Armored Saint released their Symbol Of Salvation Live CD/DVD in 2021 through Metal Blade Records. The release came in celebration of the seminal album’s 30th anniversary. A record vocalist John Bush refers to as the band’s “cornerstone record,” Symbol Of Salvation Live is a combination live album and video of the band playing the album in its entirety at New York City’s famed Gramercy Theatre during their 2018 tour. It captures the power, diversity, and peerless songwriting contained within. “I felt like showing Symbol… in another light was a great homage to the record itself,” states bassist Joey Vera. “Also, having all the fans be there and part of that event is a way for us to say, ‘Thank you!’ For, without them, we can’t do any of this in the first place.”

Awesome! I hope this is eventually released on DVD!
I think Armored Saint is one of the top “heavy metal bands that should have been famous”. John Bush continues to be a great vocalist after 40 years of being a “Saint”. The band still crushes and releases killer new music. If it wasn’t for the glam era rising in Los Angeles in the early 80’s, Armored Saint could have been HUGE!
