GENE HOGLAN I don't think we were active at all in terms of shopping for a deal, and I don't recall any of the other labels at the time - Metal Blade, Megaforce, etc. WAS DARK ANGEL ACTIVELY SHOPPING FOR A NEW RECORD DEAL WHEN THE BAND WAS APPROACHED BY COMBAT RECORDS IN THE MID EIGHTIES? DID OTHER LABELS EXPRESS INTEREST IN SIGNING THE GROUP? Video of Dark Angel - Death Is Certain (Life Is Not) From the tour bus crash that killed Metallica's Cliff Burton in 1986 and the 1989 shooting that left Possessed singer-bassist Jeff Becerra paralyzed to Exodus singer Paul Baloff's death following a stroke in 2002 and Slayer's Jeff Hanneman succumbing to alcohol-related cirrhosis in 2013 - Eighties thrash bands have experienced more than their fair share of tragedies. Over the years, nearly every act has been dealt a significant blow or suffered some unthinkable disaster. For each Big 4 behemoth, there are many more highly influential bands and notable players that have faded into obscurity. The mid-Eighties glory days of American thrash metal produced some of the most legendary heavy music in history - what it failed to produce, however, were a lot of long-term success stories and happy endings. Revolver has teamed with Dark Angel for exclusive "Combat Camo" vinyl reissues of the thrash band's classic albums Leave Scars and Time Does Not Heal, limited to just 200 of each worldwide.
