Dark Angel's current lineup includes guitarists Eric Meyer and Laura Christine, drummer Gene Hoglan, lead vocalist Ron Rinehart, and bassist Mike Gonzalez. In its history, they have gone through many lineup changes, and as of guitarist Jim Durkin's death on March 8, 2023, there are no original members left in the current lineup of Dark Angel, although Meyer (who joined the band in 1984) is the only member to appear on all of their studio albums.
