::Biography::

Arkangel... from Brussels city, Belgium.

Even if the band exists for 8 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" (release on RPP 1998) and a full CD "Dead man Walking" (release on GLR 1999) ARKANGEL have gained popularity in Europe, The United States and many other countries.

Their music which is undeniably metal influenced by hardcore acquired a lot of originality but also ARKANGEL'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 U.S., followed by more shows in Canada. Over 2002/2003 the band played shows all over Europe and play as headliner in front of two thousand people the famous San-Feliu hardcore fest in Spain and got the chance to play as support for bands such as MACHINE HEAD. Finally in August 2004 ARKANGEL enter studio and recorded their new album with producer 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, Germany, UK and got the opportunity to play in Tokyo/JAPAN at the first edition of "IDEPENDENCE-D" festival together with bands such as The Misfits and The Dillinger Escape Plan.
