''Revelation'' is the fifth studio album by the American heavy metal band Armored Saint. It was released in 2000 on Metal Blade Records. Armored Saint reformed in the entire ''Symbol of Salvation'' lineup to record ''Revelation'' in 1999 after six years of being disbanded. The result is a traditional heavy metal record and a natural sequel of their previous effort. The limited edition came with a bonus CD including the complete ''A Trip Thru Red Times'' video. "Creepy Feelings", "What's Your Pleasure", and the Japanese bonus track "Shadows" were originally demoed in 1989 with original guitarist Dave Prichard during the writing sessions of what would become the ''Symbol of Salvation'' album, but ultimately did not make the cut. The song "The Pillar" was originally written for the 1992 horror film '' Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth'' where the band makes a cameo appearance as a bar band performing the song "Hanging Judge" at the 'Boiler Room' club.

Leukemia
Leukemia ( also spelled leukaemia and pronounced ) is a group of blood cancers that usually begin in the bone marrow and result in high numbers of abnormal blood cells. These blood cells are not fully developed and are called ''blasts'' or ''leukemia cells''. Symptoms may include bleeding and bruising, bone pain, fatigue, fever, and an increased risk of infections. These symptoms occur due to a lack of normal blood cells. Diagnosis is typically made by blood tests or bone marrow biopsy. The exact cause of leukemia is unknown. A combination of genetic factors and environmental (non-inherited) factors are believed to play a role. Risk factors include smoking, ionizing radiation, petrochemicals (such as benzene), prior chemotherapy, and Down syndrome. People with a family history of leukemia are also at higher risk. There are four main types of leukemia— acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), acute myeloid leukemia (AML), chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and chronic myeloi ...
