Death Angel return to Australia in January and February 2027 to play Act III from start to finish. Hardline Media promote it, and it is the band's first visit to the country in close to ten years.

Playing that record in full is the whole proposition. Act III came out in 1990, it is the last album the original line up made before the crash that stopped the band for a decade, and it is the one most people mean when they argue for Death Angel as the best of thrash's second wave rather than a footnote to it.

A set of older material comes with it, which in practice means the two albums before, so the night is the band's eighties and the turn of the nineties and nothing after.

No venues or individual dates have been published yet beyond the two months. Hardline have not said how many shows there will be.
