Thrash metal titans Death Angel storm back into 2025 with their ferocious new single ‘Cult of the Used,’ their second new release in six years. The track hits like a sledgehammer, fueled by the band’s signature chugging rhythms, razor-sharp riffs, and breakneck precision. Accompanied by a stunning animated video created by Tamara Llenas of Aimed and Framed, the song showcases Death Angel at their most fierce and focused. Guitarist Rob Cavestany explains, “‘Cult of the Used’ is a depiction of society under hypnosis, being strategically manipulated and taken advantage of. It urges you to leave the so-called reality behind.”
Cavestany also praised the video’s creative team, adding, “Fendie Daywalker did a stellar job illustrating the Cult Leader, beckoning his blinded followers who remain in trance by his strangely charismatic facade, enchanted by the vibrant colors, mesmerized by his stare.” The band timed the release to coincide with their highly anticipated ACT III U.S. Tour, which kicks off November 26 in Denver and concludes with two nights at The Fillmore in San Francisco on December 18 and 19 for their 10th Annual ‘Another Death Angel Xmas Show(s).’ “We haven’t headlined in the States since 2019,” Cavestany says, “so we wanted to make it extra extra! Of course we’re excited to include ‘Cult of the Used’ in our setlist when we hit the road this month.”
