Written by megarock on April 26, 2026
American heavy metal icons ARMORED SAINT performed their new single, “Close To The Bone”, live for the first time during their concert on Sunday, April 19 at the Rainbow Bar & Grill 54th-anniversary party in West Hollywood, California. Fan-filmed video of the performance can be seen below.
“Close To The Bone” is taken from ARMORED SAINT‘s upcoming full-length album, “Emotion Factory Reset”, which will arrive on May 22 via Metal Blade Records.
“Emotion Factory Reset”, ARMORED SAINT‘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.
