ARMORED SAINT Working On New Studio Album - Dec. 11, 2008

 

Veteran California metallers ARMORED SAINT have issued the following update:

 

"Due to the nature of vague speculation albeit created by your authors here, ARMORED SAINT are officially announcing that they’ve begun writing new songs for a new record due in 2009.

 

"The band lineup is as it was on 2000's 'Revelation' and 1992's 'Symbol of Salvation':

 

John Bush (vocals)

Jeff Duncan (guitar)

Phil Sandoval (guitar)

Joey Vera (bass)

Gonzo (drums)

 

"The band has written close to 12 songs as of now and are ready to enter the recording studio in the next month or so.

 

"Some working titles include: 'Loose Cannon', 'Chilled', 'La Raza' and 'Black Feet'.

 

"The band plans on entering the studio with bassist Joey Vera handling the engineering and producing duties.

 

"SAINT will be headlining one show in Los Angeles at the Key Club on March 6, 2009. Aside from the co-headline tour in Australia in March with DEATH ANGEL and the headlining of the Keep it True festival in Germany in April, the band has no further shows booked at this time. There are a few festivals in Europe during summer being looked at for booking but no confirmations as of yet."

Can't wait to hear it and I hope it's as good as "Revelation"... :banger:

I hope it's better, 'cause I wasn't particularly impressed with "Revelation." I think "Symbol of Salvation" is far superior.

Well hell yeah Symbol is superior it's only one of the top Metal albums of all time IMO. :headbanger:

I was just using Revelation as an example because it was the last studio release, but for the record I was hugely impressed with it. :banger:

OK, I'm not willing to go "top metal album," but I do really enjoy "Symbol of Salvation." "Revelation," however, while bearing excellent production, failed me in the songwriting department like a half-dead coke whore fails to give good hummers. The only track I liked off that CD was "Deep Rooted Anger." Give me the sharp production of "Revelation" with the songwriting prowess of "Symbol" and I shall be a happy headbanger. :banger:

You mean you didn't like the track After Me, The Flood! That is one of the best songs I think Armored Saint ever did.

I liked REVELATION a lot but SYMBOL OF SALVATION smokes it... but hey, if the new stuff is on par with either of those discs I'll be happy. :banger:

Let me clarify: there was nothing on "Revelation" that I thought was outright terrible, but aside from "Deep Rooted Anger" I thought the whole thing sounded like rather generic, dime-a-dozen, why-listen-to-this-when-there's-so-much-better-out-there heavy metal, something "Symbol" could never be accused of. But hey, seeing as how I sold you my copy of "Revelation," I'm glad you're digging it! I spent that $2 on a cup of Dunkin Donuts coffee, which gave me more pleasure than listening to "Revelation" did...

Got me there. I guess I'm glad you didn't like this CD much otherwise I wouldn't be sitting here listening to it right now drinking my own crappy coffee :drink:

Metal Blade has released a demo MP3 of a new Armored Saint song, "Loose Cannon" -- you can download it here for free:

 

http://www.metalblade.com/mp3/Loose_Cannon.zip

 

For some stupid reason the MP3 is in a ZIP file so you'll need AlphaZip or WinZIP or a similar program to crack it open and hear the song. Pain in the ass but it sounds like a decent enough tune (if a bit rough)...

 

N-joy.

      The Angels - Ninety Nine

      By CureTheSane · Posted

      I was a pretty big fan. Nature Of The Beast is a killer song. Saw them with Dave Gleeson from the Screaming Jets singing and he did an amazing job, but pretty sure they have a new singer now  I recently went through the two most recent albums before this one and there were a couple of ok tracks, but mostly mid. Fun fact: I saw the Angels a couple of years before Doc died at the Middle hotel in Ferntree Gully and they seemed to hate each other. Pretty sure Doc said nothing to the crowd all night. Fun fact 2: when they were building the transit bar in Melbourne, a mate and I found a service elevator that went to the roof, which was under construction. After peeing off the roof, which is always fun, we realised that we could clearly hear the music 5 or 6 floors below from a DJ I think. He was playing Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again. We started yelling down the No Way Get Fucked, Fuck Off bit thinking we were hilarious. Then soon we noticed people looking up, and for some reason they seemed to be clearly hearing us. Another mate then called us to tell us security were on the way up the stairs so we took the service elevator down and managed to laugh it off. Stoopid drunk story I guess, but fun days.

      Cheeky, getting your artwork in there. I wonder how you did that.  I like the vocal track on #1 and that'd be my pick. I personally don't dig the female versions of songs, because I'm not a female (yet?) and as these are songs written by ourselves I personally feel the best interpretation is an AI dude voice taking the place of your dude voice.

      Yeah, that's great but this is obviously an accomplished musician probably completely in control of this output... not done with Suno, I'd bet. There's definitely dudes out there who are perfectly capable of doing their own music, like this dude, but for whatever reason might not be able to put a project together, again, for whatever reason... but this definitely feels a lot more like AI feeling in the missing gaps for someone otherwise in complete control of what he wants.  Either way, it is very cool indeed.  As Darkstone says, I'm not sure paying is the way to get the best results. I'm also not saying it isn't, especially with other platforms that are not Suno. I think already knowing what you're doing, musically, is the best way to get best results, personally. Suno, for example, is just perfect for someone who might enjoy writing lyrics but is not in any way shape or form an accomplished (or even adequate, lol) musician.  But yeah, it's pretty cool for some fun. I'm not sure if you checked out my links above. Keeping them pretty quiet due to lyrical content, lol, but you might dig some of the stuff in my links. 'As the moment passes by' and 'I'll wait for you' are two of my personal faves. Along with 'Faith to fall.'

      Yeah, musically it's what you want, but vocally... Maybe Alex should take some vocal lessons from Ken Tamplin. ;}

      Yes, celebrating their fifty years. There only two original members left in the band. Dusty might agree with me the Angels died when the original singer passed away.
