Angband and Utumno both existed in the Years of the Lamp, but Utumno was his main fortress/base. Angband was just a defense outpost that Sauron was in control of. When the Valar came to attack Melkor, they destroyed the exterior of Angband and left behind much of the underground part. Melkor retreated to Utumno. The Valar captured Melkor and destroyed Utumno. Then, later, after Melkor escaped, he went to Angband which still had its underground. He rebuilt the exterior, raising some mountains as protection. This is now when Angband is his main fortress, and is what most people think of as Angband.
