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.

Angel Dust Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All the things I've seen before a million times
It's cold neon light
A stranger on his way
A world, that's always been cold and gray
Just wait another day
Tell me now - Is this the world that you have made for me?
Hold the children for me
That scream in the night because of you
It's empty - no light
You've told me that I am impersonation of humanity
I only want to cease to be
Tell me now - Is this the only world that you have made for me?
Is this all you'll let me be?
Hold me now
Save me from the ghosts that haunt my nights
Don't say goodbye
When the shadows fall down on me in the night
Alone - again
Just for your love I will be undead for all eternity
You're watching over me
Lovely creature - darkest night
Come back again to me
It's just like you...were once before
[repeat bridge]
[repeat chorus]
Don't tell me now that this is the only world - oh no
Don't tell me about your point of view
Save it for someone else - what to do
Alone again
The song "Disbeliever" by Angel Dust poetically explores a sense of disillusionment and despair in the face of a world that feels cold, gray, and empty. Through vivid imagery, the lyrics suggest a protagonist who is wandering through a cityscape filled with neon lights and strangers, all while grappling with feelings of alienation and existential dread. The song opens with the lines, "I'm walking and watching / All the things I've seen before a million times / It's cold neon light / A stranger on his way / A world, that's always been cold and gray / Just wait another day". These lyrics set the stage for the rest of the song, which alternates between moments of anger and pleading as the singer confronts an unseen entity that has created and sustained this desolate world.
The chorus of the song repeats the lines, "Tell me now - Is this the world that you have made for me? / Is this all you'll let me be? / Don't tell me now that this is the only world - oh no / Don't tell me about your point of view / Save it for someone else - what to do / Alone again". Here, the singer seems to be demanding answers from either an unknowable deity or a more earthly authority figure who they feel responsible for their circumstances. The song also mentions "children that scream in the night because of you," signalling a larger critique of the world's oppressive systems and their impact on vulnerable members of society.
Overall, "Disbeliever" is a haunting and deeply emotive song that captures a sense of fear and disillusionment that is both personal and universal. The vivid imagery and plaintive vocals create an atmosphere of despair that is hard to shake, even after the song has ended.
