ARMORY – Echoes of the Astrolith Full Stream Features New Vocalist C. Rostoff

ARMORY introduced new vocalist C. Rostoff on Echoes of the Astrolith, their fourth album, with a complete stream presented through Decibel. The Swedish speed metal band's announcement pairs the full-album premiere with the supplied cover and ten-song running order.

Rostoff handles the album's nine vocal tracks, while ‘Omens’ is an instrumental. The announcement describes his performance as dynamic and wide-ranging, placing his vocals within the band's space-themed narratives. It also characterizes the record as a darker, heavier development of ARMORY's sound, with song structures that move toward technical territory.

The Gothenburg band have been active since 2012. Their supplied background identifies Judas Priest, Agent Steel and Slayer as influences and places Echoes of the Astrolith after three previous albums and the Black Star EP. That EP serves as the announcement's immediate reference point for the new material, which retains the band's speed metal foundation while emphasizing a more relentless approach.

Suspicious Activities PR's announcement listed October 23 as the planned international release date through Dying Victims Productions. It supplied no release year. The Decibel stream was presented ahead of that scheduled date, giving listeners access to the complete record rather than an individual preview track.

The running order begins with ‘Return Of The True Godz,’ ‘Interceptor Squadron,’ ‘Cosmic Dreams,’ ‘Frequencies Of Terror’ and ‘Omens.’ It continues with ‘Sanity Disposed,’ ‘The Final Invention,’ ‘Spaceworkz,’ ‘Astrolith (Rising)’ and ‘Pillars Of Fire.’ The instrumental occupies the fifth position between the album's two groups of vocal tracks.
