Band biography

Dark Angel was one of the very first and most successful American thrash metal band in the 80's and early 90's. The band was formed in 1981 in Los Angeles by three guys a the Downey High School and went through a number of line-up changes before being able to hold a steady line-up. They recorded some demos and then a number of albums before finally breaking up in 1992. In 2002 the band reformed with a new line-up and are working on new material.
