Blood Of Angels is a melodic death metal band from Tampa, Florida, formed by Randy Reyes on vocals and acoustic guitar, Aaron Robinson on guitar, The Maggot on bass and background vocals, and Jonathan Rushford on drums and keyboards. Their discography includes the 2017 EP "Rise Of The Fallen Gods", the 2019 single "Miscreant Deeds Of Loki", and the 2020 full length "Failure Of Faith" through Sliptrick Records.
In 2025, the band also took its live set across Poland, Hungary, Austria, Romania, and Bulgaria. Their music draws from melodic death metal, death metal, black metal, thrash, and other extreme metal influences, with mortality and darker emotional subjects appearing repeatedly in their material. "Les Angst Ov Thanatou" continues that direction through a concept centered on death, fear, suffering, loss, and existential anxiety.
"Les Angst Ov Thanatou" lasts around 40 minutes and was produced by Blood Of Angels and Bob Noxious, recorded at Underground Studios in Tampa, mixed by Preston DiCarlo at Mastersound Studios, and mastered at Sound Lab in New York City. The album combines aggressive guitar work, heavy rhythmic sections, atmospheric keyboard layers, and expressive vocals, creating a melodic death metal approach with several darker shades. Musically, Blood Of Angels uses enough variation to prevent the material from becoming one continuous block, although some ideas would benefit from more refinement and stronger transitions.
The production gives the guitars and vocals a prominent position, while the keyboards add another layer to the darker parts of the album. There is ambition here, although the songwriting occasionally reaches for more than the compositions can fully support. "Les Angst Ov Thanatou" might come with interesting ideas, uneven results, and enough substance to merit attention from listeners who prefer darker material.
