The Organization

History

The Organization was an alternative metal band formed by the remaining four members of San Francisco's Bay Area thrash metal titans Death Angel - guitarist/vocalist Rob Cavestany, guitarist Gus Pepa, bassist Dennis Pepa, and drummer Andy Galeon - following the departure of DA singer Mark Osegueda in 1991.

Looking to survive the commercial death of thrash by pursuing a more traditional heavy metal/hard rock sound. The debut demo tape 'Home Job' in 1992, and 'The O' tape came out the same year.

After the demos, The Organization issued two independent albums through Metal Blade: On November 23th, 1993 the self-titled debut album came out, and the second album 'Savor the Flavor' on May 9th, 1995.

The band disbanded in 1995, before Cavestany and Galeon formed Swarm with Osegueda. In 2001 Death Angel reformed without Gus Pepa.
