While the best songs are clumped in the middle of the album, the interesting sounds continue to the end. Valor may feature the best guitar solo anywhere on the album but it’s the way that the flutes chug and riff as well as solo that grabbed me. Sendero eterno kicks off with elegaic piano and seamlessly adds guitar and then flute over the top. Lago sagrado starts out industrial goth and progresses to swirling prog keyboards.
Apocalypse Later Music Reviews
Let’s notch off another country on the growing map of bands reviewed here at Apocalypse Later, because Armadura hail from El Alto, right next to La Paz, the capital of Bolivia. They play heavy metal rather than folk metal, but JC Mamami provides a folk element by adding a variety of wind instruments as an enticing backdrop and as a frequent alternating solo with the more expected guitars. And the intro that kicks off the album, Qhantati, is about as close to the sound an Andean Danny Elfman might create as I’ve ever heard.
Armadura aren’t new, having been around since 2005 and still featuring four original members within their six-man line-up. Drummer Chelo Borda joined in 2009, ahead of their debut album, Premonición two years later. Mamani is the new fish, having joined in 2015 before their follow-up, AJAYU, a historical concept album about an indigenous revolution led by Túpac Katari in colonial Bolivia. This is album number three and it sounds very good to me even when Mamani isn’t bringing that extra folk element to proceedings.
The first regular song is Elegia heroica, an appropriately bombastic title for a song that highlights that Armadura’s heavy metal comes with more than a little taste of power metal too. The back end is crisp, Borda providing a tight beat and Marco Sanchez Martinez getting a lot more opportunity on his bass than most metal bassists dream of. They make this upbeat and the flutes add a spiritual edge.
In between, the instruments we tend to think of most with heavy metal do a solid job too. The vocalist is Boris Mendez Cossio, who used to shifted from drums to just vocals in 2008 and he has a strong voice, albeit not one that dominates the way we might expect for heavy/power metal or for the symphonic metal that Destino dips its toes into. He’s happy to support the songs and leave the fancier moments to the twin guitarists, Ivan Mendez Cossio, surely some relation, and Franz Thamez Rossel.
I liked the album from the beginning, but it takes a while to really warm up for me. Extinción and Imperio feel like filler, until Martinez starts showing off with a big bass run in the latter before handing over to one of Mamani’s flutes. The flourishes of these two and their interplay at the end give the song much more of an impact than what’s gone before. It certainly ends much better than it begins.
Martinez gets to introduce the title track with another cool bass run and there’s a bombast here that fits the band really well, with a nice keyboard swell and a neatly teasing riff building into a catchy chorus. And it’s here that things really start to work for me with every one of the six musicians doing interesting things and passing the focus back and forth between them. From here the songs find a host of impressive new sounds.
La senda del guerrero has a neat groove that reminds of a metal take on Kate Bush’s Mother Stands for Comfort. Del norte replaces the metronome drums of that song with a more tribal approach, which is fascinating when mixed with a jazzy piano; it also adds a conversational vocal midway like Armadura are playing in a café. Fruto Ancestral (Mamá Jatha) is as close as they get to folk metal, courtesy of a fantastic guest female voice, prominent flutes and what sounds like a ritual opening dance. Destino starts out all symphonic.
While the best songs are clumped in the middle of the album, the interesting sounds continue to the end. Valor may feature the best guitar solo anywhere on the album but it’s the way that the flutes chug and riff as well as solo that grabbed me. Sendero eterno kicks off with elegaic piano and seamlessly adds guitar and then flute over the top. Lago sagrado starts out industrial goth and progresses to swirling prog keyboards.
There’s a lot here to unpack once it gets going and it surely highlights why Armadura have been doing so well in Bolivia, landing all sorts of gigs that seem particularly unlikely for a metal band: the launch of the live launch of the first Bolivian satellite, the anniversary of the US embassy and the passing through of the Dakar rally. It sounds like they’re not just a solid metal band but a cultural phenomenon in Bolivia. All power to them!

Random Rolls FAQ
A: This item is capable of rolling with random perks when it drops. For example, every time you get a Better Devils from Shaxx, it has the potential to be a slightly different version than others before it — maybe better, maybe worse.
A: The dashed boxes contain the perks that Bungie’s API says are possibilities in each column when the item drops.
A: The perks outside of the boxes are a fixed, “curated” roll from Bungie. Sometimes, that fixed version of the item will drop fully masterworked (see Nation of Beasts or Vouchsafe for examples). Other times, those perks are just for display, such as when you preview an item from your collection.
A: If the item is capable of randomly rolling one of its fixed-roll perks, it will be included in the random rolls section as well.
Community Average Rolls FAQ
A: Community Average Rolls are a way of “crowdsourcing” what the best roll is on each weapon. By scouring the global Destiny population using the Bungie API, we are able to see which perks a wide variety of players select for each weapon. Those stats are presented as the Community Average Roll.
