Death Angel - Seemingly Endless Time

From "Act III" 1990

[@draft13]

I remember the first time I saw this video. (It was the first time I heard of this band.) It was at my Grandmother's house, late at night, on Headbangers Ball. I shortly had all their albums, and listened to them more than Metallica and Megadeth. Still holds up as great music.

[@negativeindustrial]

I had almost the exact same experience at my grandmother's house. Unfortunately the dated vocals don't work for me anymore. My initial reaction was "Sometimes you cant go back"Glad it worked out better for you :/

[@ericsyre9418]

Same scenario here. Grandmother's and cable TV :)

[@j.w.abbott132]

dated vocals? what does that even mean?.. actual singing? that's where the problem is with today's metal , every one wants to growl out their lyrics, it all sounds the same

[@MoeSlislack]

I have a very similar story. I was at grandmas huge house during summertime watching headbangers ball except the first song I heard was "I'm bored".

[@clintsmith-ro5uu]

I remember that triple thrash threat them and Death lack of comprehension

[@voltsrevengeXX]

Death angel and Metal church are the 2 best of the under-rated metal bands of all time. Glad there are so many of true fans still around.

[@aeonsbeyond]

Metalchurch first album is super amazing even 35 years later unprecedented

[@societydwellingifd766]

I played ACT 3 just about every day on my cassette Walkman, walkin to work.

[@Echo4Bravo]

It's good to see a few new comments posted. I was a young buck at 18 in the Marines when this Album dropped. Act 3 is Thrash perfection! Including A Room with a View and Veil of Deception! It's the pinnacle of the very late 80s 1990! Pure Art!

[@vapordreams983]

Jet Jaguar likes Death Angel wtf!!!

[@EvilFeevil]

Veil of Deception and A Room With A View are two classics! Thanks for the reminder. :-) I think I was 17 when this music was out. My memories of Seemingly Endless Time especially are endlessly playing the TurboGrafx-16 video game Bonk's Adventure and bonking a shit ton of enemies over and over with my oversized caveman head and doing flips with him while the solo starting at about 1:24 played. Good times, good teenage memories. I don't personally know any other females who like Death Angel. My hubby doesn't even like them, LOL. In the 80's I was the only one of my female friends who liked Metallica, Megadeth, Anthrax, Death Angel, Flotsam and Jetsam, Testament, etc. My female friends liked Bon Jovi.

[@cd0u50c9]

yeah, indeed good to hear theres still people of that age lovin thrash!!! I started listening to it when i was like 16, 17, im 22 now lol, that music cant be beaten!!! Keep enjoyind dudes, long live thrash!!

[@NamelessHobo]

I can't believe Death Angel isn't a more popular band.

[@ahopefor]

They were in a saturated subgenre at a time when it was at its height, bit yeah they should be more well known.

[@WilderAutumnBlaze]

​@@ahopefor How saturated if in this same year we had Holy Wars, Twisted Into Form, Persistence Of Time, Seasons In The Abyss, Swallowed In Black, etc, and later some killer albums from Sepultura, Megadeth, Slayer, Coroner, Evildead, Annihilator, Sodom, etc, etc?

[@gregchandler6218]

I've wondered the same since UltraViolence was pumped out in 87. I wore out the cheap cassette my friend 'burned, haha' me a copy onto in about 3 weeks and went and bought the vinyl myself. As well as their next 2 albums. Got to hang out with them and Rigor Mortis on the Frolic Tour, because the show we went to lost Power when Death Angel took the stage. I drove the guys to Food World to get beer because the drinking age in Alabama had gone to 21 and I had a fake ID. And I guess they wanted to ride in my Trans AM instead of the other people offering. They were all freaked out someone would steal their money.

[@gianwinters]

I so love UltraViolence and Act III. Act III sound is way ahead of its time.

[@michaelagiles69]

My all time favorite band death angel. So original so special you rule all d.a.

[@modelbass]

AWSOMENESS! If you don't have this CD get it. It rocks as do all their stuff. This band was just ready to explode and sadly their drummer got hurt in a tour bus accident and they ended up breaking up in 1991 or so. They were ALL related and when one couldn't play, the drummer, they split. There back together now and still kick ass.

