Jeff Duncan (born 28 January 1966) is an American heavy metal guitarist, best known for being a member of Armored Saint and previously Odin. He currently also plays in DC4.

Heavy Metal Music
Heavy metal (or simply metal) is a genre of rock music that developed in the late 1960s and early 1970s, largely in the United Kingdom and United States. With roots in blues rock, psychedelic rock and acid rock, heavy metal bands developed a thick, monumental sound characterized by distorted guitars, extended guitar solos, emphatic beats and loudness. In 1968, three of the genre's most famous pioneers – Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and Deep Purple – were founded. Though they came to attract wide audiences, they were often derided by critics. Several American bands modified heavy metal into more accessible forms during the 1970s: the raw, sleazy sound and shock rock of Alice Cooper and Kiss; the blues-rooted rock of Aerosmith; and the flashy guitar leads and party rock of Van Halen. During the mid-1970s, Judas Priest helped spur the genre's evolution by discarding much of its blues influence,Walser (1993), p. 6 while Motörhead introduced a punk rock sensibilit ...

Revelation (Armored Saint Album)
''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.
