That Ultra-Violence riff is fuckin' awesome. Bought the cassette at the Chico Tower Records late 1987. Loved that they were my age, I was 16, and rippin' it up! Huge fan of the first 3 albums.
Love the KISS story! My parents also took me (12yo) and my brother (10yo) to the 1979 Dynasty tour. We also played air guitar on tennis rackets, running around the house, listening to KISS albums. I became a "rock chick" in that moment and ever since. Caught the Testament, Exodus, Death Angel tour and you guys were all fantastic, as usual! 🖤 🤘
Agreed. Those are the bands that have stayed around so long and are still sounding as lethal as ever. A year later since your post, and bands like Sadus, Atrophy, and Exhorder are releasing brutal stuff too.
This is the one I’ve been waiting for since the inception of the vault! My ultimate hero! ROB CAVESTANY!🔥🔥🔥 been a huge fan since 1983 all the bands DA The O Swarm The Past Smoke Stack! I Love This Man! All the tours Ultra to the present! Thanks Zet! By the way the show at the San Jose civic was smokin🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻❤️🔥
Glad to see The Vault pop up today! Thanks for coming on Rob ! You guy's slayed on The Bay Strikes Back show! Those shows were so much fun to watch!! Cheers 🍻 Love The Stieghorst's 👋🖤🦋🖤
What a nice, humble and down to earth guy Rob is, allthough he is a hell of a songwriter and guitar player. A real artist. Death Angel fan since the end of the 80ies. Act III will be forever in my personal thrash of fame. Can't wait to watch the next episodes. Maybe Zet will invite Andy or Dennis in the vault too.
Not sure if you'll see this being that it's a year later from your comment lol, but same!!! Death Angel//Forbidden was my first metal show live, I was 13 going on 14, Allentown Airport Music Hall Allentown Pennsylvania. Act III tour. Changed my whole life. Started going to tons of metal shows, thrash mostly, over those first couple of concert years for me. I ended up being in touring bands myself, this is def where it started for me, as far as going to shows all the time, wanting to create my own music and get up there too. Man, it runs out Death Angel is still actually churning out really good metal records currently! Exodus (my fav band of all time), D.A., Testament, some overkill, are the bands still sounding lethal and creative till this day. Cool to see that bands like Atrophy, Sadus, Exhorder, and some others, are coming back around with solid stuff now too!
Awesome segment and introduction for Rob into the Vault. DEATH-ANGEL still makin' waves all these years later still remember the days when D/A made their way into the 916 and would hang with Sonny & PHALLUCY (back when they were Metal for a minute) shout out to John Halderman on the 4-string MFR! P.S. Horns up to Rob and his sick Jackson signature model. Finally had the opportunity to check one out and it doesn't disappoint. Easily one of the best models Jackson has made in recent years and absolutely honors its price point at the same time.⛧🤘
Great seeing Rob on the Vault. Saw Bay Strikes Back twice last year and met him and he was really cool. I got the hot sauce and we talked about it after the show and Zet said make sure you open and try it. I went through it fast. It was really good. The heat sneaks up on you.
My sister bought me The Ultra Violence Cassette for my 16th birthday in 1987. She had never heard of them(but knew I'd like it based on the cover). Been a fan since... Good work Zet!!!
The Demo: "Produced by Death Angel and Kirk Hammett"!! Cool that they already had the logo by the time of the demo tape. I love that logo! I would like to know the history of how that logo was created.
Killer video!!! Love Death Angel!!! Been a fan since "The Ultra Violence" album!!! Glad they're going strong today and if "The Ripper" Kirk Hammett didn't produce their demo... This band wouldn't exist!!!🎼🎸🤘💯👊🍻🔥🤜🤛
Hope you do an interview with Mark Osegueda, Damien Sisson and any of their former members (including Andy Galeon, Gus Pepa, Dennis Pepa, etc.) in the future. If I recall Rob, Will and Ted are the only members of Death Angel so far to have come in for an interview on The Toxic Vault.
Finally!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The one and only Rob Cavestany! my 2nd all time favorite Guitarist ever!! love this dude!! soo fucking talented yet underrated at the same time he needs to be in the upper echelon of the all time greats!
In a metal-o-sphere in which there must be a "Big Four" of everything, Death Angel, along w/ Testament, Exodus, and of course the mighty Overkill constitute "The Other Big Four", with Death Angel's post reunion output edging out anything Slayer and Metallica released w/in the same time period and comparing favorably to Megadeth's better releases post '04 (the year of The Art of Dying's release). I didn't mention Anthrax because they're my favorite band so I'm hopelessly biased. It's always a pleasure to hear from Rob, who seems like a genuinely nice dude and I can't wait to hear what Death Angel's cooking up for their next album.
I wish Dennis, Gus and Andy would rejoin the band. Doesn't seem the same with Mark and Rob leading a band of hired guns. It almost comes off like a different band really.
17 years when i got the vinyl :Ultraviolence.. 53 today.. Still listen to it.. Fuckin great record!!!!
Best era of heavy music..

