About: Armored Saint

Formed in Los Angeles in 1982, Armored Saint spent over four decades forging a brand of heavy metal rooted in the NWOBHM tradition rather than the glam scene around them - with vocalist John Bush and bassist Joey Vera at the helm throughout. Their 2026 album Emotion Factory Reset marks the band's ninth studio record and their most recent statement of intent.
