Formed in 2009, Chile’s AMOURED KNIGHT are a speed metal band who draw inspiration from such legendary \/ cult '80s bands as Helloween, Savage Grace, Not Fragile, Viper, and Pokolgép. After several attempts to solidify their lineup, they released their debut EP, Prophecy of Tomorrow, in 2013, standing out with their epic, fast, and melodic style. The band’s membership includes such bands as HELLISH, HEMISFERIO, Mortal Whisper, Slicer, Deathsvn, Espada, and ex-Mayhemic. Over the years, ARMOURED KNIGHT have undergone various lineup changes but have always maintained their essence and passion for classic metal. After a hiatus in 2014, they reunited in 2017 with a new formation and released the EP Ashes of Glory and then the EP The Sacred Flame in 2020. Now, with that lineup – Cristian (guitar), Mario Vera (drums), Cristhoper Falk (bass), and José Tapia (vocals) – they are finally gearing up to release their debut album. Titled The Quest for the Sacred Melody, ARMOURED KNIGHT’s first full-length promises to establish them as one of the freshest and most powerful forces in contemporary classic metal. Totaling eight songs in 35 minutes, this new work marks an evolution in their sound, preserving their essence while embracing a more mature, faster, and more energetic approach. Indeed, when ARMOURED KNIGHT get going, they really get going – truly, this is SPEED METAL of a most mid-‘80s vintage – but even when cruising at such unsafe speeds, there’s a bright \u0026amp; dynamic melodicism at the core of their sound, with bountiful, equally bright \u0026amp; dynamic leads stacked healthily atop; the latter can be attributed to a more pronounced power metal influence, namely early Blind Guardian. As such, The Quest of the Sacred Melody is truly titled; the songwriting runs the gamut of heroic to melancholic, but everything’s streamlined for maximum power, all whilst sounding like the same band. What’s more, the gleaming and yet just-rough-enough production truly nails that vintage vibe, especially setting the night on fire when ARMOURED KNIGHT decelerate to a midtempo, such as on the moody \u0026amp; marching “Endless Light.” The time is NOW to begin The Quest for the Sacred Melody!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Season of Mist - International","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53458432622935,"sku":"P-170075-","price":16.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/6500\/8471\/files\/Armoured-Knight-The-Quest-For-The-Sacred-Melody-CD-170075-1-1753176105.jpg?v=1778288193"},{"product_id":"armoured-knight-the-quest-for-the-sacred-melody-lp","title":"Armoured Knight - The Quest For The Sacred Melody - LP","description":"\u003cp\u003eDYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present ARMOURED KNIGHT’s highly anticipated debut album, The Quest for the Sacred Melody, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
