San Francisco, California-based heavy metal band Trauma have filmed a music video for the track \u2018Death Of The Angel\u2019. Directed by Mike Sloat, the clip can be viewed below. <\/p>\n

Regarding the song, the band stated: \u201cThis song is heavily influenced by serial killers in general, and Ted Bundy in particular. It\u2019s written from Ted\u2019s point of view, and highlights some of his real atrocities. The end of the song has a beautiful melody that you could be singing about flowers and rainbows, but the actual lyrics make it exceptionally brutal.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trauma issue fourth full-length studio album Awakening<\/em> on September 9th, 2022 through Massacre Records.<\/p>\n

Awakening<\/em> is the first Trauma album to feature vocalist Brian Allen. The former Vicious Rumors frontman replaced founding member Don Hillier, who passed away on September 28th, 2020.<\/p>\n

The outing was produced, mixed and mastered by Juan Urteaga at Trident Studios in Pacheco, California.<\/p>\n

Cover artwork was created by Ioannis \/ Dangerous Age.<\/p>\n
