American heavy metal icons, ARMORED SAINT, are back with their anticipated new full-length, Emotion Factory Reset, set for release on May 22nd through Metal Blade Records.

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”

The collaborative nature of Emotion Factory Reset led to the album title, a phrase from Phil Sandoval. “To me, ‘Emotion Factory Reset’ means to reset yourself back to clarity. Take a pause and breathe before you respond or react. You can't control outside events, but you can control your mind,” the guitarist says. “How you interpret things is what hurts you, not the event itself.”

ARMORED SAINT Presents “Hit A Moonshot” Video / Single From Emotion Factory Reset Full-Length

In advance of the record’s release, 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? The title of the record, Emotion Factory Reset appears as the first line of the bridge. Killer riffs, awesome rhythms and attacking vocals gets this train rolling. The title implies the human response to withdraw and keep things to yourself instead of being confrontational; Something I believe we all struggle with as humans. Do you just say, ‘aww, whatever man,’ or do you say, ‘hey, fuck you!’ Depends on the moment I guess.”

Hello, how's everyone doing? Thank you for having me?

11
00:00:52.960 --> 00:00:56.679
Oh my pleasure. And I gotta tell you it's pretty cool.

12
00:00:57.000 --> 00:01:00.920
You got this new album out and I told relate

13
00:01:01.159 --> 00:01:05.879
to Emotion Factory Reset and I read what you kind

14
00:01:05.879 --> 00:01:07.959
of said about it, and I loved it because I'm

15
00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:11.319
also a motivational speaker and I'm a big believer of

16
00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:15.239
it's not what happens to you, it's what your attitude

17
00:01:15.280 --> 00:01:15.879
is towards it.

18
00:01:16.439 --> 00:01:19.560
Sure it, sure is. You know. I listened to a

19
00:01:19.599 --> 00:01:26.359
lot of stoic wisdom Marcus Sirelius Seneca, you know, epatitis. Uh,

20
00:01:26.400 --> 00:01:28.879
but it's helped me a lot actually this year, and

21
00:01:30.200 --> 00:01:35.120
I think, uh, you know, choosing uh positive, choosing peace

22
00:01:35.159 --> 00:01:39.120
over chaos is really important and stuff and happiness is

23
00:01:39.159 --> 00:01:41.879
something that you choose to have in your life. It's

24
00:01:41.879 --> 00:01:45.000
not something you just find, you know, in a person

25
00:01:45.200 --> 00:01:47.719
or anything else. It's like you kind of have to

26
00:01:47.760 --> 00:01:51.159
work at it. Yeah, you know what I mean totally. Yeah,

27
00:01:51.200 --> 00:01:54.319
And as as we get older, I think it's important

28
00:01:54.359 --> 00:01:57.799
to live a fulfilling life, you know, because the past

29
00:01:57.840 --> 00:01:59.640
has gone. In the future, you know, you know, I

30
00:01:59.640 --> 00:02:03.239
have no idea what's going to happen, you know exactly

31
00:02:03.359 --> 00:02:06.239
the way in motion factory reset. It's kind of like

32
00:02:06.400 --> 00:02:11.039
the world kind of needs a factory reset totally, like

33
00:02:11.120 --> 00:02:13.639
with all everything that's going on in the world, and

34
00:02:13.759 --> 00:02:16.400
that's kind of like what the meaning of that is

35
00:02:16.840 --> 00:02:21.800
for me, you know. So that's what we're giving the world,

36
00:02:21.919 --> 00:02:26.159
is this plate of amazing music and hopefully that can

37
00:02:26.280 --> 00:02:28.919
reset your mind to something more positive.

38
00:02:29.879 --> 00:02:32.360
I love it and it's so true too.

39
00:02:32.919 --> 00:02:33.120
You know.

40
00:02:33.199 --> 00:02:36.159
Sometimes it's funny because like I play video games, and

41
00:02:37.159 --> 00:02:39.759
I've often thought a lot of times too, Man, it

42
00:02:39.759 --> 00:02:42.439
would be nice if life sometimes was like a video

43
00:02:42.520 --> 00:02:46.039
game and you just hit the reset button when you

44
00:02:46.240 --> 00:02:48.319
screwed up on a level, and you could just go

45
00:02:48.479 --> 00:02:52.080
start over. And that's what we are able to do

46
00:02:52.120 --> 00:02:53.879
if we put our mind to it, and you know,

47
00:02:53.919 --> 00:02:55.719
it's our attitude towards it.

