When Angels Kill is the fourth album from the American power metal band Fifth Angel.

For Fifth Angel fans, or fans of melodic power metal, this epic album is simply a “must-have.” Weaving the lyrics and subject matter of the last trilogy of Fifth Angel albums into a double concept record among the likes of Helloween’s “Keeper of the Seven Keys,” Pink Floyd’s “The Wall,” or Queensryche’s “Operation Mindcrime,” “When Angels Kill” is all “killer,” and absolutely no filler.

Each song has been crafted into a standalone work, and the double vinyl, CD, and digital versions are nearly seventy minutes in length. Fifth Angel is back with a vengeance, with standout tracks such as “When Angels Kill, ” “On Wings of Steel, ”We Are Immortal,” “Resist The Tyrant,” and “Empire of Hate.”
