Desolation Angel Live + The Deep
Live at cart & Horses!!!
English metal band Desolation Angels were founded in 1981 by vocalist Dave Wall, guitarists Robin Brancher and Keith Sharp, and bassist Joe Larner. Drummer Brett Robertson eventually completed the lineup that recorded 1983's self-financed "Valhalla" single.
By this time, the group had nevertheless established itself as a solid club draw throughout London's East End, often playing alongside other arrivals to the New Wave of British Heavy Metal such as Chariot and Elixir.
Desolation Angels managed to forge ahead through a few more years before finally calling it quits in 1994.
The release of the Feels Like Thunder box set in 2008 prompted original guitarists Robin Brancher and Keith Sharp to start up the old machinery, and by 2012 the band was playing live again.
In 2014 Desolation Angels released a new EP, The Sweeter the Meat, and in 2016 they celebrated their 30th anniversary with a reissue of their eponymous debut album.
Desolation Angels are:
Paul Taylor – vocals
Richie Yeates – lead guitar
Keith Sharp – guitar
Clive Pearson – bass
Chris Takka - drums
THE DEEP:
The Deep may be a comparatively new name to the metal and rock scene, but the genesis of the band goes way back to the early eighties. In fact the band and its members have connections to various NWOBHM and rock outfits from that time.
Their debut album Premonition is in no way a copy or hollow echo of days gone by.
All but one of the songs on the album were written and performed by them during the early to mid 1980s. As such, the music on this album is truly embedded within and representative of the musical style of that time - and in particular the NWOBHM genre.
Excellent line up for a true BNWOHM night at Cart & Horses!!!
