Employing a dazzling mix of glam rock, hard rock, and progressive rock, Angel's outrageous, white-satin-heavy image and equally over-the-top stage shows, making them one of the more colorful arena rock bands of the mid-'70s and early '80s. Discovered by Kiss bass player, Gene Simmons, the group issued their eponymous debut album in 1975, which hewed closer to prog rock than the glam pop that would inform future endeavors like On Earth as It Is in Heaven (1977) and Sinful (1979). The group released a total of 5 studio albums and 1 live album before going their separate ways in 1981.

The band officially re-formed in 2019 with original members, Punky Meadows and Frank DiMino, joined by Danny Farrow, Steve E. Ojane, Billy Orrico, and Charlie Calv. The newly reactivated Angel released their comeback studio effort, Risen, later that October and followed up with Once Upon A Time in 2023. Deko Entertainment is re-issuing the 1975 debut album to celebrate its 50th Anniversary. A heavy slab of heavy pomp rock with lengthy songs swathed in Giuffria's atmospheric keyboards and featuring the longtime stage favorite "Tower"!
