Архив новостей | Русская версия
Reunited California thrashers DARK ANGEL will perform their legendary album "Darkness Descends" in its entirety at a special concert on Friday, April 14 at the Teragram Ballroom in Los Angeles, California. Support at the show will come from fellow thrash metal veterans EVILDEAD.
Last fall, DARK ANGEL drummer Gene Hoglan spoke to the "Poppitt's Corner" podcast about the band's plans for new music. He said: "We've been playing a lot of live shows, and we tend to play festivals 'cause that just kind of works out the best. We're writing the next album, and I've been concentrating on writing that, and [DARK ANGEL guitarist] Jim Durkin is also writing. At the moment, Jim, he's had to take a little bit time off from some live shows, but that was always kind of built into our system. 'Cause when we got ourselves back together, he was, like, 'Hey, guys, just so you know, there's gonna be some times somewhere in the future where I might not be able to make certain shows, or there could an entire run that I might not be able to make. As long as you guys are cool moving forward with it. And we were able to get a good eight years with Jim, at least. So there you go."
He added: "We're just writing, and we're just trying to make it the most aggressive DARK ANGEL music that we can make."
Last August, Hoglan told Oxygène Radio's "Metal Zone" that he and his bandmates were hoping to have a new DARK ANGEL album out "by the middle part of 2023."
DARK ANGEL's first CD since 1991's "Time Does Not Heal" will feature the lineup that has performed sporadic live shows since reuniting in 2013: Hoglan, Durkin, Eric Meyer (guitar),Ron Rinehart (vocals) and Michael Gonzalez (bass).
Durkin has been sitting out some of DARK ANGEL's recent gigs. He was replaced at the shows by Hoglan's wife Laura Christine.
