Fifth Angel released their first new album in almost 30 years, The Third Secret, today,October 26th via Nuclear Blast. Order the album in various formats here. A new video for the title track is streaming below.

This video, like the album, is the band’s first in nearly thirty years. The head of promotion at Nuclear Blast Records, Markus Wosgien states, “We feel this is a brilliant album, and the critics feel this is a brilliant album. But now is the time that the most important voice is heard, and that is the voice of the fans! We are excited to see how they will react!”

"We are very excited about this album," states drummer and producer Ken Mary. "When it came time to write songs for The Third Secret, we knew the bar we were going to have to hit was very high. The first two Fifth Angel albums are considered "classics" by so many people, and they have stood the test of time for 30 years. Needless to say, that makes doing a follow up record extremely challenging. So we laid down two basic ground rules when we were creating the songs for the new album: 1) It has to "sound" like Fifth Angel, and 2) We, (meaning every band member), have to be excited about every song and love every song first before we consider putting it on the record. If we don't feel strongly about the art we are creating, why should anyone else, right? So we followed those two rules, and created an album that we love listening to ourselves. Hopefully that will translate into the fans loving it as much as we do!"
