Originally recorded in 1985 and released independently on cassette, White Metal captured Apostle at their most raw and determined. From the opening track, Apostle, showcasing Iron Maiden-esque galloping instrumental heavy metal, to the anthemic vocals of “Born Again,” Apostle delivers with power, strength, and authority throughout. At a time when Christian metal was just beginning to find its voice, Apostle stood out for their conviction and authenticity — playing everywhere from churches and youth centers to clubs and open-air festivals. The album’s fiery guitar work and straight-ahead lyrics reflected the heart of guitarist and vocalist Matt Harding, who viewed heavy metal not as rebellion, but as a vehicle for redemption.
This reissue brings White Metal to CD for the very first time, featuring the band’s original 1984 demo EP as bonus tracks. Songs like “Overcomer,” “The Teacher,” and “He’s the Power” showcase Apostle’s earliest lineup and the unmistakable energy that would define their sound for decades. "Armageddon" is a must-hear iconic ripping guitar solo track in the vein of "Nagasaki" by Whitecross and "Eruption" by Van Halen!
Fully remastered by Rob Colwell and restored with historical artwork and archival notes, White Metal is more than a reissue — it’s the first official preservation of Apostle’s origin story. Part of the exclusive Metal Icon Series collection, the CD comes packaged in a jewel case with an 8-page booklet including everything music collectors crave. Limited to just 500 copies. For fans of Yngwie Malmsteen, Judas Priest, Sacred Warrior, Stryper, Messiah Prophet and Paradox!
