Armoured Man are a multi-instrumental folk duo from the flatlands of East Anglia.

Rooted in the storytelling traditions of folk songwriting, Armoured Man’s sound fuses English and Celtic folk with elements of alternative rock and the nervy energy of post-hardcore. 

Formed in 2015 in Castelló de la Plana, on the Valencian plain, Adam Thomas and Lewis Berale initially performed as Natives, earning a dedicated local following thanks to their intense, visceral live shows. 

On returning to Essex in 2018, the pair continued to produce songs exploring the dysfunctional relationship between humans and the natural world, as well as between humans and themselves. 

Their first full-length album, Natives, features songs written in Spain and England, and was recorded during the global pandemic of 2020.

This was followed up in early 2021 with their single Peregrine, inspired by JA Baker's seminal novel, released to mark World Earth Day.

Zatopek was released on 21st November 2021, to celebrate the 21st anniversary of the passing of Emil Zatopek, the legendary Czechoslovakian long distance runner.

Following four years of gigging around Essex and East Anglia, Armoured Man released Hind Legs on the winter solstice in 2025. Eagerly and patiently anticipated, their second full-length album explores climate breakdown, geological time, faith, fatherhood and a deeply uncertain future.
