Here we have a double Armored Saint CD made of all rare tracks. On the first recording we have 18 tracks. Some of them are new (the first six), then there are a couple of live tracks from their 2000 tour and then we have a lot of rare tracks extracted from old demos or from their first EP. In fact this is a great opportunity to listen new and old tracks from this classic. Also as a bonus the second CD has a demo track and four videos: two of them played live. Armored Saint is a band that will never dissapoint you if you are looking for heavy metal. As always we have the great John Bush on vocals that gives a lot of quality to the vocal melodies. A classic.

Favorite tracks: "March of the Saint (2001 Version)", "Never Satisfied" and "Creepy Feelings "
