Saviours

Merging howling lyrical venom with an endless arsenal of corrosive guitar orchestrations, harmonized leads and runaway locomotive rhythms, SAVIOURS have been rapidly garnering international attention as one of the best heavy bands active today. The self-described "piss-angry metal band", known for its ferocious live performances and original stamp on the classic power and thrash metal of decades past, entered Los Angeles' A&M/Henson Studios in late August with producer Joe Barresi (Melvins, Kyuss, Tool) to record its sophomore album, Into Abaddon. Into Abaddon was recorded fresh off a red-hot tour of the United Kingdom as hand-picked direct support to progressive metal giants Mastodon and a 14-city road jaunt that saw the inclusion of many of the songs that comprise the new full-length, which will be released January 22, 2008. On the topic of the forthcoming album and the band's new label home, SAVIOURS drummer Scott Batiste comments, "We signed to Kemado because they understand what we're trying to do more than any other label. We each share a vision of how a Saviours record should be released."
