Collector's Editions: Don't Miss Out!

For devoted fans and collectors, special limited edition sets will be available, featuring signed copies and exclusive red vinyl, but hurry—these will be up for grabs only until September 15!

What's Inside the Album?

Fans can look forward to an electrifying tracklist that promises to showcase DARK ANGEL's signature thrash sound, including: 1. Extinction Level Event 2. Circular Firing Squad 3. Woke Up To Blood 4. Apex Predator 5. Sea Of Heads 6. Atavistic 7. Scaler Weaponry 8. Scarface The Room 9. E Pluribus Nemo 10. Terror Construct 11. Extraction Tactics

The excitement kicked off earlier this year with the release of the explosive single 'Circular Firing Squad,' followed by the album's title track, which was crafted by guitarist Jim Durkin before his passing in 2023 due to liver disease.

Remembering Jim Durkin

Jim Durkin was a cornerstone of DARK ANGEL, contributing to their first three albums in the '80s and returning for the band's revival in 2013. His profound impact on the band's sound continues, as Gene Hoglan pays tribute to Durkin’s legacy through the new music.

"Every riff in this album connects back to Jim; he defined our style," Hoglan reflects. "I wanted listeners to feel his presence in every track.”

Fresh Sounds Fueled by Passion and Grief

With over a decade of writing behind them, DARK ANGEL’s work on this album began in earnest in late 2022. The creative process involved revisiting jams Durkin and Hoglan had made, leading to the creation of over ten new songs in just three months. The recording in Vancouver featured stellar production, capturing the raw essence that fans crave.

Prepare for the Thrash Metal Experience of a Lifetime!

Descriptions of upcoming tracks include 'Atavistic,' a fierce three-minute thrash attack, and 'Terror Construct,' a scathing critique of media manipulation. Fans can expect each song to resonate with both nostalgia and modern energy.

As DARK ANGEL approaches their release date, the excitement is palpable—this is not just an album; it's a testament to a band that has endured through the years, honoring their legacy while pushing forward into a new era. Get ready to thrash like never before!
