Saw these guys 20 years ago at the Country Club in L.A. The pit was so violent. Some people left in ambulances. They crushed the place so bad. I'll never forget it.
I miss this band so much, Durkin and Meyer were a fantastic duo and of course Gene,this guys kick lots of new bands' asses no matter they split up, Dark Angel rocks!
You can definitely get more Underground than D.F.A. Try Slaughter(Canada), Attomica, Devastation, Gammacide, etc. Though...Darkness Descends is THE Thrash album!
Cool, I am in the front on this video headbangign, I had just turned 21 a few days before this Uktimate Revenge II gig at the troc here in Philly..those were the days!
"500 thrash and death metal Riffs" ALL uploaded now. 41 parts. 6 1/2 hours of Riffs! Keeping Thrash Metal Alive.....Lots of Dark Angel Riffs. Check out parts 1,4,10,16,24,30,32,40 Superb Riffers. Great guitarists and an immense drummer in Gene Hoglan.
The absolute PINNACLE of thrash metal!!! This baby is by far the best album of the so called "Unholy Trinity of 1986 thrash (the other 2 being Reign in Blood and Pleasure to Kill). Don Doty can sing fast as a motherfucker too!!! HAIL!
Damm this brings back good memories. Years later can you really find something more intense then this? Look at the crowd and the band is going apeshit......... Most underated band in metal period!!!!!!
Man it's just amazing how every single metal video on youtube end up either with worshipping Metallica, hating Metallica or both. It's stupid anyway. Oh, and Dark Angel is fucking awesome.
This wasn't at CBGBs although seeing DA with Possessed was the best show that I have ever been to. Ron Reinhart wasn't with them at the time. I think Jim Drabos (Death Force) filled in for Don Doty. Plus the CBGB's stage was tiny. I remember feeling that Gene's drum kit took up half the stage. DA also headlined that show due to Possessed not knowing how long they could play due to a cut on the hand of one of the guitarists. I can't remember which.
@forsakenwithlife18 No this is Ron Rinehart.He replaced Don.Amazing vocalist to remember such complex lyrical verses.He later became a Christian and sang in a band called Oil.Dark Angel are still amazing to listen to and were much under-rated in their day.
THE best song to put on during driving as a speedway METAL maniac on the road and on the streets with a shotgun in 1 hand, beer in the other! and who's driving?well, not me ofc :)
I love it!!!! Remind me to the early 91 when i see Live Dark Angel in Genova in a local club...what an awesome night of pure massacre...Thrasher till death!!!
DFA is just awesome, but I don't know why so many people criticise ron. he can imitate don's vocal style, but also has his own. As far as I know, there is just a single live recording with don doty on vocals. Anyway, I think this version has about 344 bpm (I counted the beats for 15 seconds and multiplied it by 4, and I always got a value about 344 bpm)
This is off Combats Ultimate revenge2 w/ forbbiden,faith or fear, raven,death Hard to find but worth it if you can get it. I have #1 &# 2 on VHS This was filmed in Philly #1 was in new york with Exodus, Slayer & Venom Fuckin brutal
It's funny how people say that Slayer is the greatest thrash band in the world when they weren't even the best in California. Dark Angel completely destroys Slayer.
They sound like they bridge the gap between thrash metal and death metal. You can definitely hear elements of both styles in their music.
No fucking doubt in my mind DARK ANGEL is one of IF NOT the best thrash metal bands in existence! The 3 albums are LEGENDARY
Not a big fan of their first, but Darkness and Scars are probably my favorite thrash albums ever.
Not everyone can play as fast as Dark Angel.
As fast as Gene Hoglan*

Darkness descends really deserved more recongnition.
How the fuck that stage did not explode?
that is one of life's great mysteries......
Ron on vocals
every. single. one. of them on stage in this video could kill me with pure musical skill
The old good times of Thrashmageddon forum, when I first came in touch with this band

Gene Mutha fucking Hogland!

This is my favorite track off of Darkness.

Though...Darkness Descends is THE Thrash album!
I remember back in the 90's when I bought the "leave scars" album..... slayer-style metal

Fuck YES mate!!! Personally i would add Sadus as one of those manic thrash bands
YEP!!!! Pleasure to Kill does not get the credit it deserves!
Awesome - so glad I got to see them live when I did - Darkness Decends - in my top 5!
This band needs to come back.
True thrash..in the purest sense of the word.Dark Angel were a very much under-rated band..Metallica could never match this..as good as they are.
yes they could idoit
Damm this brings back good memories. Years later can you really find something more intense then this? Look at the crowd and the band is going apeshit......... Most underated band in metal period!!!!!!
Awesome, full of energy..brilliant \m/
I love how the cameramen in metal videos NEVER get the solo panning correct, lmao !
Man it's just amazing how every single metal video on youtube end up either with worshipping Metallica, hating Metallica or both. It's stupid anyway.
Oh, and Dark Angel is fucking awesome.
Insane speed and yet so tight.
PURE MADNESS !!!!!!!!! ^^

This is Fucking Classic...I still have this on VHS.
I own the vhs Combat released of this show in 89, it has these guys, Death, and others all playing 4 or so songs, it's great.
Haha, I love the 80s camera FX, fuckin classic !

This stuff fuels my fuckin life! Thrash till fuckin death!
@motleydude73 @forsakenwithlife18 This is Don Doty, not Rinehart guys :p!
@lvgordo Me too, though it kinda makes sense that way, if you play open handed.
@HardKore5250 Certain death from Sadus is faster than anything to come from the american thrash scene, besides somthing from wehrmacht.
thrash into the veins to destroy all the fucking room
Comparisons should be used for direction in seeking music. Critics can generally FOAD, not everyone likes Justin Bieber.
@forsakenwithlife18 Yea there are a few vids on here with him in the band.Pretty grainy poor quality footage though.
'The burning ass of Gene Hoglan' xD
@GoG4o2 That's Gene Holgan for ya :D
Hey man, we can't all thrash like Barry...These guys can keep up, though...; )
@motleydude73 do u know if there are any live videos of dark angel with Don Doty?
Dark Angel is like the fastest fucking band lmao
Now this is what i call thrash!
0:10 to 0:14
HOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLYYYYYY FUCK!!!!!
It's funny how people say that Slayer is the greatest thrash band in the world when they weren't even the best in California. Dark Angel completely destroys Slayer.
