Best Songs on Armored Saint's March of the Saint

March of the Saint is the first studio album by Armored Saint. It was recorded at Ocean Way Recording in Hollywood, California, Clover Recorders in Hollywood, California, and The Village Recorder in West Los Angeles, California. The album was released on October 9, 1984, through Chrysalis Records and produced by Michael James Jackson, who had previously worked with Kiss.

The debut album yielded a minor MTV hit with "Can U Deliver." However, Joey Vera and John Bush later recalled the recording process as frustrating and disappointing. They explained that Jackson's approach was much more commercial than the heavy metal sound the band had wanted.

As Vera recalled in 2006: "At the end of the record we were very unhappy with the production, the mix, the way we worked and who we worked with. And the producer and our manager let us spend over $300,000 on our first record. To this day we are still in debt for that one."
