And although, care many of their peers, the band's attract would never actually stretch beyond the metallic element tube, their recorded bequest has stood the test of time much better than the bulk of their '80s toss metal peers. Formed in Los Angeles in 1983, Dark Angel went through multitudinous incarnations earlier subsidence on a pretty unchanging lineup featuring vocalist Don Doty, guitarists Eric Meyer and Jim Durkin, bassist Rob Yahn, and drummer Jack Schwartz. After having ane of their demos, "Welcome to the Slaughterhouse," chosen for inclusion on Brian Slagel's Metal Massacre IV assemblage in 1985, the grouping proceeded to gather their unexpended demonstration tapes into a primitive, merely enthusiastic first album called We Have Arrived, released later that year. New drummer Gene Hoglan united the dance band in time to be portrayed on the album arm, merely made his carrying into action debut on 1986's much improved Darkness Descends, released by thrash metal-friendly Combat Records, and commonly viewed by fans as the band's true arrival. Bassist Yahn would deviate shortly after the album's tone ending (replaced by Mike Gonzalez), soon to be followed by original vocalist Doty at tour's end. Shy about their next step, the Dark Angel undertook a long hiatus before resurfacing with drummer Hoglan securely entrenched as the band's major creative force out. After drafting new vocalist Ron Rinehart, the band recorded 1989's Allow for Scars -- the number 1 of 2 albums which earned them the unbelievable label of progressive lam, due to the longer, more composite songs the band had begun composing. Recorded in April 1989 and released by and by that year, Live Scars introduced novel six-stringer Brett Eriksen, world Health Organization had latterly replaced Durkin, and documented the group's fierce live energy Department. Another elongated break away ensued before the recording of what is arguably their finest effort, 1991's Time Does Not Heal. Hailed by critics for the cobwebby originative scope of its challenging songwriting, the album was considered the last scripture on technical thrash metal, only arrived at the end of jactitate metal's time in the glare and sold sickly. The deviation of Rinehart soon thenceforth convinced Hoglan to detachment the band, and he eventually joined Florida's Death and contributed to some of their finest albums. Relativity Records issued a collection of Dark Angel's finest moments, Decade of Chaos in 1992. |
