Angel is an American heavy metal band from New York City, formed in 1989. The band was founded and guided by Criss Angel during the explosion of hair metal in the late '80s. The name of the present band was taken as "Angel" when the glam-rock band formed by Punky Meadows and Mickie Jones gradually dissolved after 1981 (with a brief resurgence in 1987), as its founding members drifted off to other projects. The present band disbanded when founder Criss Angel decided to go into the direction of industrial rock, and formed Angeldust (after which he pursued a career in magic and illusion).
