AVENGER OF BLOOD – The Death Brigade - (Heavy Artillery HA5500326 / HA5500319) CD/LP – Street Date 01/08/08
Continuing the heavy metal onslaught, Heavy Artillery bring you the latest installment of brutality in the form of Death Brigade by Las Vegas metal mercenaries AVENGER OF BLOOD. AOB was unleashed into this world in March, 2003 in the San Francisco Bay Area. Influenced by first-wave German and American thrash metal bands such as KREATOR, SODOM, DESTRUCTION, SLAYER and EXODUS, the band had quickly turned into a formidable force, gaining notoriety with the release of their first self-titled demo that same year. Seeking new territories to conquer, AVENGER OF BLOOD dispatched themselves permanently to Las Vegas in March of 2004 to better suit their destructive needs.Their tracks on the SPEED KILLS...AGAIN compilation left fans demanding more and AVENGER OF BLOOD mean to deliver. Adorned with killer cover artwork by legendary MOTORHEAD cover artist JOE PETAGNO, "Death Brigade" draws first blood with ten punishing tracks plus a bonus eleventh track on the limited edition vinyl version. With death on his mind, the winged avenger doth come!