A: As part of this feature, we are now tracking all active players using the Bungie API, not just those who have signed in on light.gg. The statistics displayed here are based on all players that have logged in over the past 2 weeks.
A: Yes and no. Every player should be seen by our scraper. The process will compute stats on items seen in the vault / inventory of players who have granted access to their “non-equipped Inventory”. However, the default Bungie.net permissions only allow us to see the full details on weapons that are equipped by each player’s characters.
A: Partially. Presumably if someone has the weapon equipped, they like it, which would mean that the perks equipped on it are perceived to be better. At the same time, most people are probably dismantling rolls that they think are bad, so even if we could see their whole inventory, we might not catch many “dud” rolls. Overall, the phenomenon of (mostly) only being able to see equipped rolls will reduce the overall number of rolls on less popular weapons, but the perks on those that are visible will likely trend toward being more popular, otherwise people wouldn’t keep the roll, let alone equip it.
A: The bars for each percentage are relative to the most popular perk in that column. The most popular perk will fill its bar, and each perk under that will illustrate how popular it is relative to the most popular. So, if 22% of rolls use the most popular perk in a column and 11% of rolls use the least popular perk, the bar on the least popular perk should appear to be roughly half full. The intent of displaying it this way is to create better contrast between the options.
A: The usage stats are based only on randomly-rolled, legendary weapons.
A: Ranks range from F- to S+, based on how “far” your roll is from the community average roll. A roll with the least popular perk in each column should be ranked F-, and a roll with the most popular perk in each column should be ranked S+.
A: The best way for everyone to help make this tool more accurate / complete is to update your Bungie.net privacy settings to allow API tools to view your non-equipped inventory. The more people that allow full access to their inventory, the more weapons we’ll be able to detect, and the more comprehensive the statistics that fall out of that will be.
Item Sunsetting FAQ
A: Bungie has announced that beginning in Season 12, weapons will have a cap on the power to which you are able to infuse them. We’re calling this process “sunsetting”.
A: There will be one large sunset beginning in Season 12, in which all* legendary weapons and armor from Seasons 1-8 will be retired. After that, weapons and armor will essentially be sunset 1 year after their release.
A: Yes. Bungie has stated that exotics will not sunset. Beyond that, gear from the Last Wish and Garden of Salvation raids will play by different rules than standard armor and weapons, though Bungie has not been fully clear on what those rules will be.
A: Not exactly. This change essentially only matters in activities where power matters, such as raids, Nightfalls, Trials, etc. In most open world activities and standard Crucible playlists, you will still be able to use whatever armor/weapons you want.
Furthermore, Bungie has also hinted that they intend to “re-issue” certain weapons/armor in the future, thus giving them another 12 months in the sun.

Gr1ps Armadura Gi Review
My husband has now closed his blog but that doesn’t mean it didn’t have some great blogs and gi reviews. Below is his review of the Gr1ps Armadura.
Gr1ps are not as well know as some of the bigger brands but they have consistently produced quality gis. They are an Italian company and point out that their gis are designed in Italy. When I saw the Gr1ps Armadura it was a gi that I had to have. It comes in white, blue and black. This Gr1ps Armadura review is of the white version, as I was buying it and I like white gis.I currently have a Gr1ps Secret Weapon, which for an A3 fits me really well. It is a gi I wear regularly, especially for competition class. It is a lightweight gi that has held up to some serious punishment over the few years I have had it. When I saw that Gr1ps had brought out the Armadura I had high hopes for this new gi. Here is my Gr1ps Armadura review.
Armadura is Spanish for armour. It seems the theme of the Armadura is “feel the fear and do it anyway”. Those of you that follow my social media will know I like a good inspirational quote. So this branding definitely appealed to me.

The pants are made from ripstop cotton, which is my preferred fabric. Another little touch I like is that instead of the normal belt loops, they have created a little rope “holder”. Once you have tied your pants, this is a great place to tuck those big loops. I assume this helps with the rope staying tied. But also helps stop toes getting caught in the loops. Yes, this has happened to me more than once.
They have also continued to use the foam string that doesn’t fray. I do prefer the foam, as it seems to grip better. It’s always a massive pain when you have to keep stopping to tie your pants up. This is also covered in branded fabric, that matches the seam tape.
There is also a nice patch on the leg that continues the alligator and inspirational quote theme. Textured to resemble alligator skin it is a nice touch, that also keeps the pants light. Also, the stitching on the re-enforced knee area is meant to carry along the armour theme too.
The knee areas inside the pants are lined with a plain white version of the fabric that lines the jacket. When you look at the pants, it seems that the knee lining will not actually cover the knees when knelt down.
