SLIPKNOT Drummer Pays Tribute To DEATH ANGEL

April 14, 2006

DEATH ANGEL's official web site has been updated with a photo of SLIPKNOT drummer Joey Jordison at the age of 16 sporting a DEATH ANGEL t-shirt and standing behind a drum kit ready to pound away on the skins. An accompanying message from Jordison reads as follows: "This is a picture is from from my 1991 yearbook wearing a DEATH ANGEL 'The Ultra-Violence' shirt. Me and my friends were all heavily influenced by the band and played covers in our garage of DEATH ANGEL classics such as 'Mistress of Pain', 'Bored' and 'Seemingly Endless Time'. It's almost 15 years later and I am still a fan of the band. The new record, 'The Art of Dying', is a must for any fan of old-school upbeat thrash. Here's to one of the best Bay Area bands EVER! Man, my hair sucked."

"The Art of Dying" was released in May 2004 through Nuclear Blast Records. The group's first studio album since 1990's "Act III", "The Art of Dying" was recorded at SF Soundworks studios in San Francisco, California with producer Brian Joseph Dobbs (VOIVOD, MANMADEGOD).
