Written by Nightwalker [Metal Archives]
This demo is without any doubt one of the most promising releases of 2007 so far. The foursome who are behind Armour, are all experienced musicians, but what strikes the eye is that all of them used to play (or still play) in black metal bands; the notorious Satanic Warmaster being one of them. Knowing this, an old school heavy metal fan may be a bit sceptical, thinking the music will be some obscure blackish heavy metal sound. Well, nothing is more further from the truth...
Influenced by the godfathers of heavy metal, this album kicks off with one hell of a song, "Speeding into the Night". Tight leather pants, chains and teared up denim jackets is the image that bumped into my head when I first heard it. You're blown from your seat right back into the early eighties! Their over all sound reminds me of the old W.A.S.P. albums, but with more speed elements instead of the melodic glamish sounds, whilst the vocals sound a bit like Accept's Udo, but in my opinion less irritating. Although you can here the influences of those bands, they still keep their pretty much own sound, instead of copying the music of their lovable bands like Bullet does. This is headbanging, beer drinking and shouting from beginning to end, all catchy tunes and possible cult songs, especially "Heavy Metal Drinkers". Even lyric-wise this album is 80s!
Bands like this are pretty rare these days, so they should be cherished and supported. I'm very curious to hear from them again, this demo has been played over a hundred times already. Since they recorded enough material for two albums, it shouldn't take to long... In any case, the band has a very recognisable, yet own sound, which should please old school heavy metal fans, especially of the 80s sound. I hope to see this band on Keep It True or a festival like that, 'cause that's where this kind of bands belong! |
