Professionally filmed video footage of ARMORED SAINT performing the song “Reign Of Fire” at this year’s Bloodstock Open Air festival, which was held August 6-9 at at Catton Park, Derbyshire, United Kingdom, can be seen above.

Asked how he stays in shape for the road, ARMORED SAINT singer John Bush told The Front Row Report:

“Vocally, it’s a challenge. I’m 52 years old, and singing ‘Raising Fear‘ when I was 24 was… you know, a long time ago. So I try to change things up a little bit, although, of course, I wanna sound as true as possible to the original recordings. I’ve had some vocal troubles prior to this tour [with SAXON] starting, and I was quite concerned, actually, but I seem to be coming out of it, luckily. Being a singer is kind of annoying; you know, you can’t… you’ve gotta take care of yourself. You’re not the bass player, and nothing against bass players, but it’s a different type of working. This [points to throat] is your instrument, it’s in body, so I kind of try to eliminate coffee, which is a drag, ’cause I love coffee. I try to not eat any spicy foods. I take antacids, because it helps with reflux. And [I] just really [try to] be meticulous about working with my voice. I haven’t drank anything for a while, but I still like to drink, and I wanna drink, and as soon as this tour is over, I will. But, yeah, just taking care of yourself. I didn’t always do that in the early days of ARMORED SAINT and even in my days with ANTHRAX. I probably am, vocally, in the best health of my life.”

ARMORED SAINT‘s seventh studio album, “Win Hands Down“, was released on June 2 in North America via Metal Blade.
