Armada released this 1987 album as a prolific indie band out of Michigan. Armada released three classic albums from 1986-1988. The album is remastered by Bombworks Sound and Rob Colwell. The band released three albums from 1986-1988, Drummer John Heald was a writer for White Throne Magazine under the J Emerson name. John also recorded with and helped the band Xalt. Frontline was the album that catapulted the band into iconic Christian AOR/Metal status. The album was two parts Barren Cross and one part Twisted Sister. There have been plenty of CD-R copies and bootlegs of this album, but Frontline is being reissued by Retroactive Records for the very first time as a legitimate reissue supported by the band. Only three tracks from this classic album were on the 1998 (long out of print) CD release called Hope of Glory in 1998. This is the first time this album has ever been available on CD!
