Armored Saint - Punching the Sky (FULL ALBUM)

[@Fuelee1975]

Anthrax made me a fan of John Bush, John Bush made me an Armored Saint fan!

[@jimfarrar4925]

Ya brother love Sound of White Noise. And Stomp 442. Been an Anthrax fan for years. This is the shit.

[@jeffarmstrong5410]

Me too

[@briansauer6695]

Haha! Other way around for me. Been listening to AS since they first came out when I was in my teens. What's funny is, I loved Sound Of White Noise, specifically Only, w/o evening knowing who was singing. It wasn't until the late 2000's, when I was sitting around listening to it one night and thought, "I KNOW THAT VOICE!" went through my CD's (thankfully in alphabetical order) and thought about the singers voices of each band. It was then I thought "NO WAY! It's the singer from Armored Saint!" That was a cool moment!

[@Mars-lg2jv]

Same here

[@silviocinti]

Haha same here!!

[@timematters800]

Just hearing this now for the first time! I love John Bush era ANthrax and now im loving him in AS!

[@DarthSkol]

Received my advanced copy of the album on Tuesday, and OMG!!! KILLER album start to finish. Cool riffs, tight rhythms, great production and (of course) the AMAZING vocals from John Bush -- Top Notch!!! Thank You Armored Saint for keeping metal/hard rock alive!!! Support the band and BUY THIS ALBUM!!! Spreading the word...it's the March of the SAINT (again).

[@satanicpanic1313]

The man knows how to sing kick ass fucking tunes! Loved John with Anthrax! "Only" is one of the greatest tunes of all time,

[@RK-iw8jz]

Best music they made.

[@Lyka-clock]

My first show was Quiet Riot Metal Health tour in "83". The opening act was Armored Saint and no one really knew much about them but they came out with full armor on and played hard. I've supported them ever since.

[@midwest1100]

Chicago 80 something...metallica .wasp and saint...these guys were the best then and now as far as I'm concerned

[@Tiamat1156]

I just made the exact comment. Whitesnake was on the bill that night too. Saw them in Toledo Ohio at the old Sports Arena. So many great memories of that place.

[@mgrocki]

Most underrated metal vocalist ever... it's one thing to have great tone and grit, but John's melodies are catchy as hell. so damn good

[@themetalmaiden7462]

Can't wait to see these guys with WASP in November, should be a killer show \m/\m/

[@ShortsMetropolis]

Late 84 at the Tower Theater near Philly, PA. I was 17. I see John Bush standing stage right before the show. I walk over and he was the coolest dude ever. He said, "Get rowdy." They were great that night and likewise this new album is incredible. The commentary on modern society is a cautionary tale. Buy this album and support true heavy metal.

[@rentedtux1883]

I saw these dudes open for Priest in 84/85. I'll never forget it.

[@omniken66]

I seen them in NYC with Metallica and WASP

[@iamdone7094]

in 86 (i believe) i saw Armored Saint at the Hollywood Palladium... Metallica opened for them :)

[@undisputedattitude2902]

ARMORED SAINT dude!!!; the band that never disappoints... John Bush is one of the best singers of all times. In this damn year the only good thing is that excellent albums have been released, but this is my candidate for the best album of the year🤘💀🖤🔥

[@realitygutter9694]

25 years ago while the band was still on hiatus I became a fan and after a while I realized that they've become one of my personal favorites. Not only for the music but the whole attitude, consistency and sincerity. John Bush has always been one of the best Heavy Metal singers of all time (one of my 3 favorite vocalists), and the music feels like it's been written and performed by 30 year olds, still fresh, intense and creative, writing music in nearly 4 different decades. Long Live the SAINT, thank you for everything \m/

[@chickenbeek]

Agreed! \m/\m/

[@jim2973]

Armored Saint have been Kicking Ass since the 1980's!! John and the band never disappoint!! Killer Album!!

