Brilliant Chorus. What I love about the 80's scene was it wasn't just glam or thrash. There were loads of mid range bands that were able to mix heaviness with accessible melodies and choruses.
What used to be called Us metal (american metal bands who didn't play neither glam nor thrash metal, but have a "classic"/"traditional" european heavy/power metal sound to it) is the best type of metal IMHO.
Black Trip, a short-lived newer band from about 10-15 years ago or so is a good one even though they're worship and nothing original, the musicians are veterans who've been releasing albums with other bands for years... Witch Cross - Fit For Fight (make sure you listen to the original or a 2018 - 2024 reissue and not the horrible sounding 2012 version which was the first time it got a CD edition so it's the most commonly found version online) or even Tokyo Blade on the rare occasion when they slowed down. @@roby6993
One of my favorite albums its just so perfect not to soft not to hard not to heavy just perfectly balance and so freaking catchy and melodic i wish they whould of done more albums whit this line up especialy after this album
Tonight (09/18/24) is the first time I ever heard this song and of this band. Loved this song right from the start and it brought me right back to those times! I was 13 in 1980 when heavy metal was still underground. Hard rock had been around for a decade, but metal, in the likes of Dokken, Maiden, Priest, Metallica weren't played on many stations. I remember hearing some critics saying that metal won't last and will die in a few years. How much more wrong could they be?!? I am so happy I was there to see the rise of metal to mainstream. It's a grey area between hard rock and metal, but who cares! I just love this stuff and going to have to check more of these guys out!
Adina Damian You aren't kidding! I was fortunate to live all of the music and excesses of the 80s, and still survive! I'm not ashamed to say that if they ever invented a one way time machine back to the 80s, I'd be the first in line!
As a child of the 80s, I have no shame in saying if I could go back, I would in a heartbeat! And Fifth Angel was the best band NOBODY heard of. They should have been as big as any of the Metal bands of the day IMO!
I agree. I still love this music and search out new releases from surviving bands. Newer generations try to do this sound and always come up short (they can't separate their newer influences out).
You got the nobody heard of part right, 1st tie ive listened to them or heard of them right now, so many bands from back then id prob love but just never heard of them
@@ausman05 Yep, even back in the day I came across them more or less by accident. I bought a cassette EP that had a few tracks each from FIfth Angel and Sanctuary's Refuge Denied. I loved Sanctuary so much that this band grew on me.
There's be no 80s metal without the 70s. Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, UFO, Black Sabbath, Thin Lizzy, AC/DC, Rush, Judas Priest and Nazareth ALL paved the way.
Should have been waaay bigger...Especially after that intro song for The Howard Stern Show at the height of hair metal...Solid sound, incredible Guitar work...Stands up today and forever...🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿
Really a great fucking hook. The chorus just popped in my head for no reason after 33 years or so. Looked it up and BAM! Fifth Angel. Not sure what else they did, but this is a great tune.
Imagine RUclips auto playing this and you never heard of this band then you pull up at the dentist and the dude giving you the stank eye and you ask if you need an extraction then dude grabs the still, revs it up and gives you the crazy bugged out eyes and says "Time Will Tell!" ... Would you deal with the toothache or take your chances with Dr Insano?
This album and the band for that matter is criminally underrated. A friend of mine Jim Dofka just did the guitar work on the latest album When Angels Kill and it is also fantastic.
Kendall did. In 2018 he sang and wrote on the 3rd album. Perhaps he cited musical differences as to why he later left the band. The current Fifth Angel lacks Pilot and Bechtel, key figures in the band.@@Freawulf
@@5zazen I know! He wrote some great songs on the Third Secret and his vocal performance was great. Even though I really enjoyed a recent 5th Angel gig in my city (Athens, GR) and I was thoroughly impressed by Steven's live performance, I really wish Kendal was somehow still part of the band...
I was living with a GF and played this song around the house. I was totally in to the song. She asked me what it meant, and instead of answering what the band said, I said without thinking much, "It's just the way I look at us (our relationship)'. She went and immediately looked at the lyrics. We didn't last of course. But this song was dead on the money about it. I didn't intend to breakup at that point, but obviously there were wheels turning to protect myself. This is why this song means a lot to me. I stood and began to fight for myself.
The Production,,, The Melody,,,The Works,,, The Vocals,,, The Guitars ??????? Damn C'mon This today's Musics got a serious Problem !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If we Call That Musics ?
Folks...if you don't have these two releases ....best get them while they can still be found...the second one is already running up in price. Fifth Angel deserves to be in any metal collection.
When I moved to Southern California, I was introduced to Malice, Warrior, Armored Saint, Lizzy Borden, Racer X and the mighty LEATHERWOLF by my co-worker Mike Sanchez. My life would never be the same. Thank you Mike!
When I saw this video many years ago, I thought it was Bon Jovi for a few seconds because I thought the singer looked a bit like Jon Bon with a similar hairstyle and the melodic style of the music. Then I noticed that it sounded so much more metal than Bon Jovi which put an end to my initial impression of it being them. Needless to say, Fifth Angel gained a new fan that day.
This brings back a lot of very, very old memories. I was 13 and an outcast and oppressed. I endured horrible things during my youth and this video was on Headbanger's Ball back in 89 which was my unholy baptism into hard rock or as it was called then Metal. I personally think that hard rock and metal have a lot in common, but Fifth Angel really made me smile with their crossover between hard rock and melodic metal. My best friend at the time was horrified. Everybody went and attacked me for loving them. I had threats against me if I bought their albums. This was what life was like for me then and still is now! As an act of rebellion I would crank this when I saw the video after it was on the old VHS you used to record onto. Back in the days before everything turned bad with music and it became non-music.
That's so awful! Religious or not, no one should go through that kind of abuse just because they love a rock band! I always knew the world was a shit place, greedy politics who want all the money to themselves, bankers making more money than they should then there's ignorant kids who don't care about anyone else and think their best at gaming and go reporting people just because their better than them! What happened to a society without all this shit going on!
Jack Stringer I know. It's still disgusting for me. I was always attacked and still am over some non-issue. If people can't handle that I love Germany including their soldiers in 2015 why can't they grow up! It's things like this- Fifth Angel, Germany, my love for England, my love for most people, that gets me attacked. For no good reason at all! Thank you for finally saying something nice about me on RUclips doesn't happen enough AT ALL! Much love to you Ben
I am so sick & tired of commercial TV advertisers, I require Music the real remedy. Interruptions is like trespassers cutting in front of you in line. 5th ANGEL Rocks It REAL!!
Wow! What an era of memories. It was a special carefree feeling back then. It also helped us metal heads to have so much talent to be proud of. I am so grateful to be from that time period. Hanging out with friends and listening to great hooks like this. Damn how I miss it.
My dad once accidentally downloaded this video onto my old video MP3 player, and I never knew the band, but I always JAMMED. It's so nice to see it in such good quality on a larger screen, rather than a 1.3 inch pixelated screen! The childhood nostalgia is REAL!! 😭🔥🔥🎶
I remember hearing from this band when I was in high school, anyway at the beginning of this song the voice of the singer sounded a little bit like Gary Cherone from Extreme...though it was him LOL
Dude.... I thought I was a wiz at 80s metal. Roxx Gang, Trouble Tribe, Cherry Street, Vain, Hericane Alice, Marcello, Beau Nasty...I thought I knew them all. HOW have I never heard of these guys?!?! My whole metal existence was a LIE 😂.

