The history of England's NWoBHM band Desolation Angels, like many other upstart bands in the Eighties, reads like a Greek tragedy: promise and potential get beaten down by the lingering pessimism of defeat. The band scored an underground hit in the UK with their self-titled debut. Then they probably made the worst possible mistake of their career; they decided to move to Los Angeles and break into the American heavy metal scene. The move is a twist on the old Tony Bennett song, Los Angeles, if we can make there, we can make it anywhere. Eventually the band moved back to England and promptly broke up. Warping to the present day, founding members and guitarists Keith Sharp and Robin Brancher resurrected the band in 2012, and delivered their third album, King a full-on metal onslaught of the highest order!