[@nicholasmullins3693]

Got a new phone with a screen protector and case, and thought it would be cool to name the device Armored Saint. Then I realized I haven't heard any of their stuff. Looks like I've got some catching up to do.... A band that slays this hard after 35 years has to be good!

[@silvermane5695]

Solid album, John Bush's voice doesn't seem to age with this one.

[@jokinj65]

Got my autographed Cd in the mail yesterday and it does not dissapoint !!!! Easily one of their best albums and certainly the best metal album of this year !!!

John Bush sounds as good as ever. Even after 35 + years, these guys continue to put out excellent albums. Another CD to add to the collection.

[@briansauer6695]

Was watching concert footage from 2018, think it was in France, and was thinking the same thing! The guys voice hasn't changed! Along with Saxon, these guys are one of my favorite bands!

[@Jim-be8sj]

I think I saw this band play live only one time. It was a show in 1987 along with Jag Panzer, Helloween, and Grim Reaper. Amazing that these bands all exist 33 years later. Metal Blade Records used to have the saying "Heavy Metal will never die" on their Metal Massacre compilation LPs. I guess they were correct.

[@jamesmcclung153]

Holy crap! That had to be a killer show. What a line up.😲🤘 I saw them live in 2000-2001 ish. It was right after Revelations came out. Small club in Columbus, OH.

[@bradfhp]

I saw that show in Denver, the first MTV Headbangers Ball. Met Helloween that night. Great memories

[@Jim-be8sj]

@@bradfhp Cool. I was a big Helloween fan at that time. I would have been so envious of your opportunity to meet those guys.

[@CaptainColdyron222]

Armored Saint is a band you can listen to and never skip a track because they all kill.

[@mavericknonconformist69721]

In the mid 80's I saw them W/ Metallica and WASP in Scotia NY in a night club called the Skyway if you can believe that.

That's absolutely right!! Hate when I have to skip one song. Armored Saint it's full lenght all the time.

[@minbari73]

There isn't anything tired or lethargic about this album. Sounds hungry, sounds good.

[@FerusZaz]

La Raza was good. Win Hands Down was fantastic. This? Fucking SPECTACULAR. I've probably listened to this front to back a dozen times since release and it only gets better each listen. So much Symbol of Salvation sound here, but with that modern sound Saint has crafted and arguably perfected in the past decade or so. Every song is ridiculously good, I'd say the only "low points" are My Jurisdiction and Bark, No Bite, but those two are still respectable additions to their catalog. What a stellar album.. I could legitimately see an argument for it being the best album they've ever written. Yes, even against the classics. Easy top 3 or 4 at the least. Keep it up guys.. much love from the Northwest.

[@Tiamat1156]

These guys were the second concert i ever saw. It was them, whitesnake and quiet riot in 1983. I hadn't heard of them at the time but have listening ever since.

[@bluep846]

Sucks how this guys aren't more popular??

[@chrishooper8263]

I've never been one to wish a band was more "popular". It is special when you can enjoy a band like Overkill, Metal Church, or Death Angel in a small setting. Metallica was special in the 80's when no one else listened to 'em & they weren't on the radio. I don't give much thought as to why the ordinary individual loves 'plain vanilla'. It is strange (to me) today to see white kids embracing popular but awful sounding hip hop artists who never learned to play an instrument. Furthermore - I'd rather see a TOOL show at the Fox Theater in Detroit City than at the Toyota Center from a distance. Now - I saw Accept a while back & the turn out was literally saddening. If you're saying that it sucks that these guys aren't perhaps selling a few more 'records' then I think we're in agreement.

[@briansauer6695]

@@chrishooper8263 I say the exact same thing! I rediscovered Saxon in the late 90's and they have become my favorite band, partly for the same reason! Tried to see them twice in the 00's but burned both times. Finally saw them at Blondie's in Detroit, then Toronto 2 days later in 2011. They headline huge metal festivals in Europe, but there wasn't more than 100 people at Blondie's! I was no more than 10 feet from the stage!
