"started writing in the very, very early stages" for their new album, but indicated that its release could be pushed back to 2023, due to the COVID pandemic and their tour schedule for 2022. They began recording demos for the album in March 2022. On October 9, 2020, without prior announcement Death Angel released the digital EP Under Pressure. Unlike previous releases, it is almost entirely acoustic. It contains a cover of the Queen song "Under Pressure", one new original song "Faded Remains", and remakes of the tracks "A Room with a View" from Act III and "Revelation Song" from Humanicide. The band released a new live album on November 26, 2021, titled The Bastard Tracks, which was recorded at the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco on May 22 where Death Angel played tracks that had rarely or never before been played live. Death Angel resumed touring in the spring of 2022 by supporting Testament and Exodus on the North American leg of The Bay Strikes Back tour, which was initially set to take place in October and November 2021 but the COVID pandemic caused the tour to be rescheduled for another six months. The band toured with Testament and Exodus again in Europe during the summer of 2022, and then in North America in the fall as part of the Bay Strikes Back tour.
