We’re sufficiently old to recollect when a metallic band from France or Spain appeared unique. Canada, solely barely much less so. (The Anvil hype of the early ’80s was one thing to behold…) Now the entire fucking world is the “metallic scene.” So allow us to introduce you to hurry metallic purveyors Armoured Knight, from Chile’s Santiago space. Apart from their accented English, you’d by no means have the ability to inform these dudes—Cristian Léon (guitar), Mario Vera (drums), Cristhoper Falk (bass), and José Tapia (vocals)—from, say, NWOBHM latecomers Tokyo Blade or early Helloween. The unique incarnation of the band (relationship again to 2009) featured a feminine vocalist, however this new incarnation, reformed in 2024, is a special beast and The Quest For the Sacred Melody is their full-length debut.

The band had this to say about its long-awaited debut:
“We’ve been engaged on this report for fairly a while, and we lastly really feel we’ve captured the sound we have been in search of. It retains that heavy metallic spirit that first made us begin the band, but it feels genuine, direct, and unmistakably ours. We’re genuinely thrilled about it. it’s full of riffs and moments that really transfer us. It holds on to our unique essence whereas bringing a more energizing vitality; it’s a real reflection of who we’re at present, each as a band and as musicians.”
