First, Armored Saint has never played in France. Not only are we doing the awesome Sonisphere show, we are also doing a headline club show in Paris. About fucking time. Also, we&#8217;re extremely pumped to play the Bang Your Head festival again. It&#8217;s one of the best metal shows in Germany. Plus, we get to be part of the DONG festival. First time there. The tour wouldn&#8217;t be complete without playing in Holland, which is the first country Armored Saint ever played in Europe back in 1989; and Zurich, where it will be our first time to headline in the beautiful country of Switzerland. Armored Saint doesn&#8217;t tour all that often so come out and join us, cause you&#8217;re never sure when or if we&#8217;ll be touring again. We&#8217;ll be playing songs from our entire catalog as well as from our most recent record, La Raza, which we&#8217;re extremely proud of. See ya this summer.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>ARMORED SAINT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>European Tour 2012<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>07\/08\u00a0\u00a0 Amneville, France\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/fr.sonisphere.eu\/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Sonisphere Festival<br \/>\n<\/a>07\/10\u00a0\u00a0 Paris, France\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 La Maroquinerie\u00a0<em>w\/ Collapse<br \/>\n<\/em>07\/11\u00a0\u00a0 Kekrade, Netherlands \u00a0Rock Temple\u00a0<em>w\/ Collapse<br \/>\n<\/em>07\/13\u00a0\u00a0 Balingen, Germany\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.bang-your-head.de\/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Bang Your Head Festival<br \/>\n<\/a>07\/14\u00a0\u00a0 Neukirchen, Germany\u00a0\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.dongopenair.de\/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Dong Festival<br \/>\n<\/a>07\/15\u00a0\u00a0 Zurich, Switzerland\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Dynamo\u00a0<em>w\/ Collapse<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>La Raza<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0is available everywhere now.
