American heavy metal icons and very longtime HardRadio friends ARMORED SAINT are back with a new full-length release Emotion Factory Reset set for release on May 22 via Metal Blade Records. Emotion Factory Reset is the lineup's ninth studio album since 1984's March Of The Saint. "When we start coming up with songs, I always say we can do whatever we want," notes Bush. "Use all our influences through the years, diverse music that we listen to and love, and let that seep in and bring something new out of us. It leads to something more adventurous." The band presents the first single and album opener, "Close To The Bone." Comments Bush, "The first track on the record sounds like vintage Armored Saint. Yet vintage that comes out in 2026! How did we do that?" Watch the video for "Close To The Bone" below:
