Fifth Angel - The Third Secret
Perhaps one of the most legendary outfits to come out of Seattle, USA, alongside metal giants like Queensrÿche, Metal Church and Sanctuary, Fifth Angel took the scene by storm with their awesome homonym debut album in 1986. Shortly after releasing another gem in ‘Time Will Tell’ (1989), though, former vocalist Ted Pilot, Ed Archer (guitars) and Ken Mary (drums) decided to call it quits, only to reform in 2010 to headline one of the greatest festivals in the world to me, the iconic Keep It True Festival. Warmed by their reception and sparkled by another sold-out crowd at Keep It True 2017, Mary, John Macko (bass) and Kendall Bechtel (guitars, vocals) teamed-up in the studio to release their highly anticipated third album, ‘The Third Secret’.
While – of course – this doesn’t stand a chance against the marvelous work put out in the 80’s, the Seattle natives managed to do a great job in terms of mixing old and new, with flairs of their heydays and many modern elements that work today (not too many, thank Odin), which took form in a respectable and fun comeback, that actually gives the impression that these dudes were active all this time, and not on a 22+ years hiatus.
