American heavy metal icons Armored Saint are pleased to present their new single, “Hit A Moonshot.” The track comes off the band’s upcoming new full-length album, Emotion Factory Reset.

Set for release on May 22 through Metal Blade Records.,“Hit A Moonshot” is a band favorite.

A ‘moonshot’ is a baseball term referencing a homerun that’s hit at a high angle and distance.

An avid sports fan, vocalist John Bush was considering the parallels between sports and entertainment.,“It’s like you knocked something out of the park,” elaborates Bush, “I use a lot of sports analogies because I love sports.

Sports IS entertainment
’Hit A Moonshot’ is inspired by the people who keep landing on their feet.

Like, no matter what the fuck this person does
 Some people just get lucky.

This applies to anyone.

And landing on your feet is commendable.

So, I’m busting balls, but I’m also giving accolades.

Sometimes people can do that all the way to their grave.

Then there are other people who are so good or talented or creative, and they struggle forever.

I don’t think life is balanced all the time, and I don’t think it’s fair.,The album Emotion Factory Reset finds Armored Saint honoring their past while making forward-thinking music rooted in the present.,The band is set to release Emotion Factory Reset on May 22 through Metal Blade Records.

The record will be released on CD digipack (w/ 20-page booklet) and digital formats as well as vinyl in several color variants.
