Death Angel or Dark Angel

Id say Death Angel only because they are still around and have released more albums than Dark Angel and I had the priveledge of seeing them open for Armored Saint last year. But Dark Angel rules as well

Dark Angel have had more of an impact on me.

Dark Angel had one really good album,Darkness.All of Death Angels' are good to excellent.

Dark Angel by far.

Dark Angel.

I have to say Dark Angel. The problem for me was this, however: Dark Angel only released one album I truly love from beginning to end, and still put on after all these years (Darkness Descends); whereas Death Angel have put out several interesting albums, with plenty of decent songs....but never an entire album that I liked from start to finish. There are tons of gems, but always encrusted in an only moderately-shiny crown. Death Angel is probably the better band...but of the two bands, not the one with a T-Shirt I would bid on if it showed up on e-bay.

Both

Like 'em both, chose Dark Angel.

Agree with ult and voted Dark Angel

C'mon people are you serious?!? Dark Angel made one really great album with Don Doty.Ron Rinehart's vocals are TERRIBLE, monotonic, with no range whatsoever.You guys aren't choosing Dark Angel because Ron's a christian now are you? (Had to throw that out there).People have hated Death Angel ever since "Frolic" because they slightly strayed from the thrash formula, yet Ultra-Violence is just as good as "Darkness" or "Time". But "Time Does Not Heal" has 246 riffs! Yes, 246 boring riffs,sure. All of Death Angel's albums are good to outstanding-ACT III alone is better than anything Dark Angel ever put out. It has great thrash,amazing balladry and dynamic songwrighting all over it. Mark Osegueda is a versatile singer-Neither Don or Ron could pull off a song such as "A Room With A View". The only reason these two bands are constantly compared to each other is because both bands came from the same general geographical area, are considered "thrash" bands, and the similarity of their band names which is a dubious reason to compare the two in the first place. What's next-Metallica or Metallium? Iron Maiden or Iron Saviour? Holy Terror or Holy Moses? Exodus or Exumer? Kyuss or Kiuas? Dream Evil or Dream Theatre? Angel Dust or Angel Witch?

Are you high?? You gotta be high if you think Death Angel is better than Gene Hoglan & the boys.

Ron's vocals are anything but monotonous on TDNH... there's plenty of power, melody and tempo shifts.

Dark Angel was brutal. Death Angel is ok... but wimpy. Kinda like a Anthrax-lite.

Sorry TM, my vote is going to Dark Angel as well. I have no problems with Death Angel, love them in fact. Out of both of their catalogs, the album that I go back to the most is TIME DOES NOT HEAL, so Dark Angel wins here.

What he said.

Death Angel for me. Even though I like both bands, I enjoy the Death Angel catalog more.

Tough choice for me, take Hoglan out of the equation and Dark Angel lost more than just a talented drummer. How many bands can you say that about ? And what does that say about the rest of the band ? If you missed my point, his drumming wasn't the biggest impact he ahd on that band. I think Dark Angel was better onstage with both Don and Ron as opposed to Death Angel. I seem to enjoy Mark's vocals more and they mix things up a bit more in the songwriting department.

By a microbe on a tick hanging on a hair from a camel's left testicle......Death Angel
