Greek band Suicidal Angels

They emerged in 2001 with a sound based on classic 80s thrash metal, especially that from the Bay Area scene. Led by guitarist and vocalist Nick Melissourgos, who has been the only constant member of the band over the years, their energetic, 'neck-snapping' approach has resulted in a series of praised studio albums, with prominent releases like Bloodbath (2012), Years of Aggression (2019), and Profane Prayer (2024).

Inspiration and Formation

Inspired by bands such as Napalm Death, Celtic Frost, and Slayer, Suicidal Angels was founded in 2001 by guitarist, vocalist, and lyricist Nick Melissourgos. The band released the demo United by Hate in 2002, followed by the EP Bloodthirsty Humanity in 2004. A four-track single appeared in 2006, paving the way for their first full album Eternal Domination.

Discography Success

By then, the band had expanded its fan base across Europe and began attracting attention internationally. In 2008, the band signed a deal with the major metal record label Nuclear Blast and began recording their second album Sanctify the Darkness (2009), the first release for the German metal label NoiseArt.

Over the next three years, the band embarked on an ambitious tour, performing at numerous festivals including Wacken Open Air, Metalcamp, Sonisphere, and Brutal Assault. During that period, they released their third and fourth albums, Dead Again (2010) and Bloodbath (2012), with the latter being their first album to enter the top charts.

The album Divide and Conquer in 2014 achieved excellent success on the German charts, as did Division of Blood in 2016. Their seventh album, Years of Aggression, was released in 2019 and found resonance with audiences in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. The band re-signed with Nuclear Blast for their eighth album Profane Prayer, released in 2024, emphasizing the band's technical skills and intensity.
