The Evil Divide is the eighth studio album by the American thrash metal band Death Angel, released on May 27, 2016.[2] This album marked the first time since Act III (1990) that Death Angel had not made any personnel changes in three consecutive studio albums, and their third collaboration with longtime producer Jason Suecof.
Reception
The Evil Divide has received positive reviews. Kevin Stewart-Panko of Metal Injection gave the album a rating of seven-and-a-half stars out of ten and calls it "a seriously angry sounding metal album. It gravitates from fast, blood-boiling thrash to mid-paced thrash, a swing that may not seem so wild on paper, but within the context of the ten songs here, presents noticeable worlds of divergence between song sequences and movements."[1]
