Description
Originally recorded and released in 1987, Chariots of Iron built upon Apostle's early demo (1984) and White Metal (1985) foundation with greater musical range (faster tempos and added classical elements), refined production, and lyrical depth.
Distributed only through the underground tape network of the late '80s, the album revealed Apostle's growing sophistication and spiritual intensity. Tracks such as "Sword & Shield," "Lake of Fire," and "Lamb of God" combine melodic guitar work, anthemic choruses, and bold biblical imagery-calling listeners to perseverance and spiritual courage. The fiery, explosive heavy metal on Chariots of Iron reflects the armored tank artwork that adorns the cover of this reissue, while the message inside faithfully communicates the unconditional love of God for a broken world. Unavailable for decades and rarely heard outside small circles of collectors, Chariots of Iron now receives it's first official Vinyl release as part of the Retroactive Records Metal Icon Series. Limited to just 200 units. Remastered by Rob Colwell and featuring expanded packaging with contextual notes (12x12 full color insert), this release restores one of Christian metal's best-kept secrets-a powerful reminder of why Apostle's music continues to inspire believers and metal fans alike. For fans of Yngwie Malmsteen, Judas Priest, Sacred Warrior, Stryper, Messiah Prophet and Paradox!
