Massive Attack’s “Angel” is a dark, hypnotic masterpiece that epitomizes the group’s ability to fuse atmosphere with tension. Built on a slow, grinding bassline and haunting textures, the track unfolds like a descent into shadow, layering subtle beats and ghostly melodies until it swells into a powerful crescendo.

Horace Andy’s ethereal vocals add both vulnerability and menace, creating a chilling contrast that lingers long after the song ends. Equal parts beautiful and unsettling, “Angel” is a perfect showcase of trip-hop’s brooding intensity and Massive Attack’s genius for turning minimalism into something monumental.
