![]() Somebody asked me this morning why did I took all of the old bass parts off and I thought it's obvious - most of it was me demoing the bass and some of it was David stuff When Steve started playing, it was so clear that we needed to go forward with that and had I thought about James, prior to the tour starting up probably would have had James come into the studio and record too. ![]() We basically don't speak about that too much and just talk about the stuff that happened on the record and not to stuff that didn't. There's no real perspective that we can take that is going to be considerate to everybody. We try not to talk much about the transition had to be made, you know, we try not to talk much about it. Playing with people like Kiko, Steve, and Dirk was very challenging for me because of the caliber and musicianship that everybody has and to keep things fresh. What aspects of making the new album rekindled that innocence and that sense of exuberance? #Dark angel darkness descends fullMusic can be a full circle, that, if you're lucky, brings you back to the unencumbered joy of first learning to play. I've been doing this for so long I've been trying to get that ultimate lineup again and I really think that we're there. The four of us coming together in this big old world, that in itself is a miracle. My health was a big thing and it's hard enough as it is to write a good record like this one. We've got our own stuff that we need to take care of with our work, with our family and with ourselves. We're living in a time right now where people are just very, very sensitive and argumentative - very litigious - and we just want to play Megadeth music and be happy. When I was down in Singapore, we were onstage goofing around - stupid, fat, drunken bonehead jokes - and I said something that really negatively affected me for quite some time. I think it's the contrary - it's actually made me a little bit more aware of the repercussions and the negative effects of the things that we say.

Their original band name was Shellshock which they changed to Dark Angel in 1983. The roots of Dark Angel go back to the year 1981 when Don Doty (vocals), Jim Durkin (guitars), Rob Yahn (bass) and Mike Andrade (drums) formed the band in Downey, CA, during the early days of the Bay Area thrash invasion. Darkness Descends (originally released in 1986) is widely regarded as Dark Angel's 'classic' record. Gene Hoglan's drumming on songs like "Merciless Death," "The Burning Of Sodom" and "Black Prophecies" is simply not of this world! As you all know, Hoglan later moved on to play with Chuck Schuldiner's Death and more recently with Testament as well as Devin Townsend (with whom he recorded several albums). No doubt about it, Dark Angel's Darkness Descends is one of the most important albums in thrash metal history.