48
00:02:55.719 --> 00:02:58.159
It totally is. Every every day that you wake up

49
00:02:58.159 --> 00:03:03.319
in the morning, you know, it's grateful because somebody else

50
00:03:03.360 --> 00:03:06.360
in the world did not wake up that day that

51
00:03:06.439 --> 00:03:09.840
you're waking up. They're dead, They're gone, you know, and

52
00:03:09.919 --> 00:03:12.199
that's going to happen to all of us one day.

53
00:03:12.759 --> 00:03:16.520
And so but in the meantime, you might as well

54
00:03:16.599 --> 00:03:18.800
live a fulfilling life, you.

55
00:03:18.759 --> 00:03:23.639
Know, absolutely, So tell us for this new album, what's

56
00:03:23.719 --> 00:03:28.360
your favorite party album besides that message? What's your favorite

57
00:03:28.360 --> 00:03:29.960
part musically of the album?

58
00:03:30.560 --> 00:03:33.360
Believe it or not, it's it's the solo that I

59
00:03:33.439 --> 00:03:37.599
did in Not On Your Life because I was I

60
00:03:37.680 --> 00:03:40.919
got this. I learned this lick from Guthrie gove On

61
00:03:41.479 --> 00:03:44.159
and I would play it. Man, it would be great

62
00:03:44.159 --> 00:03:48.039
if I could put this lick into one of the solos,

63
00:03:48.080 --> 00:03:50.680
you know what I mean. And I was able to

64
00:03:50.800 --> 00:03:53.960
do that, and I kind of felt like I kind

65
00:03:53.960 --> 00:03:58.120
of like achieved something that I wanted to do with

66
00:03:58.319 --> 00:04:02.840
that piece of music. So that's one of the favorite

67
00:04:02.840 --> 00:04:05.919
parts of that. Of course, the two songs that I

68
00:04:06.000 --> 00:04:09.479
was able to get in there were throw Caution to

69
00:04:09.560 --> 00:04:12.919
the Wind and Sladders and Slides, where my brother and

70
00:04:13.000 --> 00:04:16.680
I worked on. But also one of my favorite parts

71
00:04:17.319 --> 00:04:20.800
is that I got some lyrics in there on the

72
00:04:20.839 --> 00:04:24.000
song Moonshot, close to the Bone, Not on Your Life

73
00:04:24.120 --> 00:04:27.759
and buzz Kill because we were on tour with Queen's

74
00:04:27.920 --> 00:04:30.800
Like and I think I gave like John and Joey

75
00:04:30.879 --> 00:04:35.439
like fifty or sixty album titles, you know, and out

76
00:04:35.480 --> 00:04:38.399
of those they picked one, which was buzz Killed. But

77
00:04:38.560 --> 00:04:43.680
in there John told me, you know, Phil, I'm open

78
00:04:43.759 --> 00:04:46.319
to getting some lyrics as well, and I went, oh,

79
00:04:46.439 --> 00:04:50.279
really that He's never said that before. Wow. So yeah,

80
00:04:50.319 --> 00:04:54.079
so I was able. He liked some of my lyrics

81
00:04:54.240 --> 00:04:58.279
and he actually used them on the album, and he

82
00:04:58.399 --> 00:04:59.720
usually doesn't do that.

83
00:05:00.800 --> 00:05:01.319
Wow.

84
00:05:01.839 --> 00:05:04.600
Yeah, he usually does not do that. But he was

85
00:05:04.680 --> 00:05:07.879
open to it, and I took the challenge and I

86
00:05:07.879 --> 00:05:11.120
gave him some ideas and and and they made it

87
00:05:11.160 --> 00:05:14.120
to those those four songs Moonshot, close to the Boat

88
00:05:14.160 --> 00:05:17.759
and Not on Your Life in Buzzkill, and and one

89
00:05:17.800 --> 00:05:23.639
of the lyrics was emotion Factory Reset and that ended

90
00:05:23.680 --> 00:05:26.439
up being the name of the album. So there's another

91
00:05:26.519 --> 00:05:30.600
thing that I'm nice. So there's a lot for me

92
00:05:30.800 --> 00:05:31.160
in there.

