Armored Saint - Delirious Nomad (1985) [2011 Rock Candy Remastered]

After their celebrated debut LP, for second album “Delirious Nomad” the band and the label enlisted the help of seasoned producer Max Norman (Ozzy Osbourne, Y&T) to provide a polished, crisp sound.

Since opener ‘Long Before I Die’ you can tell this second album is certainly a more refined, more confident effort than its predecessor, with elaborated, polished songwriting.

Great, underrated album tagged as US metal but one that will amaze aficionados to more melodic stuff. If you missed “Delirious Nomad” back then in the mid-80s, give it a proper listen now, you’ll be pleasantly surprised.
