ARMOUR Sonichouse Tape - American Invasion
ANTI-GOTH 092

armour-cd-nwn
CD
This is pure heavy metal in its most basic form. Armour’s unique ability to craft catchy verses and hard rock hooks is without peer in the modern age. Songs like “Swing of the Axe”, “Speeding into the Night” and “Heavy Metal Drinkers” will have you digging out your old denim jacket in no time. Armour could easily have shared the stage with the likes of W.A.S.P., Accept, Running Wild, Exciter and even Motorhead. Fans of any of the aforementioned bands should stop reading now, grab their shot glasses embrace the sounds of Armour! (from Nuclear War site)

CD

What a wonderful self-release from Chicago's ARRIVER !
In ""Vanlandingham and Zone"" you will find sludge, progressive and hard rock elements altogether, ending in a perfect sum of all these styles. An epic release that tastes of Thin Lizzy, Wishbone Ash and even Hammers of Misfortune (as quoted by metalreview.com 5/6).

"Of the Lining of the Long"" is simply one of our personal fave tracks for 2006! Comes in a simple yet effective cartonbox edition.

Then check the 2 re-mixed and re-mastered demos from 2003 of this respected Chilean horde playing true and raw "battle" heavy metal with an epic feel, especially if you're a fan of bands like OMEN, MANILLA ROAD, GRAVE DIGGER, early MANOWAR, IRONSWORD, PARAGON and GODDESS OF DESIRE.

battlerage_blood
CD

The Axeman is back! BATTLERAGE from Chile play true metal with balls, adding an epic feel to their crushing tunes. On their 3rd full length CD the old teutonic metal influences (GRAVE DIGGER, RUNNING WILD...) took over, but you can still hear their fascination with early MANOWAR or OMEN. If you look for experiments, look elsewhere, but if you like memorable songs, solid riffing and drumming, topped with harsh vocals, check this slab of pure and uncompromising barbaric Heavy Metal! This Warmachine is designed to crush your skulls!
