Dark Angel‘s fifth studio album, and their first since 1991, “Extinction Level Event“, will now meet a September 05th release date through Reversed Records.

“Musically, lyrically, and vocally, I’m so stoked about this album.” He went on to add, “I’m really excited about Dark Angel right now. And everyone who’s heard the new album is losing their minds.”
