LastFM"A MURDER OF ANGELS was born in 1999 when Bryin Dall (4th Sign Of The Apocalypse) asked Derek Rush (Dream Into Dust) to co-create a dark ambient album.
Too disturbing and having too many other influences to be truly ambient music, Dall coined the term "damnbient"; ambient music for (or by) the damned. The sound is a mixture of Neoclassical, Electronic, and Dark Ambient styles. The duo recorded two CDs, *While You Sleep* and *In The Air* for Middle Pillar Presents and contributed tracks to their compilations. Years later, a limited-edition cassette was released on Period Tapes. All those physical releases are sold out.
Their first live show was at the highly-praised MonkeyTown venue performing part of a live score to 16 minutes of the silent film Haxan: Witchcraft Through The Ages.
The third full-length album 'Before Your Eyes' was released by Annihilvs Power Electronix in 2013 to excellent reviews, followed by more live shows."
