One of the most under appreciated and under rated bands EVER. These guys dont get the recognition for their pure talent, execution, and pure energy they always produced. These guys deserve to be on the same level as Slayer, Exodus, Testament, Sodom, Nuclear Assault and that group. Amazing how many people dont know this band, a true shame.
Man, can't believe I never got to see them live. And they even opened with my favorite DA song, "Death of Innocence". And seeing those Jackson Rhoads guitars makes me wish I still had mine. Might have to pick up another for old times sake.
Truly one of the best trash bands I listened to, still listening to it in the car, and I must say they given a very good example how to play trash music at the best
Thanks for posting this FKN sick vid dude!!! Ive been a fan for many years and have Darkness Decends and Leave Scars but I have never seen a live vid of them. Cheers!!
Fucking life altering! I was blessed to witness the 80's metal years. So many awesome memories. This makes me want to drink and punch something. Gonna have to buy a case, get trashed, play all my old cassette tapes and re-live the days......Exciter,Dark Angel, Hallow's Eve, Helloween, Laaz Rockit, Exodus, Running Wild, Kreator, Piledriver, Onslaught, Nuclear Assault, Overkill....ahhhh the list goes on and on. Stay Metal!
"internal combustion plutonic rage the bodies create their own hell" Dark Angel was brilliant. Too bad they were so underrated... Must have seen them 10 times in and around Los Angeles back in the day. I know Darkness Descends was a song about the 4 Dark Judges in Judge Dredd. but it definitely fits the clusterfuck in Iraq much better.
I actually hanged around with these guys back in 88 thru 90 at the rehearsal studios in the city of Vernon, suburb of Los Angeles. Gene Hoglan was a really nice friendly person and the best fucking drummer. Armored Saint and Megadeth rehearsed there too, but Dark Fucking Angel was the best.
I had this video from the Troc in Philly. It had Dark Angel,Death, and Forbidden. All the bands on that vid were impressive. This footage is from that vid.
"Controversy creates interest", you're certainly right about that... Almost out of questions: What exactly was the reason behind the song "Worms"? I mean I like/love Leave scars, but that one song just doens't belong.... In the end Ron, Eric and Gene joined other bands right?, leaving brett and you, there was no trying to get other people for Dark Angel?
On the Dreams of Damnation site, it shows Jim hanging out with Don, his kids and Rob Yahn in Don's living room. They may not be best friends, but there is respect. I doubt that Gene would hold a grudge, not sure about Eric but again Don left 20 years ago!
I added Nuclear Assault because when that name is mentioned more often than not theyre known where as Dark Angel is brutally unknown even to the old school thrashers. At least the ones I know personally.
are you saying that jim, eric and gene are friends with don, if thats right, then I think you're wrong. In an interview with jim he said that he doesnt know what don is doing or where he is or whatever... But this interview is some years old, i think 1998 or 1999 or somethin like that
@MetalWarrior95 Consider the fact that the first metal bands had long hair and were headbangers, i`d say it was a part of it, although i don`t have long hair, i consider myself very metal. True, metal doesn`t NEED hair, but it helps, atleast i feel that.
Where was this filmed? I hear the singer say something about Philadelphia, there's no way it sounds this good if it was filmed in the electric factory. I don't recognize the venue though. Faster and heavier than Slayer ever was!
Yeah right, and im james hetfield.... If you're Mike, then i have questions: Why did Jim Durkin leave? What did you do after Dark Angel? Why didnt you joined them again in 2002?
gotta remember Alice in Chains was a different animal back in 1991. They were more metal, and not so mainstream grunge yet. "We Die Young" is a bad ass tune. Testament is my fav. Why not have all 4? Now that is a pants-shitting, head-splitting event right there!
Actually Ron hurt his neck, which pretty much killed the reunion. Of course I think they could get a new vocalist like Exodus did and it would rule all hell!!! Why aren't the Ultimate Revenge videos on DVD?
@burningempire666 You got it! First Ultimate Revenge had Slayer, Exodus, and Venom! Fortunately, I, STILL, have my VHS copies of Ultimate Revenge and Ultimate Revenge 2! I just Dark Angel were opening for Slayer and Megadeth-instead of Testament. In my opinion, if they WERE-the Carnage tour would (EASILY) "edge" out the Clash of The Titans tour! Especially when the Clash...tour had, of ALL bands, Alice In Chains (??) opening.

