Album Notes

Two years after the release of their popular 1986 studio album, Time's End, the Christian metal band Saint returned in 1988 with what was arguably their strongest release to date, Too Late For Living. Combining powerful, hard driving heavy metal with convicting apocalyptic lyrics, Saint became one of several Christian bands of the 1980's that were discriminated for their choice to merge biblical Christian themes with hard rock music. While Christian leaders and parents criticized Saint, Christian youth embraced them as Christian metal heroes that were essential components to getting through those impossible teenage years! This album shows up on every list of top Christian metal releases of all time, proving that Saint will always be considered a pillar in the history of Heavy Metal. The album has never been reissued on CD individually. This 2011 Retroactive Records release is packaged in a 6 panel digipak faithful to the original vinyl nine track release and includes a digital remaster that will knock fans off their feet! These songs have never sounded better (nor will they)! Retroactive Records even includes exclusive liner notes from band leader, Richard Lynch for this 2011 reissue! This is part of the Retroactive Records Originals reissues collections that celebrates and enhances the brilliance of the original releases without subpar bonus material! Enjoy this Christian metal classic now more than ever! For fans of Judas Priest, Black Sabbath, and Iron Maiden!
