Heavy metal greatness! They were the big new name in the early 80s. If it were not for the speed metal explosion and Metallica (who opened for them), Armored Saint could have hit the arenas of the world. But they were not harsh enough for the new thrash metal scene, too heavy for the lipstick of the expanding glam scene, and too late after Iron Maiden and Saxon. This does not reduce the quality of their output that has the style and greatness of the likes of Metal Church and Flotsam & Jetsam. In the 90s, their sound incorporated something of the Mind Over Four | Soundgarden approach. Upon their return in 2000, they released fantastic albums that mature that hybridization of metal and more radio-friendly rock, and I totally love it all. The new album Punching The Sky is a masterpiece of engaging and catchy darkness like its two or three predecessors. Armored Saint triplazering forever headbanging til you drop!

01. Graceless - Shadowlands, 2017 CD Album
Raw Skull Recordz - RSR 014
02. Graceless - Where Vultures Know Your Name, 2020 CD Album
Raw Skull Recordz - RSR 039
Doom and death! Let us set that tone for 2021. Graceless provide the avalanche of metallic sludge that everyone needs in order to correctly appropriate the current state of the world. The first album focuses on the death, the second one focuses on the doom and both crush your masked skull under the ruins of the smoldering remains. Fans of Asphyx and Bolt Thrower can't afford to bypass this herd of bulldozers. A little more sophisticated than Coffins, a little less oppressive than Beast Of Revelation, entirely fucking awesome! Begin your new chapter in heavy triplazering doomgasm now! Retaliation of the wicked!

Yo. From the very depths of the 90s, and outfit I was a member of in their last year. This is where Porno Coma began.

Sentinel Beast

01. Sentinel Beast - Depths Of Death, 1986 CD Album Reissue
Marquee Records Ireland - MRI 001
Reissue from 2015
Whenever "80s female-fronted speed metal" is invoked, we all think about Acid, Znöwhite and Détente. Sentinel Beast deserve to be in this reference list as their only album delivers a killer rendition of the genre - heavy, dark, catchy, energetic and simply great. Good production and execution, great songs: we would have enjoyed at least two more albums. The Iron Maiden cover is a ripper, and the whole album is a classic for fans of early Nasty Savage and the aforementioned trio of cult acts. Thrash til zer!

Idolatria

01. Idolatria - Breviarium Daemonicus Idolatrorum, 2015 CD Album
Mater Tenebrarum Records - MT008
02. Idolatria - Tetrabestiarchy, 2020 CD Album
Signal Rex - SIGNAL118
Fast and raw, vicious black metal is what the doctor ordered to crush that meat. Two short albums delivering dirty blasts of expert blackness will delight fans of sophisticated evil not without melodies here and there, although this has nothing to do with the polished sound of symphonic metal in robes. Killer triplazering black death for the ages!
