Released in the early months of 2002, Of Human Bondage marks the final chapter in the second life of German power/thrash/progressive metal band Angel Dust. The band’s first incarnation, active in the 1980s, indulged in a fairly lackluster form of speed/thrash metal that resulted in two LPs. After a long hiatus, Angel Dust returned in the late 1990s with a revolutionized line-up where only drummer Dirk Assmuth and bass player Frank Banx were left from their 1980s incarnation. The new line-up embraced a different sound, retaining some of the ballsy, aggressive pacing and riffage of their speed/thrash days, but combining them with a wider array of influences, ranging from power metal to progressive metal. The end result, which can be appreciated also on Of Human Bondage, is a dark, heavy form of progressive/power metal that nods to bands like Nevermore and Grip Inc as frequently as to acts such as Evergrey, Vanden Plas and Rough Silk.
