There are mutliple artists with this name: 1. Angel Dust (originally Angeldust, not to be confused with many other less successful/lasting bands of the same name) is a power metal/ Speed Thrash Metal band originating from Dortmund, Germany that started off as a typical garage band.

After releasing a few succesful albums in the late 90s and early 2000s, a series of line-up changes siginificantly reduced the band's activities. They are however still active, and have "entered the studio (in March of 2006) to record the long
