Raising Fear is the third album by American heavy metal band Armored Saint. It was released in 1987 via Chrysalis Records.[2] The band recorded the album as a four-piece as guitarist Phil Sandoval had left Armored Saint during the recording of its previous album, Delirious Nomad, although he rejoined the band a few years later.
After Raising Fear was released, Chrysalis dropped the band.[3] This was the last Armored Saint studio album with guitarist Dave Prichard, who was diagnosed with leukemia in 1989 and died of the disease the following year, as the band was preparing for their next album Symbol of Salvation.[4]
