ANGEL DUST

Vinyl re-issue of the 4th album from 1999 by this veteran German Power Metal band. With "Bleed", ANGEL DUST further consolidated the remarkable transformation that had begun a few years earlier, fully leaving behind its Thrash Metal origins in favour of a more melodic, sophisticated and modern sound. Led by guitarist Bernd Aufermann and vocalist Dirk Thurisch, the band delivered a release that significantly expanded its musical scope without sacrificing power or identity.

One of the album's most appealing qualities is the seamless integration of progressive elements, atmospheric arrangements and enhanced melodic depth within a firmly Power Metal framework. Rather than repeating established formulas, ANGEL DUST crafted a dynamic and diverse record that demonstrated clear growth compared to its predecessors. Many fans regard "Bleed" as one of the strongest releases of the band's later era and a standout example of late-nineties German Power Metal.
