(1)Angus is a Dutch heavy metal band formed in 1983. Claiming the name was inspired as much by their favorite guitar player, AC/DC's Angus Young, as by their favorite breed of Scottish bull (they claimed that the animal's rugged disposition typified their sound), vocalist Edgar Lois, guitarist Ed Sprey, bassist Gerard Carol, and drummer William Lawson first began tormenting neighbors in their native Amsterdam circa 1983. Typical of most Dutch heavy metal at the time, the band's raw, energetic style was indebted as much by the New Wave of British Heavy Metal as the older regime of the 1970s...and, yes, a little AC/DC as well.
Angus recorded two songs for the compilation album ‘The Heavy Touch’ in the summer of 1985. Together with five other promising Dutch Metal bands ‘The Heavy Touch’ went on tour throughout Holland. ‘Lonesome Fighter’ (a composition of bass player Gerard) was one of the best songs of ‘The Heavy Touch’. The release of the compilation album was considered a success, due to record sales and a lot of media attention.
In the summer of 1986 ‘Track of Doom’ was released. This debut album was produced by the four band members their selves and was full with excellent speed metal, which despite a low budget, did sound very good. Holland was shaking on his boots when ‘Track of Doom’ hit the national radio stations and TV channels. With songs from this album, Angus made it into the Polish metal top 20. Bear in mind that Poland at that time was still a socialist country behind the iron curtain! A new Dutch tour was set and due to promising record sales and positive feedback from fans and media, the album was released at the beginning of 1987 in the USA through Restless/Enigma Records. The label responsible for the success of bands like Poison and Stryper.
In the year 1999 Denis Gulbey of Sentinel Steel Records got in contact with William Lawson via The Dutch Heavy Metal Maniacs, who compile songs from Dutch Metal bands on limited edition CD’s. Denis’s interest in Angus got drummer William’s old Metal heart pumping again. Denis and William tried to find old Angus material. After a while, the master tape of ‘Track of Doom’ was found in the vault of CBS records in Los Angeles. The unmixed reels of ‘Warrior of the World’ were found in the archives of the Dutch Siesta sound studios. These analog reels were converted to digital tapes and were remixed and mastered in the Trax East studios in New Jersey. By that time, Denis Gulbey had signed Angus for the releases of both ‘Track of Doom’ and ‘Warrior of the World’ on one Sentinel Steel production.
April 2007 is Angus after almost 25 years of their start back in track with Leon Z. on vocals, Patrick Kruijer on guitar, Charles Heijnen on bass and William Lawson on drums to set the world again on fire with a reunion concert on december 22th in Germany at a huge festival. Plans are made to create new Angus songs for a brand-new CD.

Angus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There goes the gal in the pretty skirt
With the golden smile that made you feel new
Like when the marching band strolls the street
You know another year?s come too soon
So you took her hand and she gave a look
And there you spoke the words of a gentleman
Can I have this dance with you?
Can I share this dance with you?
Won't you come on home?
I built us a flying machine
And we'll go where you want
And we'll sail the seven seas
I hope all is well in Daisy's dreams
There goes the gal
Yeah, the pretty bird, on the golden mile
That made you feel real
She took with on to the stars
She don't make no big deal
And there she sits with them big old fields
Of daisies and rusty mills
And when the sun, it shines on her hair of gold
She's beautiful, she's beautiful
Won't you come on home?
I built us a flying machine
And we'll go where you want
We'll sail the seven seas
I hope all is well in Daisy's dreams
In Daisy's dreams
The song "Bella" by Angus is a picturesque portrayal of a man smitten by a woman's beauty and charm, expressed through vivid imagery and metaphors. The song begins with the singer noticing a woman in a pretty skirt with a golden smile that brightens up his day. He compares the feeling he gets from her to the excitement of seeing the marching band strolling through the street, signaling the arrival of a new year. The man takes her hand and she reciprocates with a look that sends him to the moon, and he asks her to dance like a true gentleman.
Next, he invites the woman to come with him on a journey, describing a flying machine he has built to take them wherever she wants to go. The chorus repeats itself as he hopes that all is well in Daisy's dreams. The woman, referred to as a pretty bird, takes him to the stars effortlessly, and he marvels at her without any pretensions. The man sees her sitting in large fields of daisies and rusty mills, and the sun shining on her golden hair adds to her natural beauty. The song ends with the man inviting her once again to come home with him, to explore new destinations, and dreams.
