Dark Angel

Formed in Los Angeles in 1983, Dark Angel delivered complex, aggressive thrash metal and was known for the albums "Darkness Descends" and "Time Does Not Heal." The band, which included notable members like Gene Hoglan and worked with Combat Records, never broke the mainstream but was influential in the metal underground. After several lineup changes, they disbanded in the early '90s but left a lasting impact with records like "Leave Scars" and the live album "Live Scars." Guitarist Jim Durkin passed away in 2023.
