Viereinhalb Jahre nach ihrem im Oktober 2018 veröffentlichten dritten „Comeback“-Studioalbum „The Third Secret“ melden sich die US Metaller FIFTH ANGEL am 16. Juni mit Silberling Nummer 4 zurück. Der Titeltrack `When Angels Kill´ bietet schon mal packenden, melodischen Heavy Metal wie wir ihn uns wünschen. FIFTH ANGEL wurden 1984 gegründet und nach zwei Studioalben 1990 aufgelöst. Seit 2017 ist die Band wieder aktiv.

Und das sagt die Band selbst dazu:

„We are proud to present the first single and video, as well as the title track, from our new double vinyl concept record, „When Angels Kill“, that will be released on Nuclear Blast on June 16, 2023.We want to sincerely thank all of our fans for your support over these many years. We feel honored to still be asked to create music for you, and we hope you will enjoy the new song and album!“

Lyrics:

The rage descends in untold power, four horses bringing death,
Now the wicked never will find rest,
Another scroll begins to open, and the seven bowls of wrath,
The reckoning will play out to the last,

In the visions, I can see their pain,
Spirits meet their fate, and enter the flame, enter the flames . . .

When angels kill, and death is reigning from the skies,
When angels die, the gates of hell are opened wide,
When angels kill, the heavens shake, the seals are torn,
When angels die, and there’s no shelter from the storm,

There is silence from the heavens, and the skies above are brass,
The violence of all hell has been set free,
In the haze the stars are darkened, no light upon this land,
Hide your soul the madness is at hand,

In the visions, I can see their pain,
Spirits meet their fate, and enter the flame, enter the flames . . .

When angels kill, and death is reigning from the skies,
When angels die, the gates of hell are opened wide,
When angels kill, the heavens shake, the seals are torn,
When angels die, and there’s no shelter from the storm…
