Armoros

Canada’s thrash metal force was formed in 1985. Influenced by early thrash bands such as Slayer and Dark Angel, the band set out to carve a niche all their own. The band released three demos. Their first two brought some decent attention around the world, with positive reviews in UK magazines Kerrang and Metal Forces. In ’88 completed their debut (and sole) album ‘Pieces.’ The unprepared listener is completely floored by the quality of 'Pieces' – the guitars deliver a firework of fast attacking, galloping or well-paced catchy riffs, well thought-out solos and licks, sometimes played in a murderous thrash twin-guitar style, and the rhythm section does an amazing job too. Although 'Pieces' should have been released by the Seattle label Ever Rat, they went bankrupt and silently returned their master content back to the band. The band’s publishing company were going to shop it around, but they moved to Vancouver and ended up falling apart. Despite that hard blow to the band’s hope and existence, 'Pieces' found its way into the world through tape trading, growing into an underground phenomenon. 'Pieces' finally (and deservedly) saw the light of day in 2015 when it was released by German label High Roller Records.
