Warthur
Armored Saint's Symbol of Salvation presents a sound which for the most part straddles the borderline between the lighter sort of traditional heavy metal and the harder, grittier sort of glam metal or hair metal. It doesn't dive head-first into utter cheesiness the way many glam/hair metal bands did, but at the same time it always seems like it's on the verge of doing so. Whilst it's impressive that Armored Saint were able to turn out an entertaining album in this style in 1991, an era when this particular subgenre was on a downward slide, at the same time I don't think it's quite the sort of album which will get much traction with you if you aren't at least partly open to the particular subgenre it's working in. It's good stuff, but not one of those albums which is going to break down any barriers or blow any minds.
