Armored Saint return in 2026 with Emotion Factory Reset (Metal Blade Records)-their long-awaited ninth studio album and a powerful follow-up to 2020's Punching the Sky, which stormed the charts and proved the band is still firing on all cylinders decades into their career.True to form, Armored Saint refuse to repeat themselves. Emotion Factory Reset captures a band that continues to evolve while staying rooted in the heavy metal foundation they helped build in the early '80s. The result is an album that feels both classic and forward-moving-driven by sharp songwriting, dynamic arrangements, and the unmistakable voice of John Bush leading the charge.Tracks like "Close to the Bone," "Every Man-Any Man," and "Hit a Moonshot" showcase everything that makes Armored Saint essential: powerful riffs, groove-driven rhythms, and a willingness to push beyond traditional metal boundaries. There's a confidence here-honed over decades-that allows the band to experiment without ever losing their identity.Produced by bassist Joey Vera and brought to life by a top-tier production team, Emotion Factory Reset delivers a modern, punchy sound while preserving the grit and authenticity longtime fans expect. Lyrically, the album explores perspective, resilience, and clarity in a chaotic world-inviting listeners to reflect without preaching, and leaving space for their own interpretation.This Boone's Overstock exclusive edition is pressed on Citrine-colored vinyl and limited to just 300 hand-numbered copies, making it a must-have for collectors and diehard fans alike.Armored Saint aren't chasing the past-they're building on it. And Emotion Factory Reset proves they're still one of the most vital forces in American heavy metal.For Fans Of: Judas Priest / Accept / Queensrÿche / Metal Church / Savatage / Dio / Fates Warning / Saxon / Crimson Glory / Fifth Angel