One song from intro of the Howard stern show. On channel 9. In the early 90s. That’s how I discovered them
Who knows maybe one day the original band will reunite.......for a tour......time will tell.
Someone please bring back the 80's
When it was not illegal for normal Men to ask girls out!
MGTOW
@@adamkane7513 YEAH MAN !!!
X2
Or at the very least TAKE ME BACK.....sick & tired of stomaching & enduring the 2000s.....👎😵😵💫🤬......
Ted Pilot underrated vocalist
whole band underrated
Finally seen Fifth Angel after waiting 34 years in Germany earlier this year
Can’t find a Midnight Love music video
BACK WHEN HEAVY-HARD ROCK EXISTED!
Time Will Tell still rocks in 2024!
I would rank Fifth Angel up there with Malice, Dokken, Judas Priest, Motley Crue and Ratt. This is some of the best '80s Metal you will ever hear.
I agree with you!!!!
Concordo
Kendall is a much better guitarist than any of those bands had IMO.
@@uggadugga8070 isnt the drummer ken mary as well? if so theyre a supergroup of sorts
Ah the 80s best decade ever for music🤘
They don't make good music like this anymore
They really do. You just gotta look out for it. Yeah I heard Ted pilot is now a dentist. I think the lead guitarist well looks like malmsteen
Check out NWOTHM full albums

Man whatever happened to music today, the 80's were definitely the best :) Rock on!
Its starting to come back and i definitely agree.

