Armour-Self Titled (2009)


Armour are a heavy metal historical reenactment band, crafting accurate and original recreations of early 80's heavy metal. These dudes inhabit a special place somewhere between the later day NWBHM of Tokyo Blade and Jaguar, and the party hardy glam metal of Ratt and Motley Crue. All of this with a much too shrill yelper who sounds like a refugee from 1987 era Metal Blade, pulling down what would be a perfectly fine metal album. The thrash tinged 'Satan's Knights' stands up to anything in the early 80's pantheon of classics, though.

Rating: 6 out of 10
