Death Angel are Bay Area thrash metal legends who helped define the genre in the mid-1980s alongside Metallica, Slayer, and Exodus. Their 1987 debut The Ultra-Violence remains a thrash masterpiece, and the band's ongoing second act — beginning with their 2004 reunion — has produced a string of ferocious, technically demanding albums that stand alongside their classic work. Death Angel live is a full-throttle assault.

The Act III Tour brings support from fellow Bay Area thrashers Vio-Lence, whose own reunion has been a major moment for fans of classic thrash, plus Phoenix's Incite rounding out the bill. This is a night built for anyone who wants their metal raw, fast, and uncompromising. Act III Tour

Doors at 6:30 PM, show at 7:30 PM. 18+. Death Angel performs at The Orange Peel, 101 Biltmore Ave, Downtown Asheville NC. A landmark night of thrash metal and concerts in Asheville.

The Orange Peel is Downtown Asheville's premier live music venue and concert hall, booking national touring acts across rock, hip-hop, indie, electronic, and beyond at 101 Biltmore Ave. With one of the best sound systems of any mid-size venue in the Southeast, the 1,000-capacity room keeps you close to the stage without the chaos of a larger arena. Downstairs, Pulp lounge streams the main stage live for a more relaxed alternative.

The sound at The Orange Peel is genuinely exceptional for a venue this size — you can hear every instrument clearly even on a packed Saturday night. It's the kind of room where you actually want to show up early and stay late. Seen everything from sold-out indie rock nights to hip-hop headliners here and it never disappoints.
