More no holds barred Bay Area thrash from the blazing youth, plus a mint cover of Kiss classic 'Cold Gin', Death Angel finally giving it the edge it deserves, but 'Frolic...' is much more, a mature, complex and buzzing thrash record of aggressive, punk-tinged metal spliced by classic speedcore and that formidable San Francisco crunch, 'Third Floor' and skater anthem 'Bored' raise the roof, no let up here, furious and slamming riffage, angry vocals, and dynamics that much of the Bay Area scene had forgotten all about in the name of mediocrity.There's a hidden groove here, which would become more apparent on the bands next record, 'Frolic...' simply chooses to go full throttle in the speed stakes but has such an element of coolness, making Death Angel on of the finest thrash acts.
8/10
