Recently reunited thrash metal pioneers DARK ANGEL will return to the stage for the first time in over 10 years. The first appearance will be April 26th 2014 at The Metal Fest in Santiago, Chile, where they will share the stage with MEGADETH, HYPOCRISY, VOIVOD and AT THE GATES.

Dark Angel took a break from rehearsals to greet the Chilean fans in the video below. "We are going to rip your fuckin heads off", comments drummer Gene Hoglan on the upcoming shows!

Dark Angel have just added another show to their 2014 appearances. The band will appear at Neurotic Deathfest in Tilburg, Holland on May 4th.

Dark Angel have been rehearsing with the full lineup in southern California. During these rehearsals the band addressed the fans with this video greeting:

Legendary artist Ed Repka has redesigned the classic Dark Angel logo with amazing results. Guitarist Jim Durkin comments on the new logo and 2014 return: "I can't tell you how happy I am about the return of Dark Angel in 2014. These are a great bunch of guys and I wouldn't have it any other way. We went back to our roots and got Ed Repka involved in the redesign of the classic logo. Dark fuckin Angel have been working very hard on the music, I cannot wait to bring this monster back to the fans."

Drummer Gene Hoglan recently commented on the band's rehearsals: "Hey everybody, just to let you know, Dark fuckin Angel has been working real hard behind the scenes, and I can't tell you enough how happy we are to bring this beast back to the fans. I'll admit before the rehearsals I really didn't know what to expect, but let me tell you, you to will be as stoked as I am. We have returned!"