Andy Galeon was only 13-14. Youngest drummer ever heard on tape!

Saw Death Angel with Testament in the late 80s at the Channel in Boston Mass. excellent times. Thanks for the post much appreciated.
My boy Rob, went to school and worked at Tower Records with Rob!
Together with Testament, and I guess Overkill, DA is one of the old school bands who to this day delivers consistently good.
Agreed. Those are the bands that have stayed around so long and are still sounding as lethal as ever. A year later since your post, and bands like Sadus, Atrophy, and Exhorder are releasing brutal stuff too.
Great episode!!!! IDK the logistics of this but I would love to be a fly on the wall with a Zetro and Bobby Blitz conversation.
Love Rob! Nice guy and killer guitarist! Kirk Hammett produced Death Angel's demo.

The Bay Area Strikes Back tour was killer. Hope you guys get a chance to tour together again.
MY FAVORITE CUSTOMERS! Him and his wife! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

Great sister!
Right on!!!

I seen them with exodus this year it was a hell of a show very good live
Killer video!!! Love Death Angel!!! Been a fan since "The Ultra Violence" album!!! Glad they're going strong today and if "The Ripper" Kirk Hammett didn't produce their demo... This band wouldn't exist!!!🎼🎸🤘💯👊🍻🔥🤜🤛
Thank you so much Zet for doing this with Rob. Can't wait to see part 2
Like the new production style of utilizing clips. The PINK SECTION! The original way to find out about show happening in the bay area.
God damn it now I gotta wait till Friday
Love love love this! Can’t wait for part 2!
Hell yeah Rob is the man death angel rules!!!! Best shows I've seen
Cool interview
Very cool interview with Rob. Long live Bay Area Metal! \m/ \m/
Death Angel's 'Act III' album is and always has been a top 5 thrash metal record for me. \m/ much respect
Of all the old 80s thrash bands, I like Death Angel's post-2000 releases the best. They sound great and make a lot of great songs.
Hope you do an interview with Mark Osegueda, Damien Sisson and any of their former members (including Andy Galeon, Gus Pepa, Dennis Pepa, etc.) in the future. If I recall Rob, Will and Ted are the only members of Death Angel so far to have come in for an interview on The Toxic Vault.
Plasmatics legendary. RIP W.O.W
🔥
Finally!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The one and only Rob Cavestany! my 2nd all time favorite Guitarist ever!! love this dude!! soo fucking talented yet underrated at the same time he needs to be in the upper echelon of the all time greats!
Rob is the real deal. Songwriter, Player, Performer. I think he is better than a lot of his peers that get all the love. Dude is the ninja of thrash.

Saw em on the Act 3 tour with Forbidden and Realm at St Andrews in Detroit. Sold out show.
Death ☠️ angel was definitely an extreme band name for the time and I would posit that it certainly held them back comercially
Probably a good thing.
Yessssss!!!!!
24:05 - Oh fk yeah! The good ol days.
🤘
Andy my old neighbor growing up lots of fun times pizza and pipes in Serramonte was the hang out with you U. siren
When Kiss actually preformed live 😂
Very underrated band
🤘🏻👍🏻
The Omni
Watching the kiss clip I almost threw up the hemlock bar in SF was the last metal bar. Killing joke I am the virus
NightFlight
Haha
The Plasmatics were Slipknot before slipknot
I want Exodus to cover that song. Whatever it was.
I wish Dennis, Gus and Andy would rejoin the band. Doesn't seem the same with Mark and Rob leading a band of hired guns. It almost comes off like a different band really.
That's so long ago
Where’s Gus Pepa these days?
Pinoy pride!
