Iron Angel was a speed metal band from Hamburg, Germany that was active during the mid-1980s and the early 2000s. They started out in 1980 as a school band called "Metal Gods" (a song by Judas Priest) being renamed Iron Angel few years later inspired by a novel about a spirit hunter. Their first Demo was released in 1984, being called Power Metal Attack. They disbanded in the late 80s and reunited in 1999, when they began recording their third album that was to be titled The Rebirth but was never released.
