this is how we see the world...burning forever

About Me

Even if the band exists for 10 years now, it seems to be the beginning of a long and immortal decade, of total war against all, through music and lyrics. With a first MCD "Prayers upon deaf ears" (RPP 1998) and a full CD "Dead man Walking" (GLR 1999) Arkangel have gained popularity in Europe, The United States and other countries. Their music which is undeniably metal, influenced by HC, acquired a lot of originality but also Arkangels's singer Baldur got a determinant role with his vocals attaining a supreme level of brutality. In 2001, they played at the Hellfest in Syracuse US followed by more shows in Canada. Over 2002/2003 the band played shows all over Europe, headlined the famous Sant Feliu Hardcore fest (Spain) and got the chance to play as support for bands such as Machine Head...Finally, in August 2004, Arkangel went to studio again and recorded their new album with the help of Koen De Boeve who produced their first MCD. This new album, "Hope you die by overdose" has been released in november 2004 on their own and brand new label PRIVATE HELL RECORDS. Right after the release, Arkangel started to play shows in Belgium, Holland, France, UK and got the opportunity to play in Japan at the first edition of the "Independence-D" festival together with bands such as The Misfits and The Dillinger Escape Plan. Back from Japan, they continued their invasion of the world playing all over Europe (ex: Fury Fest in France with bands such as: Fantomas, Anthrax, Neurosis, Slayer, Motorhead, Megadeth, Mastodon,.............)...In October 2005, the new cd has been licenced for the Japanese distribution to God' s Child Music....a full japanese tour followed as well as a show in Seoul, Korea....
