Armored Saint Announce “Emotion Factory Reset” Album…Armored Saint will release their brand new album on May 22, 2026. You can listen to the first single, “Close To The Bone,” below:
American heavy metal icons, ARMORED SAINT, are back with their anticipated new full-length release, Emotion Factory Reset, set for release on May 22nd through Metal Blade Records.
Emotion Factory Reset, the lineup’s ninth studio album since 1984’s March Of The Saint, is a resurrection of sorts, a tearing down and a rebuilding in eleven songs of diverse musicality and lyrical themes. Produced, as were the previous four albums, by bassist Joey Vera and mixed by Jay Ruston (Anthrax, Stone Sour) the record finds the quintet challenging themselves. Songs like “Close To The Bone,” “Hit A Moonshot,” and “Every Man-Any Man” have ARMORED SAINT honoring their past as one of the most respected and recognizable bands in heavy music while making forward-thinking music rooted in the present. The new album will be the band’s first new studio album in six years. Their previous album, “Punching The Sky,” was released in 2020.
