Thrash metal lifers Death Angel have issued their brand new single “The Never Was“. The below animated visualizer was put together for that new track. As for what inspired the song, the band’s vocalist Mark Osegueda checked in with the following insight:
“We’re excited to unleash a brand new Death Angel track, called ‘The Never Was’! Lyrically it’s inspired by self centered people that feel the need to make every conversation, tragedy, including someone else’s success or even death all about themselves. Without fail they do it time and again. They truly think they are glorious in every way.
Especially now with social media they have a bigger outlet and platform to glorify what they feel is their brilliance and/or opinion on the matter while always circling back to themselves. Everyone knows someone like this whether it be in business, sports, acting and most definitely in music! The thing that amazes me most is that most of these exhaustingly annoying ego-maniacs have no idea that they are doing it. However it is very apparent to everyone around them.
This song is basically the thrash metal bastard spawn of ‘You’re So Vain’ by Carly Simon. As it was inspired by a couple of actual people that are too damn self absorbed to ever realize collectively they were my muse. In the ugliest way! We all know someone like this. And I just wanted to express my disgust in that human trait the best way possible! Angry music!
See you on the road! Thrash!”
Death Angel continue to tour on their third studio album “Act III” as of late, with tours celebrating that record booked for Europe and Australia in the months to come.