Darkness Descends...what a brilliant album! Fantastic thrash and intelligent songs
One of the most underated metal bands ever.
Great! King Gene rules!!!!
What would i give to hear the Dark Angel albums newly recorded with a good sound and a good singer...
Thank you very much for posting this! Dark Angel were one of my favorite hyper-speed band sback in the day! Hoglan is the man!
Man, can't believe I never got to see them live. And they even opened with my favorite DA song, "Death of Innocence". And seeing those Jackson Rhoads guitars makes me wish I still had mine. Might have to pick up another for old times sake.
Dark Angel is the best thrash-metal band ever!!!
I've been looking for Pipeline and Imagrant song from these guys for forever. that version of Imigrant song is by far the best I've ever heard.
MY FAVOURITE THRASH BAND!
in this moment the best rock drummer
Dark Angel is one of the finest thrash bands.
levis, sleeveless shirts, jackson flying v guitars, this is real metal. great songs. anyone find a video for time does not heal or leave scars?
Dark Angel always!!!
most underrated metal band ever.
Slayer is amazing and always has been
Truly one of the best trash bands I listened to, still listening to it in the car, and I must say they given a very good example how to play trash music at the best
Thanks for posting this FKN sick vid dude!!! Ive been a fan for many years and have Darkness Decends and Leave Scars but I have never seen a live vid of them. Cheers!!
Massive respect and gratitude for uploading this fucking awesome Metal band.
The most underrated metal band of the 80's and they had the best drummer in metal Gene "the atomic clock" Hoglan
Everytime I'm online and I want some thrash hit I come to this video on youtube... the real deal!
Nikes..... Everywhere
Fucking life altering!
I was blessed to witness the 80's metal years. So many awesome memories. This makes me want to drink and punch something.

No bullshit. That's why Dark Angel and real heavy metal is the best. Thanks zuchtschwein for the post.
man!! thanx for the post!!
REAL THRASH RULEEEEEES!!!
IM SEEING THESE GUYS LIVE tonight=)
dark angel é foda
Oh my god.
Animals. That's some serious live power.
@SixStringedSavior since when did album length dictate quality? oh yeah thats right NEVER
I WORSHIP TWO ANGELS! ONE DARK AND ONE MORBID \m/ hails
I'm new to DA so could someone please tell me the name of this song?
@raveneros
it is a medley darkness descends/death of innocence
should be mandatory viewing
super awesom y re aspero
Why did they have to tune down!
Gene was SUPERB!
AMAZING! I've been looking for Dark Fucking Angel footage forever.
what's the info of this show?? (date, place, setlist etc)
"internal combustion
plutonic rage
the bodies create their own hell"
Dark Angel was brilliant. Too bad they were so underrated... Must have seen them 10 times in and around Los Angeles back in the day. I know Darkness Descends was a song about the 4 Dark Judges in Judge Dredd. but it definitely fits the clusterfuck in Iraq much better.
Amen to that.
whats the setlist for this concert??
The first song is Darkness Descends/ The death of Innocence.
I actually hanged around with these guys back in 88 thru 90 at the rehearsal studios in the city of Vernon, suburb of Los Angeles. Gene Hoglan was a really nice friendly person and the best fucking drummer. Armored Saint and Megadeth rehearsed there too, but Dark Fucking Angel was the best.
was this after ou before "" Time does not heal "" ?
Is than with Ron or Doty?
I had this video from the Troc in Philly. It had Dark Angel,Death, and Forbidden. All the bands on that vid were impressive. This footage is from that vid.
This is why i love youtube...
I listen to Slayer cause of the music and lyrics.
11 people dont know what real music is
The song called: The Darkness Descends
Qué poder!
Darkness Descends!
or better yet BUY the album
Theres a special edition with a black cover and an unorthodox box shape it's pretty cool
All that's water under the bridge now. Jim Durkin, Eric Meyer and Gene Hoglan are friends with and respect Don.
"Harbinger of Doom" is the name of the intro to Darkness Descends, it wasn't printed on the first pressing of the album and they never corrected it.
