Armored Saints? More like Armored Gods!
by Lokiplakia on 6/2/10House of Blues Sunset Strip - HollywoodBehold! The Monolith opened the show, a Local Los Angeles band; cool stoner doom band. Not quite death metal; sweet, trudging riffs. Holy Grail came on after; they are reminiscent of many old school metal bands like Iron Maiden. Not to my liking personally. When The Saint came out it was non-stop metal. The audience couldn't get enough, it was pure calamity from there on out. John Bush was charismatic and incredible; for only doing one show, they packed six months worth of power into it. The entire band rocked it to perfection; never missed a lick. Worth the 6 hour drive to see em and I'll do it again, too!