93
00:05:31.680 --> 00:05:34.600
See. That's cool how that worked out, and like it

94
00:05:34.680 --> 00:05:39.759
must feel great after like all these decades to be

95
00:05:39.959 --> 00:05:44.759
contributing in ways that you probably didn't contribute to before.

96
00:05:44.920 --> 00:05:47.519
Right right, you know, because our first album was all,

97
00:05:48.000 --> 00:05:50.839
you know, all of us together, David Pritchard rest in

98
00:05:50.920 --> 00:05:54.319
Peace and yeah, all of us five and stuff, doing

99
00:05:54.360 --> 00:05:57.160
it the old fashioned way, but all the lyrics were

100
00:05:58.079 --> 00:06:01.600
were from John, you know. But come to six, some

101
00:06:01.800 --> 00:06:05.240
of the lyrics and those songs are come from my

102
00:06:05.360 --> 00:06:08.879
ideas and stuff. And it's not an ego thing or

103
00:06:08.959 --> 00:06:12.720
nothing like that. It's just what is present of mind

104
00:06:12.839 --> 00:06:17.759
right now and what happened. And I'm very much appreciative

105
00:06:17.879 --> 00:06:18.319
of that.

106
00:06:18.759 --> 00:06:21.600
You know, I love it, and it is something you

107
00:06:21.600 --> 00:06:24.079
should be proud of because I think as a musician

108
00:06:24.920 --> 00:06:27.040
you do want to evolve and you do want to

109
00:06:27.079 --> 00:06:30.000
experiment and do different things, especially when you've been doing

110
00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:30.920
it as long as you have.

111
00:06:31.480 --> 00:06:33.600
Yeah, yeah, and that's something different. I mean, you know,

112
00:06:33.759 --> 00:06:40.279
so I feel, you know, good as a musician and

113
00:06:40.279 --> 00:06:42.439
as a guitar player and stuff that I was able

114
00:06:42.480 --> 00:06:46.680
to contribute more than just this good solo rhythm part

115
00:06:46.759 --> 00:06:50.279
and stuff, and it actually went above that, you know

116
00:06:50.319 --> 00:06:50.759
what I mean.

117
00:06:51.399 --> 00:06:56.120
Nice, you know, and you mentioned Dave. Yeah, rest in peace.

118
00:06:56.800 --> 00:07:00.680
One of my favorite memories of him was was that

119
00:07:00.759 --> 00:07:03.800
one of your shows, and like I always used to

120
00:07:03.800 --> 00:07:07.319
hang out, you know, we guys backstage, and then the

121
00:07:07.399 --> 00:07:10.879
security wouldn't let me through and he came running through

122
00:07:10.879 --> 00:07:13.680
the security, grabbed my arm and just like pulled me

123
00:07:13.839 --> 00:07:17.279
through the security card. He was.

124
00:07:19.360 --> 00:07:23.040
That is Dave right there in a nutshell. He broke barriers,

125
00:07:23.040 --> 00:07:27.120
he broke rules, you know what I mean. It's like

126
00:07:27.639 --> 00:07:32.120
an incredible musician artist he drew. He was very creative.

127
00:07:32.160 --> 00:07:36.199
He could play eruption on the piano, which was find amazing.

128
00:07:36.600 --> 00:07:39.600
You know, everybody's playing it on the guitar, but check

129
00:07:39.680 --> 00:07:41.800
this out. I went to it one time and he goes,

130
00:07:42.000 --> 00:07:44.879
check this out. He could starts playing eruption on the piano.

131
00:07:44.959 --> 00:07:50.160
I'm like, he's wild. That's wild. In twenty twenty six,

132
00:07:50.240 --> 00:07:52.519
I just started playing the piano. I actually picked it

133
00:07:52.600 --> 00:07:56.800
up and really just barely. I'm just barely like learning

134
00:07:57.439 --> 00:08:00.839
the notes and everything, just because it's different than the guitar.

