History & Biography
Formed in 1981 out of the ashes of Blackwater Fever the band hailed from London, England but moved to the USA in 1987 for a while. The band practised pure heavy metal. 1982 brought the debut single, Valhalla/Boadicea, which lead to a contract with Bullit Records. Palfrey left the band before the debut's release. The band planned on re-recording its sophomore with singer Lee Addison the band split up in 1994. The band reformed in 2012. Desolation Angels’ King album was re-released with revised cover art and distributed worldwide through Dissonance Productions in 2018. It was a 2017 demo.

Desolation Angels had a new album in 2022. Burning Black was released by Skol Records of Poland. Second guitarist Richie Yeates (Steve Grimmett) had joined in 2021. The band played at Mearfest Flame in 2023. The band closed 2023 with an appearance at Heavy Metal Maniacs festival with Nasty Savage, Omen and Avenger in The Netherlands. Grim Reaper’s Steve Grimmett was to be remembered at the Wings Of Angels Festival in Swindon, England on November 23rd 2024. His family was to attend and there would be a Grim Reaper cover act, alongside Desolation Angels and others.

Desolation Angels was a novel and, in turn, an album’s name from Bad Company and a leggy movie. The last one followed the band’s formation.
