3/5 ·
Warthur
Discouraged by their albums languishing in obscurity, shaken by a terrifying bus accident, and disgusted by their record label trying to force them to ditch drummer Andy Galleon rather than waiting for him to recover from his injuries from the crash, Death Angel called it a day in 1991, returning 13 years later with this intriguing reunion album.

It's fairly standard thrash stuff, and on the whole I wouldn't say it's on a par with their original three albums - but it does come pretty close, to the extent that I'd be very interested in hearing more of the post-reunion material (particularly since, judging from the ratings on here, they improve from this point on). To be honest, this album is precisely as good as it needs to be, and no better: it didn't need to be an all-time thrash classic, and it isn't that, but it did need to prove that Death Angel could still thrash like champs, and it certainly does that.
