
