This is the second album for Danger Angel and this time the band reinvent themselves with a new sound, a
new style and a new lineup. This new album brings the band into the 21st century and redefines their
identity. Danger Angel brought back Jeff Scott Soto as the producer for this release. Danger angel were
formed in Athens, Greece during 2006. Now in January 2013, Danger Angel release more than an album.
They release their “REVOLUTIA”. They release what they see as a statement for life, for love for change

crisis, between a rock and a hard place, this is what Rock Music is all about!
