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 ↴
Of the silence that falls on the future
I won't say - but I believe there is something in my mind
It's hard to expect there will be no surprises
Don't feel - there's a sign of what's coming - we divide
Keep us together
Don't silence our souls
You know my aim is for you to be my last resort
Don't heed the empty mindless call
I don't feel hatred towards you
This is my last remorse
Here comes the ending
Unite - in the mystic world
Unite - in the mystic world
Unite - and overcome
Don't say that the cries of tomorrow are silenced
Don't think like we will be living in ecstasy
[repeat bridge]
[repeat chorus]
[repeat bridge]
Don't feel my agony now
This is my last real hope
Don't heed the empty mindless call
I don't feel hatred towards you
This is my last remorse
Here comes the ending
Unite - in the mystic world
Unite - in the mystic world
Unite and overcome
The lyrics of Angel Dust’s song “Unite” seemingly tackle the idea of the importance of holding together, despite the uncertainty of the future and the fear of being separated or divided. The lines “Don't speak...Of the silence that falls on the future/I won't say - but I believe there is something in my mind” suggests that there might be challenges that lie ahead that are difficult to predict, but the singer chooses to keep them to themselves. It can be inferred that this silence is in fear of the negative consequences that it might bring.
The song then proceeds to encourage people to stick together and overcome whatever obstacle life brings through lines such as “Keep us together/Don't silence our souls/In this dread - ripped apart again,” and the chorus “Unite - in the mystic world/Unite - in the mystic world/Unite - and overcome.” The use of mystic world implies both a sense of escapism and the potential of finding peace, bringing together a sense of adventure and comradery with a primary goal of triumphing over anything that dares to stand in the way.
The lines “You know my aim is for you to be my last resort” suggests that the singer is suggesting to someone that their shared bond is the only thing that can really bring them hope and support, which may be the reason why there is a sense of urgency for everyone to come together before it’s too late. In essence, “Unite” is a song that urges people to come together, support each other, and overcome any obstacle that life puts in their way, suggesting that only in unity can people find true strength.