135
00:08:00.959 --> 00:08:03.120
And I kind of want to see how all this

136
00:08:03.360 --> 00:08:07.399
like comes together. You know, I'm not saying that there's

137
00:08:07.439 --> 00:08:09.439
gonna be piano in the next time saying album. But

138
00:08:09.480 --> 00:08:12.839
I'm that I'm just doing it so I could grow

139
00:08:12.879 --> 00:08:13.720
as a musician.

140
00:08:14.480 --> 00:08:16.759
Yeah, totally. And I think it probably would make you

141
00:08:16.800 --> 00:08:19.600
a better guitar player too on top of it, because

142
00:08:19.879 --> 00:08:24.360
it's just a different part to add to it, you know.

143
00:08:24.959 --> 00:08:27.120
Yeah, And I think Eddie van Halen, I know that

144
00:08:27.199 --> 00:08:30.360
he goes, Oh, I never, I mean I never like

145
00:08:30.480 --> 00:08:32.440
learned how to read music and stuff. But I mean

146
00:08:32.519 --> 00:08:36.799
he sure played piano first, and then he won competitions,

147
00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:40.639
the Long Beach Piano competition he won that, So I

148
00:08:40.679 --> 00:08:43.440
don't know, if you know, how could you win that

149
00:08:43.639 --> 00:08:46.320
and not learn how to play read music. But the

150
00:08:46.399 --> 00:08:50.600
thing that I think that his fingers and his ability

151
00:08:50.639 --> 00:08:57.360
to play piano, it helped him in his guitar. Yeah. Yeah,

152
00:08:57.559 --> 00:08:59.879
I'm just hoping that that helps me too.

153
00:09:00.879 --> 00:09:03.480
And the most important part is that you have fun

154
00:09:03.559 --> 00:09:06.480
doing it, because right like being a musician, that's the part,

155
00:09:06.720 --> 00:09:09.559
like everything else is probably not so much fun, the

156
00:09:09.679 --> 00:09:12.679
playing and doing that, that's the fun part.

157
00:09:12.799 --> 00:09:16.720
Yeah, that's the fun part. That is the aspect of

158
00:09:16.840 --> 00:09:20.600
just doing that is the judge the joy, you know,

159
00:09:21.360 --> 00:09:24.360
and creating and stuff like that, that's the joy, you

160
00:09:24.399 --> 00:09:24.919
know what I mean.

161
00:09:25.320 --> 00:09:30.879
Totally totally. And so one story good or bad in

162
00:09:30.919 --> 00:09:33.879
your whole career in music, what would you say it

163
00:09:33.919 --> 00:09:34.240
would be?

164
00:09:35.440 --> 00:09:38.879
Would be like when we opened up for the Scorpions

165
00:09:38.879 --> 00:09:42.080
in ninety one and they had that hit with the

166
00:09:42.120 --> 00:09:49.240
whistling and being in the stadium full of twenty thousand

167
00:09:49.399 --> 00:09:54.600
people whistling that and me like looking up and they

168
00:09:54.639 --> 00:10:00.200
were whistling so so much that there was air are

169
00:10:00.879 --> 00:10:05.600
coming towards us, you know, wow, all like looking and

170
00:10:06.720 --> 00:10:09.000
that moment, it was all dark and they all had

171
00:10:09.039 --> 00:10:12.320
their lighters on and they were whistling that part, and

172
00:10:12.360 --> 00:10:17.679
the Scorpions treated us like teens. You know. Winds of

173
00:10:18.120 --> 00:10:21.960
winds of change, winds have changed. That moment right there

174
00:10:22.399 --> 00:10:26.960
was where I felt just completely like out of spirit,

175
00:10:27.240 --> 00:10:31.080
like you know, and and I kind of got me

176
00:10:31.120 --> 00:10:35.120
a little emotional because it was like a beautiful moment

177
00:10:35.159 --> 00:10:37.159
that I'll never forget.

178
00:10:37.480 --> 00:10:37.840
See.

