Balaam And The Angel are three brothers who were born in Scotland and grew up on a council estate in Cannock in Staffordshire. They played music together as teenagers but finally formed Balaam And The Angel in the early 80’s inspired at that time by the new scene that was developing around Bauhaus, The Sisters Of Mercy, Southern Death Cult, Theatre Of Hate etc. and a collective experience at the Futurama Festival in Bingley Hall, Stafford in 1981. The band achieved great success in the 80s alternative and rock scenes, signing to Virgin Records for their debut album ‘The Greatest Story Ever Told’, and touring the world with the likes of The Mission, Kiss, The Cult, Aerosmith and Iggy Pop until the release of their last album ‘Prime Time’ in 1993. The period from that point up to the present day has seen some intermittent activity from the band. All three of the brothers have taken time out to explore and develop successful careers outside of the music industry, whilst at the same time maintaining some visibility with their very loyal fan base through a series of carefully selected performances and tours (such as Tomorrows Ghosts Festival, Kirk Brandon Westworld Weekend, The Mission Shindig, and special guest appearances on recent Almighty and Fields Of The Nephilim shows). 2024 saw the warmly received release of the "Forces Of Evil" EP which represented the first release of new music in over 30 years and a concerted return to live touring and public visibility.
