Armored Saint Launches Video For ‘Lone Wolf’
Written by Johnson Stephen on June 30, 2021
October 2020, Armored Saint released their eighth full-length, ‘Punching The Sky’ via Metal Blade Records.
The band has launched a new video for the album track, ‘Lone Wolf’. Directed by Robert Graves (who also produced the videos for Armored Saint’s ‘End Of The Attention Span’ and ‘Missile To Gun’).
Robert Graves comments “With ‘Lone Wolf’, the band and I agreed right away that this was an opportunity to create a narrative driven video that would convey the song’s lyrical themes, while also creating an engaging visual experience. And so, a noir-styled heist in the heart of Los Angeles just seemed to fit the song perfectly. We decided to keep the story simple and allow the tone of the video to help convey the song’s significance. This gave us (the crew) the opportunity to create an aesthetic that intensified the song’s mood, while also getting some incredible action scenes to tell the story. Needless to say, Armored Saint fans are in for a ride. I think they’re gonna love it!”
Bassist Joey Vera adds: “Working again with director Robert Graves was incredible. Not only is this video great to watch, but underneath the storyline lies a layer of allegory, metaphor and symbolism. Kind of a first for us. John Bush’s great lyrics twist and turn into meanings not visible at first sight. It’s a view into a person’s journey through life and how they maneuver through it all and what they gain from that experience in the end. The neo-noir look Robert created in both the story and the band performances make this a great addition to the Armored Saint video catalogue.”
