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.

No More Faith
Angel Dust Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Well, I do not believe
'Cause you seem to be someone else
Than you pretend to be
Something crept into your mind
Nimble as a snake
It sells you shit for truth
Do you wonder all the pain
That is hidden within steel
I'll tell you for nothing
You only fear yourself
No more, no more faith
Love or hatred, pain or pleasure
No escape from your sentimental
Treasures, better face the truth
All the money that you spend
For beauty creams and masks
Will never ever hide the scars
That lies left on your face
No more, no more faith
No more, no more faith
The lyrics of Angel Dust's song No More Faith seem to be commenting on the futility of seeking external validation and relying on material possessions for happiness. The opening lines question whether the listener feels good but then go on to express the singer's disbelief in this response. The implication is that the feeling of goodness is not genuine but instead a façade. The singer then warns the listener that something has crept into their mind which is selling them "shit for truth" and preventing them from recognizing what is real. This could be interpreted as a critique of popular culture and the messages that it promotes.
The second verse delves deeper into the theme of self-awareness and acceptance. The singer suggests that the listener may be hiding behind physical beauty products and masks to avoid facing the truth about themselves. The allusion to scars on the face as a metaphor for emotional scars is particularly poignant. The chorus then repeats the phrase "no more faith" which can be interpreted as the abandonment of belief in external factors for satisfaction.
Overall, the song seems to be promoting the idea of authenticity and self-acceptance. It urges the listener to look inward instead of outward for fulfillment and to face the truth about themselves instead of hiding behind masks and material possessions.

If you don't have this album, there's a gaping void in your music library.
@andrewmontemiglio1468
I agree. This was an album that got played in my high school days alot. I think if this album had been released a year earlier before the grunge scene had started it would had been an absolute monster. Its definitely an overlooked classic in my opinion.

I got fired from my job, dumped by my girlfriend, evicted from my apartment, assaulted by a quintet of thirteen year old girls who stole my wallet and not the right one but only the left sock, then shortly thereafter pummeled to near death by an elderly couple who were both under the influence of PCP and Geritol on my 11th birthday. This album was released 20 years later and helped me get through all of that. Thanks.
@nickott158
Maybe my most listened-to album of all time. Still sounds good after 30 years.
