Summary

Today my old friend Rob Cavestany stops by Let There Be Talk to reminisce about the history of Death Angel.

I have decided to dedicate the month of January to Bay Area Thrash Metal and what better way to kick it off than with one of the Kings of Thrash Mr Rob Cavestany.

Recently Death Angel was Nominated for a Grammy for their new record Humanicide. This is their first Nomination in the 38 year history of the band.

Rob and I have been friends for over 35 years so we dive way deep into some old Bay Area stories.

Tune in and keep the Candles Lit.

0:00.0	All right, how are you guys? It is January 7th, the Monday. Welcome to another episode of Let
0:08.1	The Be Talk. It is episode number 510 and is starting off my January tribute to Thrash
0:16.5	Medal. I decided why I was in San Francisco over the New Year's Eve that I would pay,
0:25.5	what is that? Pay homage to one of the greatest influences and musical bodies of work,
0:36.2	musical bodies of work, whatever the fuck that means. I want to talk about something
0:43.5	that is a big, big part of my life and that is Thrash Medal and what better way to do it than
0:49.6	have some of the pioneers of Thrash Medal on. And today, my first guest for the Thrash Medal
0:59.2	January is none other than Grammy-nominated lead guitar, songwriter, riffmaster, Rob
1:08.3	Cavastani of Death Angel. I've been trying to get this guy on for a long time and he's been busy
1:16.0	and I've been busy and the planet's aligned and I want to thank him right out of the gate because
1:22.2	he came over on New Year's Eve, like around four o'clock before I went and saw a dead enco. He drove
1:31.6	over from Oakland to do the podcast and I wasn't even thinking it's New Year's Eve, what a nightmare.
1:37.6	And I cannot thank him enough for doing this, especially just coming home from a five and a half week
1:44.0	tour around America supporting their brand new record, which is absolutely a smoker and you should
1:52.0	all have it. I can't even tell you right now. Get it. If you want to hear some old school metal,
2:01.8	you're going to want to dive in to the brand new one, Humanicide. And man, what a great, great way
2:11.2	to start 2020 with a little theme here of Thrasch Metal January and I've got some great guests coming up
2:18.9	and I hope you guys enjoy this. Even if you're not into Thrasch Metal, you have to hear the history
2:26.3	of this music. It is monumental to say the least. We're talking about a genre of music that
2:36.4	has created basically or the creators basically are all still around Metallica, Testament legacy,
2:45.6	Exodus, Slayer, Death Angel, Possessed. I mean, it's just anthrax. It's unreal.
2:57.5	So, and also I think that people throw around the word underrated and I've done it before where you're
