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) are a power metal/ Speed Thrash Metal band originating from Dortmund, Germany that started off as a typical garage band. Taking their name from a song title off the black metal band Venom's debut album Welcome To Hell, Angel Dust was founded in 1984. Their style was initially heavily influenced by the NWOBHM metal scene and the Bay Area thrash metal scene. They soon found their niche in the speed and thrash metal styles which were widely popular at the time. The 1980s would see two releases from the band: 1986's Into the Dark Past and 1988's To Dust You Will Decay. They proceeded to disband in 1990 because of internal conflicts.
Although all members had gone their separate ways, founding member Frank Banx had no desire to let the Angel Dust name die. Around 1998 Banx, and original drummer Dirk Assmuth, gathered a completely new lineup (including Frank Banx' younger brother Steven Banx on keyboards) to start from scratch. This reincarnation would handle music very differently, shifting dramatically towards power metal, and would consequently gain a solid reputation in Europe.
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 awaited successor from Of Human Bondage."
The band's first two albums are now some of the rarest Metal collectibles in the world. They were reissued unofficially in very limited quantities in late 2002-2003. The reissues have no label or copyright info and have two bonus tracks each.
Dirk Assmuth's sister Anja plays drums in power metal band called Duke.

Centuries
Angel Dust Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That you can't remember
World was like hell,
From sky rained fire
Created to fight and to koll
Till just one survives
To rule the world in the end
Is our final aim
We walked through' the times
Like the wind through' your hair
And you don't know
That we're at your side
We'll gather one day
In a secret place
And battle to the last
To fulfill detiny
Century to century
We ride on the light
From century to century
We fight to survive
Then me and the beast
Stand face to face
Just the clash of the swords
Is reaching my ears
The strongest of all
Is now in my hand Time has come
To take his head
We walked through' the times
Like the wind through' your hair
And you don't know
That we're at your side
We'll gather one day
In a secret place
And battle to the last
To fulfill detiny
Century to century
We ride on the light
From century to century
We fight to survive
The lyrics of Angel Dust's song Centuries is about the concept of immortality and the struggles that come with it. It talks about a group of immortal beings who were born during a time that no one can remember. They were created to fight and kill until there was only one left who would rule the world. However, these immortal beings are not invincible, and they have to fight fiercely for their survival, from century to century. The song talks about the final battle where the singer stands face to face with the strongest of them all, and takes his head, thus becoming the ultimate ruler.
The lyrics are dark and heavy, and it's evident that the song is influenced by rock and metal genres. The use of words like "hell" and "battle" reinforces the intense mood of the song. The lyrics also reflect on the loneliness and isolation that come with immortality. The line "And you don't know that we're at your side" talks about how these immortal beings roam the earth unseen by mortal humans, who are not aware of their existence.
