Rob<\/strong>\u00a0contacted me early on about doing this cover,\u201d explains\u00a0White<\/strong>. \u201cHe wanted a continuation of the work we did on\u00a0Relentless Retribution<\/em>. Kind of a complimentary piece that featured the wolf in sheep\u2019s \u00a0clothing again, only this time in some sort of frozen environment. I love it, I guess he’s come to be known as \u2018Wolfie\u2019. Perfect! As the concepts for the album grew, so did the details and various elements for the album cover. For example, It started as a single lone wolf, though\u00a0Rob<\/strong>\u00a0thought it important to add his pack. I guess they’re somewhat symbolic of the band. The wolves look like they’ve come a long ways, I can relate. I don’t want to try to dictate the meaning of the cover art. Suffice to say the main elements depicted in the piece are representational of the core thoughts and themes\u00a0Rob<\/strong>\u00a0poured into the album. Solar eclipse, lunar mirage, lighting from the coming storm, the killing field , blood, death, decay…those things. Though at times this one was a struggle (thanks for your patience with me\u00a0DA<\/strong>,\u00a0VJ<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0NB<\/strong>!) the album title actually pushed it to where it needed to be. I love the title, a perfect representation of the lyrics and\u00a0DEATH ANGEL<\/strong>\u00a0in general.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\u201c<\/em>Once again my metal brothers have put out an album that truly captures their live energy and originality as a band,\u201d commented\u00a0Suecof<\/strong>.\u00a0\u201cDEATH ANGEL<\/strong>\u00a0has not only maintained their classic thrash element, but they’ve taken every aspect of what they can do as musicians to the next level – writing, playing and maintaining an intense vibe throughout all the tracks! I believe this is an album that will stand the test of time – not just for\u00a0DEATH ANGEL<\/strong>\u00a0fans, but for fans of all genres of metal. Enjoy!\u201d<\/p>\n

Added guitarist\u00a0Rob Cavestany: “The Dream Calls for Blood<\/em>\u00a0<\/strong>is the wicked stepsister to our last album,\u00a0Relentless Retribution<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0– but even more cruel and sinister than her!\u00a0It’s the first time we connected two records – created and produced by the same team in the same studio as \u2018RR\u2019, yet this release is more furious… probably because so much of it was written on the road.\u00a0Brent\u00a0<\/strong>did an amazing job with the cover art, again capturing the natural brutality of the hunted becoming the hunter… as territorial instinct turns into bloodlust! Down to the last detail, his art depicts a visual that matches our music and lyrics – making a complete package that we are so proud of! Can’t wait for you all to hear, see and feel it. \u00a0Now we prepare to bring it live!\u201c<\/p>\n
