  • During his guitar solos, his fingers are just a blur.
  • Fuentes is around 6' 3" [citation needed]
  • Angel has pioneered a reverse 2 handed tapping technique that has been adopted by a few soloists other than him.
  • He breaks a lot of strings due to his extreme picking style.
  • His vocal style ranges from extreme harsh high notes (kinda like Tom Araya's Angel Of Death intro scream) to deep death metal growls, similar to Chris Barnes.

He was in S.A. Sanctuary, until the band ended in 2011. When initially recruited for the band, he was just the vocalist. Around 2000, he was added to the lead guitarist position to add some more brutality to the music. S.A. Sanctuary officially disbanded during 2011 and is no longer together. They played 1 final show on January 8th 2013 at Korova then finitely ended.[5]
