Эта германская группа из Дортмунда была основана в 1984 году. Ее основателями являются басист Франк Банкс и ударник Дирк Ассмутс. На данном этапе компанию им составили два гитариста, Андреас Лохрум и Роман Кеймер, взявший на себя вокальные партии. Свою первую демку под названием "Marching For Revenge" музыканты записали в 1985 году, и благодаря ей вскоре получили контракт от лейбла "Disaster". В 1987-м на свет появился дебютный альбом, "Into The Dark Past", представлявший собой чистейшей воды спид-метал. Тираж пластинки перевалил за 30000 копий, но тут начались проблемы с составом. Кеймера и Лохрума загребли в армию, и оставшимся двоим музыкантам пришлось искать новых партнеров. На роль вокалиста взяли С.Л. Кое а новыми гитаристами стали Винни Линн и Стефан К. Неуер.
Эта конфигурация под предводительством известного в Германии продюсера выпустила свой второй альбом "To Dust You Will Decay". Этот релиз ожидал меньший успех, чем его предшественника. Тому виной были разногласия "Angel dust" со своим лейблом, а также внутренние неурядицы.
После серии концертов вместе с " Blind Guardian", "Tankard", "Paradox", "Sodom", " Destruction" и " Running Wild" проблемы достигли предела. Первым не выдержал Кое и хлопнул дверью. Вслед за ним разбежались и остальные, поставив на "Angel dust" крест. Кое позже был замечен в "Scanners" и "Reactor", а Банкс ушел в "Crows". Франк, правда, не оставлял попыток реанимировать свой старый проект, но долгое время у него ничего в этом плане не получалось. Возрождение "Angel dust" состоялось лишь в 1997 году. "Старичков" на тот момент было лишь двое – Франк и Дирк, а состав был доукомплектован Берндом Ауферманном (гитара), Дирком Тсуришем (гитара, вокал) и братом Банкса, Стивеном (клавишные).
Группа записала промо-CD, и Ассмутс оттащил его своему знакомому из журнала "Rock Hard". Тот не нашел ничего лучшего, как прокрутить этот диск одному из представителей лейбла "Century Media". Ему запись очень понравилась и он захотел немедленно заключить контракт с группой. Тем временем некоторые композиции попали в другие фирмы и на "Angel dust" посыпался целый ряд предложений.
Однако "Century Media".предложила наиболее выгодные условия и взяла команду под свое крыло. Выпущенный в 1998-м альбом "Border Of Reality" имел большой успех, и на этой волне группа выпустила еще парочку неплохих металлических альбомов. Все складывалось вроде бы хорошо, но в октябре 2000 года внезапно заявил о своем уходе Дирк Ассмутс. Его место за ударной установкой досталось Майклу Стикену из "House of spirits". На следующий год команде была предоставлена хорошая возможность поднять свою популярность, побывав в Америке. Ауферманн по некоторым личным причинам отказался участвовать в этом туре, и в срочном порядке был ангажирован новый гитарист, Ричи Вилкинсон.
По возвращении "Angel dust" с гастролей было официально объявлено об уходе Бернда. Заодно выперли и Стикена, поскольку в команду вернулся одумавшийся Ассмутс. Как только проблемы с составом немного улеглись, коллектив вновь вернулся в студию и спустя некоторое время порадовал своих фанов новым качественным альбомом, "Of Human Bondage".
