1. After Cherry People disbanded, Punky Meadows and Mickie Jones formed Daddy Warbux, later BUX, which released one album. Angel formed after the two met Gregg Giuffria and then Barry Brandt and Frank Dimino, choosing the name "Angel".

Angel were discovered by Kiss bassist Gene Simmons who secured them a deal with Casablanca Records in 1975. The original members of the band were Barry Brandt on drums, "Punky" Meadows on guitar, Frank DiMino on vocals, Greg Giuffria on keyboards and Mickey Jones on bass. Their self-titled debut album, Angel, released in 1975, was an excellent bit of heavy pomp rock, and their lyrics dealt with battles and events in history. They developed an exciting stage concept which was based on the pure colour of white with various illusions and effects and this won them many fans. Their second album, "Helluva Band", released in 1976, featured one of their best tracks, the lengthy "The Fortune Tower ", was most notable as one of their few tunes to grace the air waves. Our featured album saw Angel adopt a more pop/rock sound and introduced a novel logo which read identically when upside down. Micky Jones was later replaced by Felix Robinson and featured on the follow-up album, "White Hot", also released in 1977, along with On Earth As It Is In Heaven. In 1979, Angel were involved in the movie "Foxes" with Cherie Currie , but were later dropped by Casabalanca because of lack of sales. The group split in 1980 after the "Live Without A Net" live album, with Giuffria forming his own outfit with guitarist Craig Goldy, bassist Chuck Wright and drummer Alan Krigger. Giuffria also later featured in House of Lords.

Angel reformed in the late nineties with two original members: Barry Brandt and Frank DiMino. A new album, "In the Beginning", was released in 1999. The album included contributions from various musicians as well guest appearances by Punky Meadows and Felix Robinson. Since then Angel has continued to tour and has been invited to perform at several major festivals including Sweden Rock and Bang Your Head. The current lineup includes: Frank DiMino, Barry Brandt, guitarist Steve Blaze (Lillian Axe/Near Life Experience), keyboardist Michael T. Ross (Lita Ford/Hardline) and bassist Randy Gregg (Thin Lizzy/Lauren Harris).

In 2008 Lovember Records reissued “On Earth As It Is In Heaven” as a Limited Edition. The album has been digitally remastered and includes a 16-page booklet with liner notes by journalist Dave Reynolds (Classic Rock Magazine/Kerrang), a track-by-track run down by singer Frank DiMino, all lyrics and unreleased photos.

In 2018, Meadows and Dimino toured together under the moniker 'Punky Meadows and Frank Dimino of Angel' performing a set of classic Angel songs and solo cuts. They are backed by a band featuring Danny Farrow on rhythm guitar, Charlie Calv on keyboards, Steve Ojane on bass and Billy Orrico on drums.

Mirrors
Angel Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Face to face with my reflection
The walls are caving in on me
Staring straight inside the mirror
The past is all I'll ever see
Mirrors shattered into pieces I will never find
Digging through the glass is leaving me scarred
Holding onto memories I can't forget and I'm
Tortured by the past, I need to restart

Digging through the glass is leaving me scarred
Tortured by the past, I need to restart
Show me how it feels to belong
Show me how it feels to belong
I just wanna mean something to somebody
Show me how it feels to belong
I just wanna mean something to somebody
Mirrors shattered into pieces I will never find
Digging through the glass is leaving me scarred
Holding onto memories I can't forget and I'm
Tortured by the past, I need to restart
Mirrors shattered into pieces I will never find
Digging through the glass is leaving me scarred
Holding onto memories I can't forget and I'm
Tortured by the past, I need to restart
Show me how it feels to belong
I just wanna mean something to somebody
Show me how it feels to belong
I just wanna mean something to somebody
Show me how it feels to belong
I just wanna mean something to somebody

Show me how it feels to belong
I just wanna mean something to somebody

Overall Meaning

The first verse of Angel's song "Mirrors" tells a tale of a warrior's journey, as he searches for valuable treasures using his magic swords which were owned by many lords. The soldier's path is marked with battle cries that are loud enough to fill the skies and pain felt everywhere. Despite this, the soldier remains focused on his path, finding meaning in the images he sees that seem to shape his destiny. He sees his future, which is reflecting back at him, and he knows that it is inevitable.

The second verse continues with the soldier's journey. His scent and touch are awash with the blood of the warriors he has slain, which haunts him. He feels more of the scars of war and remembers the pain he has inflicted during his conquests. Again, he sees the images that he thinks are shaping his destiny, and he reflects on them. Even though he may be haunted by his past deeds, the soldier must remain focused on his path and his vision.

"Mirrors" is a song that speaks to the journey of warriors and the sacrifices they make for their goals. Through the story of the song, we learn that the way forward is not always easy, but it is necessary to see one's path clearly and be willing to face the consequences of one's actions.

Line by Line Meaning

Magic swords with many lords for treasures that abound me.
I possess powerful weapons and have gained the favor of many leaders in search of riches.

Battle cries that fill the skies with pain.
The sounds of war are deafening and heartbreaking.

Images I see, make my destiny.
My thoughts and visions shape the course of my life.

Reflecting back to me, that which is to be.
What I see in myself and in my surroundings will become my reality.

At first I smelt the blood I felt for warriors that I've slain.
Initially, I was consumed with the thrill of battle and the glory of victory.

Feeling more the scars of war and pain.
Now I am more aware of the lasting physical and emotional wounds that come with war.

Setting sights through horror nights, for ships that sail the sea.
Despite enduring the horrors of battle, I still search for adventure and new opportunities.

So I yearn, the dawns returning fleet.
I eagerly await the arrival of a new day and the opportunities it may bring.

Images I see, make my destiny
My thoughts and visions continue to shape the course of my life.

Images I see, make my destiny
Once again emphasizing the power of my thoughts and visions in determining my future.

Reflecting back to me, that which is to be.
Reiterating that what I see in myself and in my surroundings will become my reality.