THE JACKET
The jacket is a standard pearl weave fabric. The sleeves of the have some unique stitching on them. This supports the “armour” branding of the gi. It does, however, mean that the sleeves are two pieces. This seemed a little odd at first, as I had never seen another gi do this. But it causes no discomfort or issues with movement. However, with the reinforced stitching on the seams, it is doubtful it will create a failure point. Their website does say that this gi is IBJJF compliant, so this design feature still leaves it competition legal.
There is also a small “feel the fear” alligator patch on the bottom of the lapel. The positioning of the lined areas is good (shoulders and side vents). This feature is carried over from previous gis. However, on the Armadura, the lining has sublimated printing to look a little like alligator skin and the logo and the quote are quite prominent on the side lining. There are reinforcement patches in the armpits and side vents. The collar and lapels are covered in ripstop material. Armadura is embroidered on the left chest down the side of the lapel.
ROLLING
CONCLUSION
In my opinion this a great looking gi. I do like all the little branding points. Along with the lining and the stitching, it makes me feel that they have really thought about the way the gi is put together. Not only to look good but to make it good feel good for the wearer.
This is a premium gi and is priced accordingly. I paid £129.99 from Made4Fighters with free shipping in the UK. Made4Fighters also do international shipping. if you wanted to get it now. You can also buy it directly from the Gr1ps website in Europe it is also available on the Gr1ps USA website. If you like black gis I would definitely have a look at the black version, with gold stitching.
OUR TAKE
Well, to somewhat of a surprise, it seems that Joe has basically finished his character arc homework a couple weeks before it’s due. I mean, that’s technically not true since the fight with Mac is going to be the actual end, but coming to these key decisions of using gear and listening to Sachio about when to throw in the towel are basically the brunt of evidence about how much he’s changed and how far he’s come since both the beginning of this season and the series as a whole. Last season, I brought up quite a bit about the Rocky vibes I got off of him, though that mainly had to do with the Rocky series being the only boxing films I’ve really seen. However, in this case, I definitely see shades of the sixth movie, Rocky Balboa, which would be the last one to primarily star Rocky before the Creed movies started. Joe is no longer that lucky underdog who could dare to go into the ring over and over against powerful advanced machines and beat them just because he wanted to. He’s tired, he’s put his body through hell through both fighting and painkillers, and as much as he loves the fight, he knows his time is done. Though I imagine he’s gonna have fun preparing for this last match before he hangs it up.English Dub Review: Megalobox 2 – Nomad “Cuando te quitas la armadura que no te podías quitar, brotan las semillas de la miseria y de la dicha”
OVERVIEW (SPOILERS)
Joe recovers from his blackout, with the doctor thinking it may be delayed effects from his painkiller addiction and his boxing days. At the party celebrating his recovery, Joe tells everyone that his upcoming fight with Mac will likely be his last and that he’ll be wearing Chief’s Gear into the ring. Meanwhile, Mac’s mental blackouts are getting worse, terrifying his son, so his wife Maya confesses that the BES chip in his head is probably the cause and that she was offered it by Sakuma in exchange for their son’s life saving surgery. Betrayed, Mac confronts Sakuma about the chip, but Sakuma tells him he needs to be a hero and live up to the title he’s finally gained.OUR TAKE
Well, to somewhat of a surprise, it seems that Joe has basically finished his character arc homework a couple weeks before it’s due. I mean, that’s technically not true since the fight with Mac is going to be the actual end, but coming to these key decisions of using gear and listening to Sachio about when to throw in the towel are basically the brunt of evidence about how much he’s changed and how far he’s come since both the beginning of this season and the series as a whole. Last season, I brought up quite a bit about the Rocky vibes I got off of him, though that mainly had to do with the Rocky series being the only boxing films I’ve really seen.

Joe is no longer that lucky underdog who could dare to go into the ring over and over against powerful advanced machines and beat them just because he wanted to. He’s tired, he’s put his body through hell through both fighting and painkillers, and as much as he loves the fight, he knows his time is done. Though I imagine he’s gonna have fun preparing for this last match before he hangs it up.Mac, meanwhile, has got a lot of pain ahead of him before he reaches his apotheosis, mainly in finally coming to terms with how his success story and miraculous recovery have come at pretty great costs. He’s finally at the top, somewhere he never imagined he’d be years ago, but he’s now understanding that it’s required him to become basically Sakuma’s puppet for less than pure ends. The easiest comparison to make here would be with Yuri’s own self-reflection and discovery at around this point in the last season. Yukiko was also using him to show the potential for Gear in both boxing and military use, though it at least seemed to be with mutual understanding of how they were using each other. It was only when Yuri felt the need to take off his gear, which also left its scars when taken off, that their paths diverged rather harshly, but even then she still cared about him quite a bit. But between Mac and Sakuma, there is no such respect or trust, just an apathetic tech mogul using an unfortunate man for his own ends regardless of the consequences and trying to hide the truth as long as possible. I’m still unsure with how I feel about that as a continuation of the last season’s themes, but we have two more weeks to think on that.
