Founded in 2015, Angelic Forces blasted off on their mission to conquer the world with their strongly 80’s influenced metal sound by releasing their first single – Angelic Forces, in 2016. This release showcased their specific sound containing screaming solos, twin guitar harmonies and high pitched vocals. This led to many shows which displayed their straight-forward, heavy metal sound with powerful songs and catchy hooks combined with their energetic live performances!
In 2018 they entered the studio to record the songs – Thunder and Lightning and Never Fade. These two songs, together with their first single, were released on the self-titled EP, which still receives some great reviews and international attention from online magazines, radio shows and podcasts to this day.
In December 2022 they released their first full length album called “Arise” via Dutch independent heavy metal label No Dust Records and Animated Insanity Records (U.S.A.). In 2024 they released their single “Force to Fight” also to support the re-release of their self-titled EP. The re-release was an extremely limited edition of 20 cuts.
After some line-up changes Angelic Forces is back, with a better and solid line-up.
