“Wake up Dead” kicked off proceedings with enough riffs and tempo changes to pad out an entire album, while “The Conjuring” was a devilishly diabolical ode to the power of black magic. However, it was on track 3 where Megadeth stamped down their mark on the thrash scene. The first four tracks on this album remain untouchable (tracks 5-8 ain’t bad either).

This time around, Dave Mustaine assembled a posse of musicians who could match his knack for melody and dead-shot metal marksmanship and the results were uniformly stunning. Grab a copy while you can and journey into Angel Dust’s actually bright past! 29. Those who missed out the first time round should applaud the recent re-release of Into The Dark Past on No Remorse Records as this relatively unsung contribution to early German thrash is ripe for rediscovery. Ugly, forceful, yet furnished with glimpses of power metal harmony, Keymer was actually an unorthodox yet perfect match-up.įans of Agent Steel, Grave Digger and Helloween should already be aware of Angel Dust’s early output. Romme Keymer’s vocals may have received a bit of stick over the years but they fit the music perfectly. Before they fully embraced power metal, Germany’s Angel Dust had a pop at thrash and as debuts go, Into The Dark Past was a fast, frantic, thrill ride! Resolutely obsessed with speed over finesse, these 8 ripping tracks were less Sodom and Kreator and more Iron Angel a thrilling hybrid of speed and thrash that was equal parts melody and barbarity.
