Additional Notes

Not to be confused with Saint from Chicago, Illinois.

Saint is a Christian heavy metal band who started out under the name The Gentiles in 1981. They recorded their first EP as "Saint" entitled "Warriors of the Son" in early 1984 on Rotton Records.

In 1986 Saint recorded their firast full length Lp on Pure Metal records entitled "Time's End". It was a ground-breaking album for the band and got airplay on many Christian radio stations throughout the US.

In 1988 the band released the album "Too Late For Living" which featured Dee Harrinton on guitar.It also was on the pure metal label and had a more produced and metal sound.

Not long afterward the band broke up and the record company folded and many Saint fans were left wondering why.
But then in 1997 there was a glimmer of hope when Richard and DeAnna Lynch reissued all three Saint albums on a two CD set. Then in 1999 Saint released a full length entitled "The Perfect Life" which was more of a modern sound with a couple of classic sounding Saint songs.Later that year and into the new millennium Saint would work along with M8 Distribution to re-issue "Warriors of the Son" with The Gentiles demo, Too Late for Living and "Times End" with a live show from Cornerstone 1986. Armor Records then picked up the band and re-released remastered versions of the band's first three CD's. Saint returned in February 2004 after a long hiatus with another album, In The Battle.
