Debut album from 1985 by the American DARK ANGEL, one of the most aggressive and uncompromising bands to emerge from the early Thrash Metal scene. “We Have Arrived” captures the raw energy and youthful fury of a band determined to push the genre toward more extreme territory, laying the foundations for the devastating sound they would perfect on later releases.
With a rough and primitive production, savage riffs and relentless speed, the album delivers a fierce assault that bridges the gap between early Thrash Metal and the emerging extreme Metal movement of the mid-1980s. A cult classic that already showcased the intensity and aggression that would soon make DARK ANGEL one of the most respected names in the genre.
