A thrash metal band hailing from the United States has — after 34 years — finally let new music loose onto the scene.
Now, they’re performing said new music.
Metal Injection reports that Dark Angel — which first formed in Downey, California, in the 1980s — released their latest album “Extinction Level Event” in June. They’ve officially started to perform this new music live, starting with a gig at the Vibes Center in San Antonio, Texas on Friday.
The publication notes that this is Dark Angel’s first new album since their 1991 release of ”Time Does Not Heal.” Afterward, the band went through several break-ups (although they did reform in 2013) as well as the the tragic loss the last original member, Jim Durkin, in 2023.
“I just want to write a kick-ass metal album,” drummer Gene Holgan informed “Rocking With Jam Man” back in May. “So what I’ve tried to do is not go back 35 years or 37 years or whatever, ‘Darkness Descends’ or even ‘We Have Arrived,’ those or early albums, or ‘Leave Scars’ or ‘Times Does Not Heal.’
“I’ve not tried to duplicate anything form any of those albums, but I tried to put myself in the mindset of what if Dark Angel just kept writing albums for the last 30-whatever years, 32, 33 years, where would we be at now? And so that has been my approach on the new Dark Angel material.”
Dark Angel has even more tour dates coming up, including a Sept. 24 stop in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
