U.S. heavy metal giants Armored Saint will be Inducted into the Metal Hall of Fame during the Metal Hall of Fame Summer Showcase, at the Whisky A Go Go, July 13, 2023. The ceremony will feature 95.5 KLOS DJ Marci Wiser as host. Performances also include top local artists Sergio Michel, Deconstruct, surprise guest appearances, and an All-Star Jam. The event is sponsored by Rocavaka, The Vaka That Rocks!!
"Armored Saint have been delivering great metal for decades and we look forwarding to giving them a proper salute this summer, on their home turf of Southern California, at the Whisky A Go Go,” said Metal Hall of Fame Founder/CEO Pat Gesualdo." Marci Wiser commented, “Once they unleashed the crushing riff and vocals of ‘Can U Deliver’ in the ‘80s, I instantly knew they’d be hall of famers. I’m honored to host the event and I’ll have my horns way up.”
"We were honored and excited to be notified about the Armored Saint Metal Hall of Fame Induction. They have been rocking and kicking ass for 40 years. Cheers to all of their success," says J. Buttermark of FM Music Management.