179
00:10:38.039 --> 00:10:40.399
That's what I love to hear stuff like that, because

180
00:10:40.399 --> 00:10:42.399
that's what makes it all worthwhile, doesn't it.

181
00:10:42.840 --> 00:10:43.080
Yeah?

182
00:10:43.639 --> 00:10:48.759
Yeah, So tell tell us a little bit about what

183
00:10:48.840 --> 00:10:53.240
got you started in music, period, like what and who

184
00:10:53.279 --> 00:10:56.559
started first? You are gonzo like who started or you

185
00:10:56.600 --> 00:10:59.159
do it at the same time when you were little kids.

186
00:10:59.720 --> 00:11:04.000
I think Gonzo did first. Gonzo was friends with John

187
00:11:04.039 --> 00:11:07.759
and Joey, but what started me was Jimmy Page and

188
00:11:07.840 --> 00:11:12.919
as freely. I remember in junior high school, Joey was

189
00:11:12.960 --> 00:11:17.759
playing the guitar. David Avulo rest in Peace was the

190
00:11:18.000 --> 00:11:23.240
local guitar hero, and John sang and Gonzo played drums,

191
00:11:24.039 --> 00:11:27.600
and they did this thing in junior high school and

192
00:11:27.639 --> 00:11:31.200
I was sitting there and I'm going, Man, that's fucking cool.

193
00:11:31.320 --> 00:11:34.279
I want to be part of this, you know, And

194
00:11:34.320 --> 00:11:36.960
so I started kind of taking the guitar a little

195
00:11:36.960 --> 00:11:40.000
bit more serious. I think I was like fifteen. And

196
00:11:40.039 --> 00:11:41.840
then in high school.

197
00:11:41.639 --> 00:11:48.720
We we came up with the band Royal Decree and

198
00:11:48.799 --> 00:11:52.840
we played covers and stuff like that, and it was me, Gonzo,

199
00:11:53.240 --> 00:11:58.799
Joey and John and then and then when we we

200
00:11:58.919 --> 00:12:04.120
left high school, we disbanded, but actually John moved to

201
00:12:04.240 --> 00:12:08.279
South Pasadena High School and Gonzo followed, and that's when

202
00:12:08.320 --> 00:12:14.679
Gonzol met David Pritchard, and then David Pritchard, me and

203
00:12:14.799 --> 00:12:19.919
Gonzo started playing together, and that came to be Armored

204
00:12:19.960 --> 00:12:23.600
Saint because then John Bush joined and then Joey Vera

205
00:12:23.720 --> 00:12:24.679
joined and then that's.

206
00:12:24.919 --> 00:12:30.240
That's kind of like the the Citadel of Armored Saint,

207
00:12:29.480 --> 00:12:32.679
the heart of it. That's how it started.

208
00:12:33.120 --> 00:12:36.799
And here we are, twenty twenty six, brand new album

209
00:12:37.519 --> 00:12:42.799
that like, I listened to the whole album, and man

210
00:12:43.639 --> 00:12:47.759
it is is not only really really good twenty twenty

211
00:12:47.840 --> 00:12:52.000
six medal, but it also brings me back to the

212
00:12:52.039 --> 00:12:55.279
eighties medal. It's like a combination of both. It's like

213
00:12:55.320 --> 00:12:59.320
if you took eighties Armored Saint and modernized it to

214
00:12:59.360 --> 00:13:02.039
two thousand twenty six, that's this album.

215
00:13:02.559 --> 00:13:05.480
Yeah, yeah, exactly.

216
00:13:06.519 --> 00:13:08.919
And like I have in the background here, there's a

217
00:13:08.960 --> 00:13:13.039
bunch of vinyls, so I love all the colors. So

218
00:13:13.159 --> 00:13:16.399
you got a bunch of cool packages that people can

219
00:13:16.440 --> 00:13:18.320
get for the new album when it drops.

220
00:13:18.679 --> 00:13:21.519
Yeah.

