Upon it's release, Armored Saint entered the Billboard charts with La Raza, the band's first release since 2001's Revelation.
La Raza debuted at #49 on the Hard Music Albums chart, #18 on the Heatseekers chart, #52 on the Top Independent Albums chart, and #2 on the Hard Music Core Stores chart.
La Raza also entered the official German album charts coming in at #96. In addition to hitting charts in both the US and Germany, the band also entered the Canadian charts coming in at #85 on the Independent chart.
La Raza is the band's first album since Revelation in 2000 and their sixth in total. The album's foundation was laid back in 2008 when Joey Vera and John Bush began writing new material for what would become La Raza and the album was completed in December at Tranzformer Studios in Burbank, CA. The album was produced by bassist Joey Vera, and engineered by Bryan Carlstrom and his assistant John Nuss. Recording was mostly done with analog equipment and the final album mix was delivered on 1 inch tape. This gives La Raza the most organic sound as possible.
