Iconic heavy metallers ARMORED SAINT, whoâve been hard at work demoing tracks for their upcoming new full-length, will return to the stage later this month as direct support to Queensrÿche! The trek, which commences on March 27th in Anaheim, California, includes twelve ARMORED SAINT headlining shows scattered throughout.Â
Comments ARMORED SAINT bassist Joey Vera, âWe’re super stoked to be going back out on the road with our good friends Queensrÿche! We’ve done several tours in the past and we always have a great time being on the road with these great musicians and friends! We’re looking forward to playing some cities we’ve never played before and also, we’ll be playing some of these dates as headliners! We’ll be pulling out some deep cuts and playing an extended set so we hope to see you come out to all of these shows! We’ve been busy writing new music so keep your ears peeled in the near future for some new SAINT! Until then, we’ll see you up front!

ARMORED SAINTâs most recent studio album, Punching The Sky, was released in 2020. The critically lauded full-length hit worldwide record charts including #4 on Billboardâs Current Hard Music Albums chart, #6 on the Top New Artists chart, #16 on the Top Independent Albums chart, and #17 on the Current Rock Albums chart upon its first week of release.
A diverse, attitude-drenched collection, the record offers everything the bandâs faithful have come to expect from them while pushing their signature sound forward. Â Exploding to life with the crunchy, rousing âStanding On The Shoulders Of Giantsâ and not letting up until the closing ruthless riff of âNever You Fret,â the record is possessed of an urgency and vigor which very much places it in the right now, but could only be the work of bassist Joey Vera, guitarists Phil Sandoval and Jeff Duncan, drummer Gonzo Sandoval, and vocalist John Bush. The record also features a few guest musicians further expanding its sonic palette, the whole thing kicking off with the sound of Uilleann Pipes, Vera finding player Patrick DâArcy in Los Angeles and recruiting him to the cause. Guns âNâ Roses keyboardist Dizzy Reed also contributes, Vera giving both him and DâArcy some general directions and letting them loose, both of them delivering strong performances. The bandâs own Gonzo Sandoval plays an American Indian flute on âNever You Fretâ â a first for ARMORED SAINT and their drummer. Also Jacob Ayala, the son of a childhood friend who is a drum major in high school, added some marching snare on one of the tracks, which really stands out.
