This was the one and only album Rage of Angels ever put out. Not sure why they broke up but I know they had a lot of label trouble. This one was originally scheduled to be released by R.E.X. but was sold to Regency. In any case, Rage of Angels are excellent heavy metal with a heavy Skid Row flare. Loads of hooks. With the right label and management, these guys could have been very popular in 1989. The album credits Doug Mann with production and mix, but apparently the band was so unhappy with the mix that they wanted it remixed. It was re-mixed by the Elefante brothers (Guardian, X-Sinner, Petra, etc.) before it's release. John and Dino were never given credit for it. The disc went out of print years ago, so these were selling for a pretty hefty price on the auctions.
