Apostle āĀ White MetalĀ (1985)
(Includes the 1984 Demo EP as Bonus Tracks)
Originally recorded inĀ 1985Ā and released independently on cassette,Ā White MetalĀ captured Apostle at their most raw and determined. From the opening track, Apostle, showcasing Iron Maiden-esque galloping instrumental heavy metal, to the anthemic vocals of āBorn Again,ā Apostle delivers with power, strength, and authority throughout.Ā At a time when ChristianĀ metalĀ was just beginning to find its voice, Apostle stood out for their conviction and authenticity ā playing everywhere from churches and youth centers to clubs and open-air festivals. The albumās fiery guitar work and straight-ahead lyrics reflected the heart of guitarist and vocalistĀ Matt Harding, who viewed heavyĀ metalĀ not as rebellion, but as a vehicle for redemption.
This reissue bringsĀ White MetalĀ to VinylĀ for the very first time, featuring theĀ bandās original 1984 demo EPĀ as bonus tracks. Songs likeĀ āOvercomer,āĀ āThe Teacher,āĀ andĀ āHeās the PowerāĀ showcase Apostleās earliest lineup and the unmistakable energy that would define their sound for decades. "Armageddon" is a must-hear iconic ripping guitar solo track in the vein of "Nagasaki" by Whitecross and "Eruption" by Van Halen!
Fully remastered byĀ Rob ColwellĀ and restored with historical artwork and archival notes,Ā White MetalĀ is more than a reissue ā itās the first official preservation of Apostleās origin story. Part of the exclusive Metal Icon Series collection, the Orange Vinyl comes with a 12x12 full color insert packed including everything music collectors crave. Limited to just 200 copies.
