The REAL Whitesnake!
Symbol Of Salvation is such an amazing album. Love Armored Saint!
Never heard of Illusory. I'll check them out.
I enjoy both versions of Whitesnake so I don't complain about that.
I saw Armored Saint when they did the whole album on tour.
Illusory is absolutely phenomenal. They are from Greece. I have listened to
Crimson Wreath at least once a week for the past three years. It was their third album and the first time I had even heard of the band. Since that time, I've reviewed that album, interviewed the band, named it my favorite album of 2021, gotten two T-shirts with the cover art on it. Bought a 2nd copy of the album. Plus got it on vinyl too. Then I got all three of their albums on cassette. The 2nd album on CD as well. Then earlier this year, I got the reissued edition of their first album on CD (it was out of print beforehand) and I reviewed that. Oh, and I got to see them on livestream concerts twice from Greece. And I have a copy of the album they released when they were still known as Ivory Tower (so rare that I can't even find a photo of the album art online). Plus I'm FB friends with three of the band members. And I was alluded to by one of the guys in a documentary that was done about them that's on Youtube. I like to joke that I'm the unofficial president of their American fan club.
