Armored Saint Announce New Album and Tour With Saxon


. Armored Saint has announced that they will release their first new studio album in five years, entitled "Win Hands Down," on June 2nd and they have also announced a string of tour dates with Saxon.

Frontman John Bush had the following to say, "When we began talking about a new record I told Joey Vera (bass) to pretend we were a really huge band and that we could do anything we wanted. At least that was the mindset we should have, from the writing to the production. What came out was Win Hands Down, which is our first record in five years.

"There's everything from classic Armored Saint rocker songs to epic songs and we all dug deep to deliver something special. If we weren't going to, then we shouldn't have bothered. I'm glad we did. In May we are doing some shows in the States with Saxon. It's a great way to get the ball rolling."

Vera adds, "We're very excited about our new record coming out in June! We've been writing over the past year and half and we feel like we've written some amazing music. We can't wait to share it! To get our whistle's wet, we're super excited about doing some warm up gigs before the record release with the legendary Saxon this May! We're doing a total of six shows between the East Coast, Texas, West Coast and we couldn't think of a better way to start off the summer! See you all soon."

The tour dates with Saxon will be kicking off on May 12th in New York City at BB Kings and will include stops in Massachusetts and Texas before wrapping up with shows in Northern and Southern California.
