  • INTERVIEW: Joey Vera of ARMOURED SAINT’s New Album & Aussie Tour Talk 2026

    On Episode 15 of 50 Shades Of Slaids we caught up with Joey Vera of Armoured Saint who are about to release their 9th studio album ’Emotion Reset Factory’ on May 22nd via Metal Blade Records.

    ‘Emotion Reset Factory’ is a must for all Armoured Saint fans as the band continue to evolve their sound and style taking in their collective influences and have created an eleven track record that stays true to the sound and style of the band, along with a few twists. All I can say after a few listens is that it won’t disappoint.

    We talk the writing process of the record and how Vera handled producing the record. Vera has always been heavily involved in the pre-production and final production of Armoured Saint records. This time he almost considered handing the record to someone else to produce. It goes without saying but we dare ask the question of an Australian tour behind this record. 

    Sit back and enjoy The Rockpit’s chat with Joey Vera of Armoured Saint.

    Head to the Armoured Saint website and socials and pre order your copy of ‘Emotion Reset Factory’ today.

    Davy Fresh delivers a powerful and cinematic statement with RUN, a motivational hip-hop track rooted in personal growth and relentless ambition. Blending nostalgic ‘90s storytelling with modern production, the track captures the tension between doubt and determination, pushing forward with urgency and purpose. His delivery feels focused and sincere, carrying the weight of real-life experiences while building toward something bigger.

    With its dynamic energy and vivid narrative, RUN stands as both a turning point and a mission statement—authentic, driven, and designed to inspire movement toward something greater.
