Following two festival performances - Bangers Open Air in São Paulo, Brazil and Sonic Temple Festival in Columbus, Ohio respectively - heavy metal icons ARMORED SAINT will enter the studio next month to begin recording their long-awaited ninth studio album, tentatively slated for a Spring 2026 release through Metal Blade Records.
In September, the band will join W.A.S.P. for a trio of UK shows before returning to the States to support legendary guitarist Michael Schenker on his My Years With UFO US Tour. ARMORED SAINT will be celebrating the 40th anniversary of their second album, Delirious Nomad, with a five-song micro set of songs from the record throughout the tour.
To further commemorate the cornerstone record, the band is making available a special Delirious Nomad wrapped guitar from Dean Guitars. Each guitar is signed by the band. Presales will be announced in the coming week.

Elaborates vocalist John Bush, "What up, Saints? We want to give you all a heads up with what's happening with us this year. First, we've been writing songs for the upcoming new record, and we are just about done! We are going into 606 Studios next month to record drums for five songs. The plan still stands for an early Spring 2026 release. We have two rad festivals dates in May: Bangers Open Air and Sonic Temple Festival. Then we'll be joining our friends, W.A.S.P., for three shows in Britain in September which includes Newcastle where we've never played and London at the Eventim Apollo -- formerly the legendary Hammersmith Odeon. We are psyched!
"Then we'll do nine more shows in the US in October with one of the best rock guitar players to ever walk the earth: Michael Schenker. We will be doing something special on these particular dates. In conjunction with the 40th anniversary of Delirious Nomad, we will be playing micro sets from that record. We'll play other classic SAINT tunes as well of course!
"Finally, we will do three headlining shows at the end of this tour in El Paso, Texas, where we haven't played since 1984, Las Vegas, Nevada, and at the infamous Glass House for the first time ever in Pomona, California. Lots on the plate. Thanks for all the love as always."
