Frolic Through the Park
Frolic Through the Park is the second studio album by Death Angel, the American thrash metal band. It came out in July 1988 on Enigma, following their debut, The Ultra-Violence, from the year before.
It also turned out to be their last full-length record for Enigma, as the band signed to Geffen in 1989 and went on to make Act III. That places it at a turning point in their story, between the early independent-label years and the major-label move. It is regarded as an essential thrash metal release, which makes it a sensible next stop for anyone who has worked through the debut and wants to hear where the band went next.
