Dark Angel EXTINCTION LEVEL EVENT NORTH AMERICA 2025
Advertisement
General Admission Standing Room with Limited Seating
With stacked support from Vio-lence, Sacred Reich, Hirax, Midnight, and Interceptor!!!
There was a time in the mid-‘80s when “thrash” was the fastest, heaviest, most extreme form of metal. That said, a handful of bands thrashed a little harder and with more feral abandon than their peers. Those chosen few inadvertently led the genre towards an even more brutal style of music that gained underground acceptance a few years later – death metal.
Before that critical point in time, however, ultra-thrash band Dark Angel stood on the precipice of devastation and innovation. Too fast and noisy for some, jawdropping and groundbreaking for others, Dark Angel led a prickly, poisonous path beyond the evil riffs and whirlwind rhythms pioneered by Slayer. And Dark Angel drummer and songwriter Gene Hoglan was right there at the center of the storm (even coaching Slayer’s Dave Lombardo how to play double-bass beats for the breakthrough EP Haunting the Chapel).
