HAVEN – AGE OF DARKNESS (RETROARCHIVES EDITION)

1991’s Age of Darkness is the second (and final) album from Christian metallers Haven. Before you conjure up images of Stryper, you’d do well to give this one a chance. Where a band like Barren Cross drew its influences from Dio and Iron Maiden, Haven’s sound owes more to a certain Seattle sound (no, not that one). I’m talking about bands like Queensryche, Fifth Angel, and Metal Church. The 2017 reissue of Age of Darkness on Retroactive Records sees this classic album on vinyl for the very first time!
