Death Angel "The Ultra-Violence"

The Ultra-Violence is the debut studio album by the Bay Area thrash band Death Angel, released in 1987. The album was recorded while all members were under 20, with drummer Andy Galeon just 14 years old. A snippet of the title track "The Ultra Violence" can be heard on a Carl's Jr. commercial for their Jalapeño Turkey Burger.

The title could be a reference to Stanley Kubrick's movie A Clockwork Orange.

Mark Osegueda claimed in a 2003 interview that "I.P.F.S." stood for "Intense Puke Feeling Syndrome," but it is unclear if this was meant to be taken seriously.

Released by Restless Records in Canada.

A video was made for "Voracious Souls".

Two re-issues are circulating , one has the "Kill as One" demo as bonus, the other has the "Heavy Metal Insanity" demo as bonus. The latter is a bootleg.