80's = BEST!
'80s metal definitely ruled....But little did any of us know or see what was coming just over the horizon to essentially decimate all these bands.
But now many of them are back, and I for one will see EVERY ONE OF THEM, no matter if they still sound good or not.
ladies and gentlemen, the incomparable Kendall Bechtel on lead guitar!
Pretty comparable really. A assembly line of these kinda bands and guitar players
that solo was disappointing lol simple and melodic but was waiting for something explosve and ripping
@@jedsteelwell2354you are kidding right
@@chrisdestefano8315sounds awesome to me listen to the focus!
Who are these guys and where have they been all my life? This should have been in my library back then!
Me too!!! I was 13 in 1980 and glad I was the age I was to go through my teen and 20's years through the 80's! So much great music!
Same here.
Time Will Tell 2024
2024 still listening!!!
And likely in 2050🤘🏻
Still listening to fifth angel in 2020
Definitley. And I will still be listening to Fifth Angel in 2021 and so on 🤘
Midnight Love 👍
True, true, and 2021...the true metal never die. Live in our hearts
Gonna be June 2021 soon, can't stop listening. Debut and Time Will Tell albums are practically immortal.
2022 and forever !
Lead axeman Kendalk Bechtel is so underrated!!! By the way, in this video he looks like a blond Yngwie Malmsteen......❤❤❤😊😊😊
I told him this. He thinks he isnt so great. The guy is a master. Look up his channel

These kind of bands was a dime a dozen at one point. Nothing sets this apart at all.

Name them, please!
Omen, Vicious Rumors, Helstar, Crimson Glory, Heir Apparent, Siren, Praying Mantis, Riot, Saracen, etc
Still Rocking fifth angel in 2023 😂❤🤘👆
This song rules. The singer has a great voice.

Still listening to Fifth Angel in 2023
Im 54 and I still listening this music, I know I gettin old, I know, but there is nothing like 80 S GOD BLESS THE 80S
I'm 61 and listen to it every day.......
God bless you
50 and always be a metalhead
There's be no 80s metal without the 70s. Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, UFO, Black Sabbath, Thin Lizzy, AC/DC, Rush, Judas Priest and Nazareth ALL paved the way.

Awesome! To be a teenager in the 80s again.
Should have been waaay bigger...Especially after that intro song for The Howard Stern Show at the height of hair metal...Solid sound, incredible Guitar work...Stands up today and forever...🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿
"I ain't strong, can't take it so well" That is just such a good lyric.

Imagine going to a dentist and ted pilot is your doctor
U get rocked straight away 🤘
Hes known in seattle as a singer at his dentistry office

Good music,,,this send me back to those days when I was a youth
Perfect track ...
Love the first 2 albums. Amazing how pristine and powerful the production is. I mean... 34 years ago? God, I feel old.
They have two new albums. I'd personally recommend them too.
Be thankful you arent one of the twenty something nutcases walking around.
But the music makes you feel young!! Right?
This album and the band for that matter is criminally underrated. A friend of mine Jim Dofka just did the guitar work on the latest album When Angels Kill and it is also fantastic.
What a riff! It will come down in History as one of the greatest ever, for sure!
Kendal bechtel has his own youtube channel guy with red guitar

James Byrd is one of my favorite guitarists. These guys should have been bigger. I listen to their two albums on tape all the time. Hail Fifth Angel !
This was Kendall Bechtel but both are superior players
Damn this is badass mix of Winger Bon Jovi Night Ranger

Good song by them.
El cantante es monísimo y que voz tan bonita me chifla este grupo
Die ersten beiden Fifth Angel-Alben sind mein "Heiliger Gral"
Für mich die besten Metal-Alben jemals!!!
This whole album is flawless in my opinion....I've been waiting for this to be on iTunes.
iTunes 😂🤣🤦♂️
Vinyl, CD or bust. Real Rock/Metal Fans buy their music physical.
Picked up this cassette and like the Kingdom Come album was hooked, loved it, never heard of them before and never again after.😮
When I moved to Southern California, I was introduced to Malice, Warrior, Armored Saint, Lizzy Borden, Racer X and the mighty LEATHERWOLF by my co-worker Mike Sanchez. My life would never be the same. Thank you Mike!
Who?????
❤this!!!!
Criminally underrated 80's rock band.
Fifth Angel is classified as melodic heavy metal.
That riff....
Everybody says the same thing the 80s were the best so many great bands . Steve
Album in my collection, best regards!
True pure real heavy metal🤘... 0:55 Respect to this amazing group!! Long live Fifth Angel.. ❤❤
New Fifth Angel Album June 16th!!