One real thrash metal band
"Controversy creates interest", you're certainly right about that...
Almost out of questions:
What exactly was the reason behind the song "Worms"?
I mean I like/love Leave scars, but that one song just doens't belong....
In the end Ron, Eric and Gene joined other bands right?, leaving brett and you, there was no trying to get other people for Dark Angel?
its my fav song by sepultura
On the Dreams of Damnation site, it shows Jim hanging out with Don, his kids and Rob Yahn in Don's living room. They may not be best friends, but there is respect. I doubt that Gene would hold a grudge, not sure about Eric but again Don left 20 years ago!
Gene is a machine on the drums \m/
Long live Eric Meyer, Long live Dark FUCKING Angel!!!
it's ron
this kicks ass!!!!
YEAHHH THRASHERS MANIACS!!!
@TheBigglenn311 WTF? Dark angel have reformed?
Dark Angel's sound is pure rape.cant describe their music different.
Long Live True Metal.
@taylerwarren you're right!
"Darkness Descends"
I added Nuclear Assault because when that name is mentioned more often than not theyre known where as Dark Angel is brutally unknown even to the old school thrashers. At least the ones I know personally.
They're starting with the beginning of Darkness Descends and then switching over to the Death of Innocence
@MapachewithSniper I agree or CAN'T argue THAT! I just wish THEY were opening for Slayer and Megadeth-instead of Testament!
OH
GOD
"Darkeness Descends"
Gene the machine FTW
i was there ULTIMATE revenge opening band ALTAR!!!!
I might have to go with Tortured Existence instead of Epidemic of Violence, but that album rules too.
are you saying that jim, eric and gene are friends with don, if thats right, then I think you're wrong.
In an interview with jim he said that he doesnt know what don is doing or where he is or whatever...
But this interview is some years old, i think 1998 or 1999 or somethin like that
these guys are fucking sick whats the first song
its fucking badass
Yeah that's definitely one of them.
@MetalWarrior95
Consider the fact that the first metal bands had long hair and were headbangers, i`d say it was a part of it, although i don`t have long hair, i consider myself very metal.
True, metal doesn`t NEED hair, but it helps, atleast i feel that.
Where was this filmed? I hear the singer say something about Philadelphia, there's no way it sounds this good if it was filmed in the electric factory. I don't recognize the venue though. Faster and heavier than Slayer ever was!
Yeah right, and im james hetfield....
If you're Mike, then i have questions:
Why did Jim Durkin leave?
What did you do after Dark Angel?
Why didnt you joined them again in 2002?
Jesus, this is fucking intense! Nothing like it today...
gotta remember Alice in Chains was a different animal back in 1991. They were more metal, and not so mainstream grunge yet. "We Die Young" is a bad ass tune. Testament is my fav. Why not have all 4? Now that is a pants-shitting, head-splitting event right there!
Super Dark Angel
Super Gene Hoglan
i love that fucking riff man!
this was 1989, Time is 1991
Slayer kick ass, I'm sure everyone here can agree to that, but these guys were so fucking underrated, it's a crime. : (
Actually Ron hurt his neck, which pretty much killed the reunion. Of course I think they could get a new vocalist like Exodus did and it would rule all hell!!! Why aren't the Ultimate Revenge videos on DVD?
THE CITY IS GUILTY
THE CRIME IS LIFE
THE SENTENCE IS DEATH
DARKNESS DESCENDS!!!!!! lml
No he became born again, got a job, a family and is enjoying his life.
ultimate revenge 2 actually, i think the first ultimate revenge was Slayer and a few other bands, back in like 1984
OMG-Dark Angel=Uber intensity.
First song is Death of Innocence
Fuck yeah. Dark FUCKING Angel.
@goldenlarry The hair is more or less part of metal :)
gene hoglan is amazing...
@Vomitore and old emg's.
@burningempire666 You got it! First Ultimate Revenge had Slayer, Exodus, and Venom! Fortunately, I, STILL, have my VHS copies of Ultimate Revenge and Ultimate Revenge 2! I just Dark Angel were opening for Slayer and Megadeth-instead of Testament. In my opinion, if they WERE-the Carnage tour would (EASILY) "edge" out the Clash of The Titans tour!
