92. October File - Holy Armour From The Jaws Of God
This album was initially higher on my list, and probably really should be. October File sound like NWOBHM meets fuzzy punk rock, but not in a thrashy way. Closer to hardcore with the melodic sense and heaviness of early metal pioneers. If ever Minor Threat carried the bastard son of Motorhead and the child were delivered by High On Fire this is the beautiful child. This album delivers catchy and bold riffs backed by some rather creative drum patterns which make for an interesting backing to Hollyer's gruff yet melodic vocals. Listen or die.