[@mrb8094]

A bible thumper friend of my moms as a kid found a bunch of metal bands cassette tapes on the road. They acted like they discovered Hitler's diary. I said I would take them. I already had been listening to other heavy stuff like Metallica, Megadeth, Anthrax... you name it. I never heard of Death Angel. Act III was one of the tapes. I couldn't believe I'd never heard of them before since I listened to so much thrash already. Such an underappreciated band and record. Moral of the story is... One person's devil music is another person's great addition to a music collection.

[@megaphisto]

I've always enjoyed the juxtaposition of the speedy thrash music in conjunction with the slow-motion photography in this video. Brilliant!

[@scottmerritt3850]

awesome I was 15 watching a amazing segment on MTV called headbangers ball. Saturday nights. best education ever

[@ciaramaglia01]

hell yeah me too

[@jwinnington]

I remember those days. so awesome!

[@chazzlucas6208]

scott wasnt that the best.... sat. night a party at someones house and watching headbangers ball

[@SoaringTrumpet]

I'll chime up here and say this video and Helloween's I want out (among other forgotten videos) introduced me to such great music on Headbangers Ball.

[@adityadjaja3344]

nowadays MTV is ballbangers head

[@templeofrush]

I saw these guys back in the 90's at the living room in Providence, RI. It was a kick ass show!!!!!

[@johnmcaulay5938]

Classic Death Angel. Totally Awesome.

[@dolphyns2000]

My best friend and got to meet these guys after a show back in 89...they were SO nice, a night I will never forget.

[@IanIsrael]

This song kills even harder live.

[@mikedevereux6858]

have this album on vinyl....I appreciate it more now than I did when it came out....I think looking back the talent as a band actually exceeded the likes of Metallica however the promotion just wasn't there.

[@scottmerritt3850]

excellent observation brother

[@electriccreamman4977]

Mike Devereux true

[@maximumblue8394]

One the greatest metal videos.What a great period this was for metal and rock.

[@ensomniiac]

Anyone else still listening to this banger in 2023

[@retrodemon263]

I saw ‘Death Angel’ on this tour @ UC Irvine with ‘Danzig’ & ‘Trouble’…around 1990…they killed it - Rick Rubin was there 🤘

[@faithfull4373]

was in a Slayer pit w the drummer many yrs ago at the cow palace

[@rickanimaltaylor2758]

Such a killer song brings back alot of cool memories of a way cooler and more free time!!!Real Metal here!!!

[@64underground69]

Death Angel is still one of my favorites! Awesome song! This whole album kicked ass!

[@angrami]

When they appeared on the scene, their drummer was like 12 years old and the band kicked ass!! The Ultraviolence record is a well respected metal album. They're going to play @ the Voodoo Lounge on 6/5/09, hopefully I'll be there!!!.

[@alexsaucedo8032]

My favorite SONG off this album. Love this jam. So badass. Great guitar work and guitar solo. Love me some DEATH ANGEL

[@breakingbones1149]

Oh yeah my friends' band played this @ our school's talent show...I was sitting in the front row the night of the performance and I got up and started headbanging and it blew everybodies minds....I think some parent shit themselves....Classic!

[@chasing_dragons]

Thank you for this iconic video and song. Death Angel really is a great band. A lot of great memories watching this. I miss the late 80's and early 90's really bad.

[@chuax77]

Great song...And great band!!!!Thanks!!!!

[@guiltygear101]

Man, these guys have still got what it takes! Really cool to see some of the old bands coming back to kick the shite out of today's crappy wannabes!

[@aeonsbeyond]

It is the year 2024 now and Megadeth just released the best album of their entire career

[@wingnut0837]

Me and my buddies in high school used to play this song. Great times.

[@RamonSky92]

Прекрасная песня и отличный клип.

[@CosmicMetallMusic9919]

+RamonSky92 Согласен)

[@MsOrion]

This still rocks my socks big time. I was 12 when I fell for this band. I'm now 29 and it's still awesome! :)

[@jessicakirkham7393]

I love this song Death angle you guys rock. I hope you come around to my area cause I would love to see you and Testament play. I know you guys are tour right now.

[@cdnit]

I remember buying this when it came out, couldn't stop listening to it!

