February 10, 2009

TESTAMENT frontman Chuck Billy joined DEATH ANGEL on stage for a cover of METALLICA's "Trapped Under Ice" during the benefit concert for DEFTONES bassist Chi Cheng, which was held on November 29, 2008 at Fat City in San Francisco, California. Also appearing on the bill were WILL HAVEN (with a special guest appearance by original singer Grady Avenell),PHALLUCY (featuring DEFTONES drummer Abe Cunningham, EIGHTFOURSEVEN and DEATH VALLEY HIGH.

Video footage of the concert can be viewed below (clips filmed and uploaded by Jsin Diablo of LateNiteSinners.com).

According to photographer Alan Ralph, DEATH ANGEL had several musicians handling bass duties during different parts of the show (following the departure of Dennis Pepa),including Sammy Diosdado who was officially added to the band's lineup in January. Sammy played almost the first half of the set before Steev Esquivel (SKINLAB) took over for one or two songs, followed by a guy named Damien Sisson (from the San Francisco band SCARECROW),who played the rest of the show with the group.
