The band's powerful self-titled debut record drew rave reviews in the heavy metal community and comparisons to fellow Seattle-area rockers, Queensrÿche. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eShortly thereafter, Fifth Angel realized its dream, inking a seven-album deal with a major label, Epic Records. The band released its second record, \u003ci\u003eTime Will Tell\u003c\/i\u003e, in 1989, and Fifth Angel seemed primed for a lengthy career. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut that success never came. Fifth Angel struggled to break through to the masses. Ultimately, lineup changes and a shifting music scene led to Fifth Angel's demise before the band could get off the ground. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTwo decades later, an invite to perform at one of Europe's leading heavy metal festivals resurrected Fifth Angel. After further lineup shuffling, the band signed with Nuclear Blast and released two more highly lauded albums: \u003ci\u003eThe Third Secret\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eWhen Angels Kill\u003c\/i\u003e. Fifth Angel continues to soar today, playing to crowds all over the world. This is their story.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Brian J.
