This Fall Surviving a career spanning four decades, ARMORED SAINT has delivered their brand of uncompromising and passionate metal with charging guitar leads and a propulsive rhythm section with valiance.

It’s truly awesome to be celebrating 40 years of ARMORED SAINT!“ Founding guitarist Phil Sandoval adds, “To fans all around the world, I want to say thank you and I hope that you enjoy these albums again. Throughout our 40 years we’ve had our trials and tribulations, but the one thing that has stood above all else is the music and the fans. And with that said, ARMORED SAINT salutes you with these reissues!“ “Hats off to all of our fans for helping us celebrate 40 years as a band, for without them, we would not have all of this history to celebrate in the first place!” exclaims bassist Joey Vera. “We’re very proud of our entire catalog but these first 3 records that originally came out on Chrysalis records is where it all started. These records have not been available on vinyl for quite some time so we hope you all enjoy these special edition versions of our first three records.“ All three classic albums will be released on CD digi-booklet and multi-colored limited-edition vinyl variants below.
