Bio:
Angel Dust (originally Angeldust) was a German heavy metal band. Initially active from 1984 to 1990 as speed and thrash metal band, they dropped their thrash roots in favor of a power/progressive metal sound upon reforming in 1998.Angel Dust formed in Dortmund, Germany in 1984 as a typical garage band. They took their name from a song title off English black metal band Venom's debut album Welcome To Hell. The band's musical style was initially heavily influenced by the New Wave of British Heavy Metal and Bay Area thrash metal scenes. They soon found their niche in the speed and thrash metal styles, which were widely popular at the time. The band released their debut studio album, Into the Dark Past, in 1986, and followed it up with To Dust You Will Decay, released in 1988. The band broke up in 1990 due to internal conflicts.Although all members had gone their separate ways, founding member Frank Banx had no desire to let the Angel Dust name die. In 1998, Banx, and original drummer Dirk Assmuth, gathered a completely new lineup (including Frank Banx' younger brother Steven Banx on keyboards) to start from scratch. This reincarnation would handle music differently, shifting dramatically towards progressive metal, and would consequently gain a solid reputation in Europe.After releasing a few successful albums in the late 1990s and early 2000s, a series of line-up changes significantly reduced the band's activities. However, Angel Dust are still active, and have "enter[ed] the studio [in March of 2006] to record the long awaited successor from Of Human Bondage."The band's first two albums are now rare metal collectibles. They were reissued unofficially in very limited quantities in late 2002-2003, with no label or copyright info and with two bonus tracks each.
Album:
You might have missed the eighties for whatever reason? No Remorse Records can help you since the label provides you with some metal stuff out of this great period.The newst re-releases of the label are the first two longplayers of German speed metal band Angel Dust. It have been the days of the first German speed/thrash wave when bands like Kreator, Sodom, Paradox, Deathrow and Helloween started their career. Some lasted longer and some less long. Next to the mentioned band also Dortmund, Germany-based Angel Dust belongs to this generation.Maybe you are familiar with the newer releases of the band, like the excellent "Bleed" album. Nowadays the sound of the quintet is more power metal with a certain progressive touch, but the early days, before the hiatus, have been wild and rough.The first two album, "Into the Dark Past" and "To Dust You Will Decay", are classics of German speed metal with some thrash attacks."Into the Dark Past" was the debut and the guys played hard and fast. The big benefit of this longplayer is the unleashed wildness that you can find back in each of the songs. Angel Dust shows already at this early stage some more complexity in their songwriting, but in the end it's a record that doesn't take prisoners.While listening to "Into the Dark Past" again I wonder, why it hasn't got more attention in the eighties. Maybe there have been too many releases with the same kind of music in this time, maybe there have been other reasons. However, great that No Remorse reissues this classic of German thrash metal and finally you get this great longplayer for a fair price. Good stuff.
