During an appearance on Death Angel guitarist Ted Aguilar's "Alive & Streaming" show, Dark Angel drummer Gene Hoglan revealed that the band has been trying to write their first full- ength studio album since 1991's Time Does Not Heal.

Hoglan explained: "We are attempting to write another Dark Angel record. A bunch of things happened outside the music business that just sapped any sort of time, creativity? The time that I had allotted to spend on, 'Hey, I'm gonna be home for a few months here' kind of thing, 'and I'm gonna write the hell out of Dark Angel stuff.' No. I had to take back two months and deal with some stuff that happened outside the biz for me. And so that really just wiped out my creativity. Since this lockdown happened, I haven't been able to get up to L.A. [to get together] with Jim Durkin, who is the legendary creator of Dark Angel. He's back in the fold now. We did Time Does Not Heal without Jim. But we've always found that we work best together when we're just face-to-face. We both have guitars, and then we bought ourselves a little electronic kit, so I can drop a couple of beats and track over that. It's been 31 years since Jim originally left the band. Jim really [built for] himself a really beautiful career [outside the music business], so between his schedule [and] my schedule, it has been challenge. But I'm hoping for the best."

Saw them live in 2015 and they said that the album would be out 'next year' (2016) I'm not holding my breath this will come to fruition anytime soon.

Their discography is perfect as it is. Maybe they universe is telling them to leave it that way.

I think it's better if they don't write any music at all if it sounds like Time Does Not Heal or Leave Scars.

Just tour once the pandemic is over and come to this shithole of country I live in.