[@yippeethreeeight]

How did I never listen to this song between then and now? It's great!

[@johnwalhan7076]

Death Angel is in the top 10 greatest thrash bands of all time. Their late music is awesome too

[@JadeDude1973]

Saw them on the 2012 tour (iirc) and they were DYNAMITE.

[@MetalThrasher90]

"Act III" is fantastic,love each song on that record

[@ErikJoeNoise02]

that´s it .... Death Angel - Seemingly Endless Time ... what a song, what lyrics !!!! just great!

[@joeysixtysix]

Im so old I remember MTV when it was a music channel.

[@wilkyx]

ive got this on vinyl somewhere.totally forgot about them, aint it amazing that you can not hear something for almost 20 years and it comes straight back to you!! i was 16 at the time and i remember thinking how young they looked.

[@Dystopiancircus]

I saw them live back in the day and they were awesome.

[@duuude321]

saw these guys yesterday at the haight street fair in san francisco, they rock!!

[@saderaaredas]

Still sounds awesome. I remember seeing them live 1990 when they started their european tour for this album in my home town.

[@TanrenDojo]

Still sounds good 17 years on, I'm 34 now!!!

[@toasttoasted3492]

Love Death Angel Act ||| is a masterpiece!!! PERIOD

[@OPETHDIVINITY]

I scratched my Frolic through the Park vinyl. I listened to this tape so much I killed it...those were the days!

[@cdnit]

This was their best album, they were produced by Deavid Geffin, 1990 the hight of thrash and 80's metal. This was a great album.

[@linnamuuf]

I first got 'acquainted' with Death Angel when the Act III was released. I was only 11 years old back then and I have loved them ever since. It is the most brilliant, most intelligent thrash metal band that I've heard (though, I like to call it death metal- maybe it's about the period I learnt about it) Needless to say- their new albums are very good. Just very good! Glad, you guys came together again

[@waldecirgoncalvesdasilva6754]

Sempre gostei deste som. So many memories......

[@MrViolero]

This song is very old, I used to listen all musics from this album back in 1994! it is very good though for that time.

[@professoryaffle]

Great trip down memory lane. Saw them on the Act III tour at Rock City, Nottingham supported by Forbidden. Fucking great night!

[@3Storms]

I saw them in the arly 90's too, and it was a kick-ass show.

[@TECHNOID69]

couldnt agree more..awesome album. never get sick of it..

[@RCII1974]

Damn, I have officially been transported back in time...I haven't heard this song or seen the video probably 20+ years. I'm sixteen all over again! :P

[@leolawrenceoram]

Still great after years

[@patr70]

I saw them in Tijuana B.C., Mexico in 1990 one night before the car crash that broke them up for 14 years. There was no noise curfew or time they had to stop playing so they played until 1am. They started playing cover songs of other bands after a while. They had alot of energy. Iguanas was the name of the club in Tijuana.

[@cmorris975]

Drumming, guitars, vocals... good song.

[@JLil]

This was on the mix tape my dad made for me that introduced me to metal back in 90! Freaking Headbangers Ball with Rikki Rachtman!

[@dbthedon]

Absolutely loved this album when it first came out.

[@disinteger]

@paulbongiorno I got to see DA live @ The warfield in SF on this tour. Awesome show I will never forget!

[@townclutz99]

[@Angermgt]

@StayFrostYDC dude I saw the act III tour @ the ritz in manhattan & they played every song from it! There were so many people stage diving (me included) that we were crashing into 1 another on the top. to this day I've still never seen that many people head walking. It was utter chaos dude!That album kicked ass & that show will always be with me. I actually couldn't get off the top once I wen't up.I probably weighed 135 @ the time! I remember meeting gus p. & rob c. @ the upstairs bar.stoked!!!

[@depressedessendonfan5702]

As far as thrash goes this is pretty much the best of it

[@jgrove197]

I discovered these guys in the late 80's on some strange mix tape with their song mistress of pain... Still one of the most underrated metal bands

[@ElJeli]

Es la primera vez que escucho esta canción y me parece extraordinaria, el Heavy Metal en todo su esplendor, con esa furia y esas guitarras excelentemente tocadas.
