DEATH ANGEL (1982)

Thrash metal band Death Angel originally formed in 1982 when the members were just teenagers, with some of them being as young as 14 years old. The band's founding members include cousins Rob Cavestany (guitar) and Dennis Pepa (bass), and their friends Andy Galeon (drums), Gus Pepa (guitar), and Mark Osegueda (vocals). This youthful formation contributed to their early, raw energy and aggression, which became a defining characteristic of their early music.

Despite their young age, Death Angel managed to make a name for themselves in the San Francisco Bay Area thrash metal scene, and they eventually released their debut album, "The Ultra-Violence," in 1987, which garnered significant attention in the underground metal scene. Over the years, they have continued to be a notable presence in the thrash metal genre, and their early beginnings as teenagers with a passion for music make their journey in the music industry even more remarkable.
