2nd album from 1986 by the American DARK ANGEL, widely regarded as one of the most extreme and influential releases in the history of Thrash Metal. “Darkness Descends” pushed the genre's boundaries of speed, aggression and intensity to unprecedented levels, earning the band its well-deserved reputation as one of the most ferocious acts of the 1980s Thrash scene.
Featuring a relentless barrage of savage riffs, complex arrangements and Gene Hoglan's extraordinary drumming, the album delivers a level of brutality and technicality that was far ahead of its time. A true landmark of extreme Thrash Metal, “Darkness Descends” remains an essential reference for countless bands that followed in its wake.
Recommended for fans of SLAYER, SADUS, DEMOLITION HAMMER and KREATOR.
