Iconic heavy metallers ARMORED SAINT will reissue their Revelation and La Raza full-lengths on vinyl August 16, 2024 via Metal Blade Records.
Revelation is the fifth studio album from the band, originally released in 2000 on Metal Blade Records, now available for the first time on vinyl in the US. The song “The Pillar” was originally written for the 1992 horror film Hellraiser III: Hell On Earth where the band makes a cameo appearance as a bar band performing the song “Hanging Judge” at the Boiler Room club.
Recalls bassist Joey Vera, “The story for ’The Pillar‘ was that sometime in 1991 we were approached by the producers for Hellraiser to write a song for the end credits of the movie. They had already agreed to give us the song ’Hanging Judge‘ and a part in the film. So we wrote ’The Pillar‘ which later they passed on and instead they decided to go with Hell On Earth by Motörhead. If we’re gonna lose out, better that it’s by Motörhead!”
ARMORED SAINT‘s Revelation was produced by Vera with executive producer Brian
Slagel, mixed by Bill Metoyer, mastered for Vinyl by Patrick W. Engel at Temple Of Disharmony in March 2024. The record will be released on double LP, featuring the bonus track “No Me Digas,” in the following color variants:

Crimson Red Marbled (EU)
