Armored Saint - 'Bandit Country' (official audio)
I don't think that we'll last as burns
But as brigands we can give it a try
Trudging through life's distraction
Here's to some mud in your eyes
Meander in a three dimensional world
In a salad bowl of racial genes
She's knitting my doom with a hook for a hand
And a smirk that's so pristine
Dirt thick as cake batter
Covering wounds and skin
Mother Mary our common thread
And next of kin
Wake up quick
Wake up sick
Bandit bandit
On easy street
A prude beneath my rapist fur
Sweet as a bag of splendor
Quite at home in bandit country
Always told smug aren't ya
To strangers I'm adored to ignored
From pity to pure disgust
We lay in pollute this makeshift bed
But we never ever ride the bus
Fierce like a badger
Snapping from a case of rabies
The launching pad to deliver this load
Is all I see
Wake up quick
Wake up sick
Bandit bandit
King of the street
MIA is my partner in crime
She doesn't feel safe from herself
It's a beautiful twosome that we male
As we fold another hand we've been dealt
Scum of the nation
Scattered and poor
Calls of support are muted
But never premature
Wake up quick
Wake up sick
Bandit bandit
Ain't easy
Bandit bandit
Someone king me
Bandit bandit
Bandit bandit
Bandit of the street
Όπως δημοσιοποίησε η δισκογραφική τους εταιρεία (Metal Blade Records) ο εν λόγω μουσικός δίσκος θα (επαν)κυκλοφορήσει (σε βινύλιο) σε λίγες ημέρες (16 Αυγούστου 2024) χωρίς επιπλέον τραγούδια...

Τον Μάρτιο του 2010 οι Armored Saint επέστρεφαν δισκογραφικά, μετά από μία δεκαετία, με το full length album "La Raza", το οποίο βρήκε θέση τόσο στα καλύτερα της χρονιάς της ιστοσελίδας μας, όσο και στους κορυφαίους δίσκους της πρώτης δεκαετίας "ζωής" του Metal Daze. Παραθέτω απόσπασμα από την (τότε) κριτική μου:
«Οι "άγιοι με τις πανοπλίες" έβγαλαν δίσκο που όχι μόνο δεν ντρέπεται να κοιτάξει το ένδοξο παρελθόν στα μάτια, μα απαιτεί... Κι αν σας προβληματίσει το "συμβατικό" ξεκίνημα κάντε υπομονή, μετά τα δύο - τρία πρώτα τραγούδια ο δίσκος απογειώνεται. Αλλού πιο στακάτος, αλλού πιο μελωδικός (στα όρια των blues). Το ρεφρέν στο ομότιτλο θυμίζει έντονα Priest αλλά είναι τόσο καλό που συγχωρείται, ενώ το επιλογικό Bandit Country μας αποχαιρετά μεγαλοπρεπώς.»
Όπως δημοσιοποίησε η δισκογραφική τους εταιρεία (Metal Blade Records) ο εν λόγω μουσικός δίσκος θα (επαν)κυκλοφορήσει (σε βινύλιο) σε λίγες ημέρες (16 Αυγούστου 2024) χωρίς επιπλέον τραγούδια...
