Armored Saint - Hit a Moonshot (Official Video)

Buy here: http://www.metalblade.com/armoredsaint "Emotion Factory Reset," the lineup’s ninth studio album since 1984’s March Of The Saint, is a resurrection of sorts, a tearing down and a rebuilding in eleven songs of diverse musicality and lyrical themes. Produced, as were the previous four albums, by bassist Joey Vera and mixed by Jay Ruston (Anthrax, Stone Sour) the record finds the quintet challenging themselves. “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 **** 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. “It has a ferocious riff, cool tempo changes, scorching leads, huge chorus with lots of backing vocals,” he continues. “We love Queen and The Sweet! It’s a cool breakdown with an epic ending. Once again, it sounds just like ARMORED SAINT.” ARMORED SAINT is: Vocals: John Bush Bass: Joey Vera Guitar: Jeff Duncan Guitar: Phil Sandoval Drums: Gonzo Sandoval Director, Editor, Cinematographer, Colorist, Post-Production FX: David Brodsky for My Good Eye: Music Visuals @mygoodeyevisuals Producer, 1st AD, Cinematographer, Assistant Editor: Allison Woest for My Good Eye: Music Visuals Stunt Coordinator, Stunt Double: Kevin Barile Lighting Director: Jason Kinnard Gaffer: Bradford Jamieson Lighting Technicians: Myles Jamieson Chandler Tango Tyler Tango Additional Lighting Equipment: Larry Doerr Special FX Make Up Lead: Erik Albidress Special FX Make Up Assistant: Bryce Caldwell Production Assistants: Sam Hamer Brandon Long Ian Porter Kyle Van Beek Audio Playback Technician: Tig Moore Audio Playback Assistant: Nick Miller Location Manager: John Smartz Album Audio: Produced by Joey Vera Mixed by Jay Ruston Mastered by Paul Logus Audio Engineered By: Oliver Roman, Bill Metoyer, Joey Vera and Jason Constantine Behind the Scenes Photography & Videography: Stephanie Cabral Product Manager: Heidi Weaver Starring: John Bush Cazzey Louis Cereghino Ed Nathan Mecate Featuring: Jeff Duncan Gonzo Sandoval Phil Sandoval Joey Vera With: Olga Attack Shane Beck Sean Bokor Stephen Cano Michelle Carle Roger Charbonneau Solomon Daniels Eric David Jovani De La Cruz William Fletcher Michael Garnica David J Green Frankie Gunz Giovanni Iodice Kathy Kalousek Ron Kari Sara Kovach Sean Marin Ethan Miedecke Suzie Montero Mary Montgomery Jeff Napier Tim Noble Maritza Padilla Rawl Paredes Eddie Perez Rolando Perez Rodrigo Ramirez Scott Richards Richard Rodriguez Jonnie Rose Arnold Salazar Dan Thomas Sauceda Lynd Slaybaugh Kim Tardif Dianne Thomas Johnny Valdez David Waldrop Benjamin Yaffee Mike Yaffee Jim Youngblood Francisco Zamudio The Ayatollah of Rock and Rolla: Tracy Vera 04.
