Armoured Knight - 'Endless Light' (visualizer video)

In the depths where he was born
Plunged in darkest sorrow
Fighting for tomorrow
To reclaim everything what he sowned

Like the fire of a thousand suns
His will burned like the rage of the gods
In this lost kingdom, he found his glory.
In the depths of his fears

Ride to the endless light
Fight across the vast sky

I understood the lonely journey
I forged my sword in the darkest woods of life

Οι Armoured Knight μας έρχονται από την Χιλή. Δημιουργήθηκαν πριν από 16 έτη, αρέσκονται στο Speed / Power Metal και κυκλοφόρησαν ένα demo ("Apocalyptic Warriors" 2012), ένα ep ("Prophecy of Tomorrow" 2014), ένα single ("Ashes of Glory" 2017) και ένα ep ("The Sacred Flame") το 2020 προτού διαλυθούν.

Προ τριετίας, με την μπάντα μη ενεργή, "βγήκε" η συλλογή "A Journey’s End". Πέρυσι οι Armoured Knight επανασυνδέθηκαν και βρίσκονται στην τελική ευθεία για να δουν σε κυκλοφορία τον πρώτο "ολοκληρωμένο" τους δίσκο. "The Quest for the Sacred Melody" ο τίτλος και αναμένεται τον επόμενο μήνα μέσω της δισκογραφικής εταιρείας Dying Victims Productions...

Δελτίο τύπου: «Formed in 2009, Chile’s Armoured 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 & dynamic melodicism at the core of their sound, with bountiful, equally bright & 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 mid-tempo, such as on the moody & marching “Endless Light.” The time is now to begin The Quest for the Sacred Melody!»
