If there was one reunion that Thrash metal fans were still expecting, this was the one! Who knows why it took so long, but what matters is that they finally were back. "We Have Arrived", they would say!

Originally, Dark Angel wasn't supposed to play at Hellfest. Megadeth was scheduled to play this spot and when they cancelled, it was given to Death Angel. But Death Angel was reprogrammed to play on friday (the first day of the Hellfest) and that's how Dark Angel took over!

Dark Angel's played the Mainstage 01 and there was relatively few people watching the show. That's not really surprising. The band has been away for a long time and many people didn't know about them.
But those who knew them, were really happy to see that they're back, and I'm sure they gained new fans among the curious that discovered them that day!

Dark Angel is back and (I hope) they're here to stay! Hearing those old classic songs like We have Arrived, Never To Rise Again or Death Is certain (Life Is Not) was amazing! It felt like going back in time.
Darkness Desends and Leave Scars were among the first Thrash Metal albums I had in my hands, so this band means a lot to me.

I had the chance to see them 2 weeks earlier at Sweden Rock Festival and, while both shows were quite different, I enjoyed much more this one!
I really hope that they have plans to go on! Such a great band has to carry on!

After Dark Angel, it was time for some more extreme music with Behemoth's Black Metal. Click here for Behemoth live at Hellfest.
