Excited by the success of contiguous metal upstarts Queensrÿche, vocalizer Ted Pilot, guitar player James Byrd, and drummer Ken Mary formed Fifth Angel in Bellevue, WA, in 1984. Drafting second guitar player Ed Archer and bassist John Macko, they finally sign-language to the Shrapnel label and released an eponymic debut in 1986 -- its orotund classic alloy earning far-flung approval within the alloy community. It too attracted the herculean Concrete Management, which began shopping the album to major labels and strained the band into a state of oblivion while they anticipated the drawn-out negotiations' finish. During this time, bandmembers unbroken interfering with various side projects, most notably drummer Mary, wHO did sitting work for Alice Cooper, House of Lords, and David Chastain. Finally, Fifth Angel was handed a long-term deal by Epic Records, which later on reissued their debut album in 1988. But by so, a disgruntled Byrd had already left to launch a solo life history (beginning with the James Byrd's Atlantis Rising record album, as well on Shrapnel) and was replaced by guitar player Kendall Bechtel prior to the roger Sessions for 1989's belated Time Will Tell. Sadly, Fifth Angel's sound had gone from ahead of its time to positively dated during the ensuing years and the album failed to meet the proud expectations of all involved. The band quickly fell aside thenceforth.
