Seventh Angel
The United Kingdom had a pretty healthy thrash scene during the early'
nineties, with several standout bands recording for the
Under One Flag
label.
One of those bands was Seventh Angel, formed in 1987 and
notable for being one of the
relatively few Christian thrash bands at the time, releasing two
albums on the UOF label in 1990 and 1992.
As heard on 1992's
Lament For The Weary, their style was a form of
inventive Christian progressive thrash, thankfully toning down the
preachiness on the lyric front.
Considering the number of thrash bands at the time that all sounded like
each other, Seventh Angel seemed a bit more willing to spread their wings
a bit, resulting in a lost 90's thrash classic.
But stardom was not in the cards for the band, and they broke up in 1992
shortly after the album's release.
Some 16 years,
core members Ian Arkley and Andrew Thompson
decided to give it another go, and with a new lineup in place, released
a comeback album,
The Dust Of Years, in 2009.
