For:Thrash metal fans, metal collectors and readers interested in 1980s-1990s technical thrash.

 We are in 1986, and Dark Angel, after their very good debut with "We Have Arrived", deliver their second work, that powerhouse known as "Darkness Descends", with which they confirm themselves as one of the best Thrash bands in the scene.

 A great album, an ideal trait d'union between the fury of "Darkness Descends" and the complexity of "Time Does Not Heal", for a big band too tied to the name of matador Gene Hoglan, certainly not without reason, although the renowned work of Jim Durkin in the composition phase is often forgotten.

 Majestic, violent, devastating, recorded with a top-level line-up led by the legendary drummer Gene Hoglan, the true driving force of the album, "Time Does Not Heal" is an ideal fusion of Thrash and Death.
