FIFTH ANGEL Release Third Studio Album ‘The Third Secret’
October 26th, 2018

Seattle, Washington-based power metal band Fifth Angel issued third full-length studio album The Third Secret on October 26th, 2018 through Nuclear Blast Records.

Bassist John Macko commented: “When we began this process, we always were mindful to write songs that moved us as a band first. We felt that if we achieved that, then the music will most likely touch our fans as well.”

Vocalist / guitarist Kendall Bechtel added: “We are very proud of the new album! We hope the fans will hear the classic threads of the Fifth Angel they know and love, along with the growth and maturity the individuals of the band have gone through over the years. We hope they love the new songs as much as we do!”