221
00:13:21.279 --> 00:13:25.919
Uh, it drops on May twenty second and through Metal

222
00:13:25.960 --> 00:13:28.519
Blade Records. So funny because it's how I got to

223
00:13:28.600 --> 00:13:32.559
your first show, because like it's funny. I said something

224
00:13:32.639 --> 00:13:36.360
Brian a few years ago about this about how he

225
00:13:36.480 --> 00:13:38.799
was like that. I said he was a brilliant marketer,

226
00:13:38.879 --> 00:13:40.919
and he's like, I was just a record store clerk

227
00:13:40.960 --> 00:13:43.639
because me and my friends used to go to OZ

228
00:13:43.679 --> 00:13:47.960
Records and he would go here, check this out, and

229
00:13:48.000 --> 00:13:52.080
then he he showed us the you know, the promo

230
00:13:52.240 --> 00:13:56.360
flyer for that Halloween show with Wasp and you guys

231
00:13:56.399 --> 00:14:00.480
and Headshaker, and we just looked at it like, oh,

232
00:14:00.799 --> 00:14:04.360
we gotta go to that show, and you know, there

233
00:14:04.360 --> 00:14:06.759
it is. The rest is history, I know.

234
00:14:06.960 --> 00:14:12.039
And and it's incredible how Brian Slago was keen to

235
00:14:12.279 --> 00:14:18.159
tap into the Metallica, the Armored Saint, the Brad Marty

236
00:14:18.279 --> 00:14:22.639
Friedman was even in in there. Yeah, and also a

237
00:14:22.679 --> 00:14:26.759
lot of these bands that he he kind of like

238
00:14:27.159 --> 00:14:33.639
helped get on record first, yeah, became something and one

239
00:14:33.639 --> 00:14:41.600
of them became the biggest heavy metal band of all times, Metallica.

240
00:14:40.200 --> 00:14:42.759
Right and I was at their first show ever because

241
00:14:42.759 --> 00:14:43.679
of Brian Slago.

242
00:14:44.279 --> 00:14:49.600
Wow. So now Brian Deslago deserves uh you know, some

243
00:14:49.720 --> 00:14:52.879
kind of mentioned in the Metal Hall of Fame somewhere, and.

244
00:14:53.360 --> 00:14:57.200
No doubt I would. We wouldn't be talking right now,

245
00:14:57.240 --> 00:14:59.360
I think if it weren't for Brian Slago, because I

246
00:14:59.360 --> 00:15:02.519
probably wouldn' be here and who knows where metal would be.

247
00:15:02.960 --> 00:15:07.360
I know, look at that he's still helping us, although uh, Joey,

248
00:15:07.399 --> 00:15:11.240
he's married to the president now, which is Tracy Vera. Yeah,

249
00:15:11.519 --> 00:15:16.840
and look at what happened with that. I mean, it's incredible,

250
00:15:16.919 --> 00:15:20.240
you know what Brian slegl has done, and kudos to

251
00:15:20.320 --> 00:15:23.440
him in the tip of the hat to Brian Sligo totally.

252
00:15:24.240 --> 00:15:27.159
And speaking of Joey, I love too that he just

253
00:15:27.279 --> 00:15:31.519
keeps producing your albums because he's pretty bad ass at that.

254
00:15:31.720 --> 00:15:35.360
And you can tell when you hear the final you know, songs,

255
00:15:35.559 --> 00:15:38.440
of the production quality it sure is.

256
00:15:38.840 --> 00:15:43.720
It's incredible the amount of awesomeness that is Joey Vera.

257
00:15:43.840 --> 00:15:48.480
And we loved him and I appreciate him very much

258
00:15:48.519 --> 00:15:52.240
as as a person, as a bandmate, you know, and

259
00:15:52.320 --> 00:15:56.240
as a business partner and everything else. Really, you know

260
00:15:56.279 --> 00:15:59.159
what I mean totally on top of it's an awesome

261
00:15:59.200 --> 00:16:00.120
bass player.

262
00:16:00.360 --> 00:16:04.440
Right right, Like I remember that first show, I was like, man,

263
00:16:04.480 --> 00:16:07.960
he sounds like Steve Harris. Swear to god, That's what

264
00:16:08.039 --> 00:16:11.960
I thought back then, you know, and still holds true.

265
00:16:12.440 --> 00:16:17.399
So thanks for giving us new music here in twenty

266
00:16:17.519 --> 00:16:21.120
