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.

Coming Home
Angel Dust Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't remember, everything
I've gone too far
There ain't nothing left
It started so softly
Couldn't feel anything at all
Ther was no euphoria
Then fellows and me
We tripped day by day
To visit the new world
For the old did decay
My soul's flown away
Left an empty space
I took a view into hell
But I'm coming home
Slave me
Mother - please believe me
I never want you to die
Father, forgive me
Your memory lives in me
My soul's flown away
Left an empty space
I took a view into hell
But I'm coming back alive
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
Please believe me
I'm coming home
Deliver me
The lyrics to Angel Dust's song "Coming Home" can be interpreted as describing a journey of self-discovery and struggle with addiction. The opening lines suggest that the singer has been through a lot and is trying to remember everything that has happened. They feel like they've gone too far and there is nothing left of themselves.
The next lines describe a gradual descent into drug use, starting softly and without any initial euphoria. The singer is aware of the reality that is so close and perhaps what they are doing isn't the right choice. They are tempted to escape to a new world as the old one decays, and the drugs become a way of doing so. The line "My soul's flown away, left an empty space" suggests a loss of self and a feeling of emptiness.
The singer reaches a low point, acknowledging that they have taken a view into hell, and they feel like a slave to their addiction. They then reach out to their loved ones, asking for their forgiveness and understanding. They want their mother to know that they never want her to die, and they hold onto their father's memory as a source of strength. However, in the end, they are determined to come back alive, and they ask for deliverance.
Overall, the song "Coming Home" by Angel Dust is a powerful depiction of the struggles of addiction and the journey towards recovery.
