When four guys with vision, talent and a shared love the music come together you end up with a musical project like Armorial. Serious and committed musicians, the guys who make up Armorial have all being playing music for many years and drawing on their individual as well as common inspirations, have come up with a sound that is familiar, but not so much as to be plain. The boys certainly do not lack fan support or skill to round up more of it. They are currently hard at work promoting their May 19th show at the Lair @ Metro and the fan response on their various online band profiles is quite promising.

Their particular brand of hardcore/metal can be a tricky to do right, balancing the right sounds in the vocals against the deep double-bass and powerful guitar riffs. With a full EP available to fans online, one can quickly discern that they’ve managed to achieve this in spades, as they prove over and over along each track that they know how to handle the power of their vocals as well as instruments. The track Eyes Held Open showcase their versatility as it offers a variety of guitar sounds, a strong rhythm section and offers the vocalist an opportunity to sing, growl and scream to his heart content.

In addition to their live performances, the band as gotten additional exposure recently as their single We Are Resistance was featured on a compilation CD by BLUNT magazine. Not a bad break for a local up & coming band!
