Introduction

Music Style : Mainstream/Gothic/Doom/Metal

Topics of the songs : Love, Lie, Death, Dreams

Founded in: 2005

Label : Dying Empylver

The name DengeL comes from the combination of "Devil" and "Angel"

June 2008: Best vocalist in the Metal Battle 2008 China.

Taken from their Last.FM Profile: The name “Dengel” is a fusion of the word “devil” and “angel”, which shows an idea of ‘devil entwined with angel’. The band is deeply influenced by the essence of goth rock and gothic metal. Their music is a fusion of multiple genres. Bands like H.I.M, Within Temptation, After Forever are also have strong influence on the band.

The band was first established by the vocal Liu Qing. And was formed and named in the early 2005.It was in the end of 2004, the founder member Liu Qing put recruitment ads on the internet for the band.

The first to join was Cui Yanzheng, the current guitar player.(Who’s later called ‘the Boss’ by the band members) He and Liu Qing have a lot in common and have similar recognition of music. After Cui joined the band, a female bass guitar player showed interests in the band, but she didn’t show up at the appointment with Shuo and Cui. Meanwhile, Ye Ming saw the ads in a guitar shop, contacted Shuo and became the bassist of the band. There were also a drum player in Sichuan Province and a guitar player in Shandong wanted to join, but they didn’t come to Beijing due to their own reasons. Though there were some misunderstandings and displeasures, luckily they solved the problems and now they are friends.

It’s always not easy to find someone suitable for the band. But Liu Zhe’s coming brought a favorable turn. By this time Liu Qing had finished recording 2 demos ‘Angles’ and ‘Fall in love with your lies’ with ‘the Boss’…Although there were different opinions in the comments from internet, the members made their efforts to creat more songs rather than low down their pace.
