Armored Saint unveil new music video for “Every Man-Any Man”

Armored Saint, the legendary heavy metal band from Los Angeles, has recently unveiled the official music video for their track “Every Man-Any Man.” This song is part of their newest album, titled Emotion Factory Reset, which is now available through Metal Blade Records.

The band’s vocalist, John Bush, shares some insight into the theme of the song, stating, “‘Any man has his price’ is a more familiar phrase and that’s the theme, but we didn’t want to call it that. It was too obvious. We said, ‘How about we call the first part of the line ‘every man-any man’ and then stop there.’ The intro guitar part almost has this Andy Summers/Police vibe. Then [Joey Vera] goes into the cool bass groove. That’s vintage Joey; he’s such a grooving bass player, and it sounds super unique; you probably won’t hear a groove like that from too many metal bands.”

The bassist, Joey Vera, emphasizes the importance of the musical chemistry between him and drummer Gonzo Sandoval, stating that when they are locked in, it takes the band to another level that many metal bands don’t reach. Vera explains, “When those two guys are locked in, it’s pretty awesome, because it’s like they could be playing in the Commodores. That’s the feeling that, I think, is the beauty of ARMORED SAINT; it takes it to another place that a lot of bands can’t go to in the metal world. That’s a perfect example of it.”

Furthermore, Vera mentions his creative process for the song, stating, “I liked the idea of having the verse, music, and chorus be the same music parts, but with different vocal parts. This idea was inspired by a song by the band The Police. I also wanted to add all the kitchen sink ingredients, so there are nods to Foo Fighters, Thin Lizzy, and it all ends with a crushing ARMORED SAINT riff.”

The band’s willingness to experiment with different musical elements and draw inspiration from various sources shines through in “Every Man-Any Man.” Their ability to blend groove, unique bass lines, and crushing riffs sets them apart in the metal world and showcases their musical prowess.

In conclusion, Armored Saint continues to deliver powerful music that resonates with fans and showcases their musical evolution. Their latest album, Emotion Factory Reset, is a testament to their creativity and dedication to pushing boundaries within the heavy metal genre.
