2022 repress on sunset orange marbled vinyl with insert. Limited300 numbered copies

Throughout the ’80s, you’d be hard-pressed to find an Americanheavy metal band which sounded more British than Armored Saint.While most of their contemporaries seemed preoccupied with thefast-growing thrash metal movement, here was a group of committedpurists who were simply updating traditional metal at its best forthe ’80s generation. By the same token, the band was never able tobenefit from the perks of being associated with a “scene” per se,which might explain their relative obscurity despite consistentlyissuing such quality material. But, for the record, with theexception of 1990’s also stellar Symbol of Salvation, never was thegroup’s bombastic style better represented than on their 1984 debutMarch of the Saint, which is so straightforward a metal record,it’s almost hard to describe. An orchestrated guitar themeintroduces the memorable title track, and further highlights suchas “Can U Deliver,” “Madhouse,” and the astonishing “Take a Turn”are as commendable for their maturity and power as they are fortheir sense of economy. The dual-guitar team of Dave Prichard andPhil Sandoval is simply incredible considering their young ages(too bad they would soon fall out), dueling it out for solo afteramazing solo throughout the disk. The album’s second half isn’tquite as strong as the first, but March of the Saint stillqualifies as an overlooked classic of American metal.
