Where this album fits
- Career context
- By the time 'Angels of Death' was released in 1986, Hawkwind was navigating a period of renewal after several lineup changes and a decline in commercial success. This album followed their 1985 record 'The Chronicle of the Black Sword,' which had marked a return to their heavy space rock roots. With 'Angels of Death,' the band aimed to explore more experimental sound textures while still tapping into their signature psychedelic influences.
