These guys are also great musicians, they play with intensity, their riffs are very heavy, they are also sometimes complexive and a bit technical but the riffs in general are ultra-fast. We move on to the two guitarists of this brutal band, Erik Meyer and Jim Durkin (which is a current member of ¨Dreams Of Damnation¨, an american death metal band). What more can I say, he is great in this type of music but of course there are people around that this is just noise, but very great noise if you ask me. Don sings with attitude, the vocals are aggressive, quite brutal because of the harsh growlings that he makes and of course on top of that some short bursts of short screams. We start with the vocalist Don Doty,the first vocalist of the band, great singing for this type of music I must say. And now when you have read the intro its time to have a closer look at the band members and the songs.

The members in ¨Dark Angel¨ didn't have so many aces in their arm-sleeves but they knew how to play them well, the album ¨Darkness Descends¨ is considered to be one of Thrash metals most extreme and heaviest along with other extreme thrash bands such as legendary ¨Slayer¨ for example. ¨Dark Angel¨ made this remarkable thrash album and this album has been claimed to be a minor thrash metal classic. I recommend this album to fans of thrash, and fans of heavy fucking metal in general.Be prepared when you are about to listen to this album because this album will deliver thrash metal so hard that you will fall backwards. This may not be the best thrash album ever, but it comes d amn close. I knew there may never be an album quite like this (in terms of intensity) ever again, and so far there hasn't been, save for Torture Squad's "Pandemonium". The only part of this album I hated was when it ended. I'm tempted to say the chorus lines again. Maintaining the same speed throughout, and featuring some of the greatest riffs DFA have ever written. The album then closes with GODSOFWARHAVEGONEINSANE! YOU'VE PLAYED WITH FIRE, YOU'RE TO BLAME! The demons from the darkest pits of hell keep raging.

This song is chock full of riff changes, so it is in no part boring. This song also features this album's only melodic section, which is part of the solo, and it still manages to sound evil.īlack Prophecies is next, and is the longest song on the album clocking in at about 8:34. Sir Hoglan introduces us to this one with his almighty drumkit of death, and then the guitar barrage commences. *giant minotaur appears out of nowhere, grabs our hero, and rips him into four equal pieces* We find our hero now trapped in a cave and he finds himself. Another insane thrasher to add to the cauldron.ĭarkness Descends, Chapter 5: Death Is Certain (Life Is Not) The "We Have Arrived" take was excellent, but DFA take it and crank that mother up to 15. Up next is the faster, heavier, meaner version of Merciless Death. I'm left to roam, paralysis now my only home." "The silence deafens all the unheard screams, the darkness rips away all the unseen dreams, numbmess shrouds my soul. The lyrics also feature some morbid use of poetry: The riffs are just crushing in this song. Next is HUNGER! OF THE UNDEAD! What can I say. Necrophobic wishes he was this good of song. The Burning of Sodom comes in and skull fucks you at a pummeling 285 BEATS PER MINUTE. Need a break from all that headbanging? Too bad. Then, five whole minutes of total thrashing holocaust. The eerie intro to the title track gives you a warning of what is to come. Yes ladies and gentlemen, Darkness Descends is that album.įrom start to finish, this album just keeps you adrenalized (Is there such a word?) and beaten. It would grab you by the balls, beat you over the head with a brick, throw you against a wall and command you to headbang, or else. But there was one band that just came out of nowhere and made an album that would annihilate small third world countries when cranked to just 2. Everyone was playing fast, everyone was playing loud. A year where everyday there seemed to be a new thrash band in the neighborhood.
