DARK ANGEL

Release Year: 2008
Artist Origin: USA
Style: intense extreme speed thrash metal

with majorly improved skills in both songwriting and performing, and the addition of nasty-voiced yet more diverse Ron Rinehart at the mic, the legendary five-piece has written an album [1989] that marks a significant progression and surpasses anything they have done up until that moment, maintaining highly unique identity - twisted, technical and complex in the first place, it is also a maddening and disturbing set of lengthy yet highly intricate songs with frequent tempo changes and detailed arrangements that literally melt the strongest of extreme metal, with a brave rendition of Led Zeppelin Immigrant Song and two instrumentals adding variety to such an energetic set; recent European re-issue comes with four live bonuses from Philadelphia in fall of 1988 and California in spring of 1989
