Additional Notes
Formerly known as Power Age (1977-1981), the band was renamed Arkangel in October, 1981. Rogelio Sánchez played bass on Power Age, not in Arkangel. Between 2005 and 2007, Paul Gillman reunited with Arkangel to play live. During those years vocalist Luis González was still an official member of the band.
