Death Angel Bassist Quits

Bassist/founding member Dennis Pepa of Death Angel played his last show with the band on October 28, 2008 at the Grand Ballroom in San Francisco, California.

Dennis Pepa released the following statement regarding his decision to leave the band:
"I've been with Death Angel since its inception in the '80s and believe it is time for me to move on. Throughout my career with the band, I've brought a punk-influenced edge to the Death Angel sound, and as an open-minded musician in need of change, I'd like to diversify and explore other opportunities within and beyond the genre of metal. The Death Angel guys are my family, both literally and figuratively speaking, and I wish them luck on their future endeavors. Many thanks go out to Nuclear Blast Records and the fans, who have extended their support and friendship — I look forward to being involved in new music projects and continuing to connect with all of you."

Now that Pepa has left the band, Death Angel is in need of a new bassist. They issued the following statement about the search:
"As many of you may or may not know, Dennis [Pepa, bass] has departed from the band. We wish him all the best. So now it's time for someone new to join the pack! We are now accepting applications for this position... Do you have what it takes?
