Armored Saint

In the 80s, blues rock-tinged US metallers Armored Saint impressed especially Europeans with their four albums, and songs like ”Can U deliver”, ”Reign of fire” and ”Last train home”. The 90s saw the band go on hiatus, and following their (second, more serious) comeback in 2008 get increasingly popular with every album. Their 2026 outing ”Emotion factory reset” has become a triumph, producing new fanfaves like ”Close to the bone” and ”Hit a moonshot”. Singer John Bush (ex-Anthrax), bassist Joey Vera (Fates Warning, ex-Mercyful Fate) and the others will be arriving at Sweden Rock more desired than ever.
