Rock N Roll Industries magazine conducted an interview with Los Angeles-based metallers ARMORED SAINT at Metal Blade Records's 30th-anniversary show, which took place on November 30, 2012 at the House Of Blues in West Hollywood, California. You can now watch the chat below.

ARMORED SAINT performed a number of cover songs with a variety of guest musicians — including AMON AMARTH's Johan Hegg and FATES WARNING/REDEMPTION's Ray Alder — at the concert, which was hosted by "That Metal Show"'s Eddie Trunk and Don Jamieson. The event also included a short set by Arizona thrash metal veterans SACRED REICH in between GYPSYHAWK and ARMORED SAINT.

The classic first EP from ARMORED SAINT was reissued on August 13, 2012 in Europe via Metal Blade Records with bonus tracks and etching on vinyl.

ARMORED SAINT's latest album, "La Raza", sold around 2,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release. The CD landed at position No. 18 on the Top New Artist Albums (Heatseekers) chart, which lists the best-selling albums by new and developing artists, defined as those who have never appeared in the Top 100 of The Billboard 200. "La Raza" also entered the German Media Control chart at No. 96 and the Canadian Independent chart at No. 85.
