ARMOURED ANGEL Hymns Of Hate 2CD (2012)

Sydney's Armoured Angel never got the international recognition they deserved, and that's Australia's best-kept metal secret. While the rest of the world was catching up, these guys were already deep in the trenches, blending speed, thrash and death metal into something genuinely nasty and entirely their own.

Hymns of Hate is a posthumous double album collecting the full scope of their recorded output, which means you're getting the complete picture of one of the most underrated bands to ever come out of the Australian underground. Raw, violent, and absolutely uncompromising, this is the document that proves the local scene was never derivative. If you've been sleeping on Armoured Angel, this is where you wake up.

2CD set, 2012 reissue. Australian speed/thrash/death metal.
