Armored Saint Debut Music Video For “Every Man-Any Man” From Latest Album ‘Emotion Factory Reset’

Veteran heavy metal band Armored Saint have released a new Robert Graves-directed music video for their track “Every Man-Any Man,” taken from their recently released album ‘Emotion Factory Reset’ via Metal Blade Records.

The new visual arrives just weeks after the album’s release, continuing momentum around the band’s latest studio effort.

Frontman John Bush broke down the song’s concept, noting that its lyrical theme plays on the idea behind the phrase “any man has his price,” while intentionally avoiding the more obvious title.

“‘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.

Combined with [drummer] Gonzo [Sandoval], sometimes the grooves that they combine on are essential to Armored Saint’s sound and have been for years. 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.”

Bassist Joey Vera also shared insight into the track’s structure and influences, highlighting a blend of classic rock and modern heavy elements.

“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 track continues to showcase Armored Saint’s blend of groove-driven metal and classic rock influence, a hallmark that has defined their sound across decades.
