SAVAGE MESSIAH Sign With Candlelight
February 6, 2009, 15 years ago
UK thrashers SAVAGE MESSIAH have inked a deal with Candlelight Records.
The group says, "This is a major step for the band and we are extremely excited to finish the new album and set a release date."
Savage Messiah is currently recording its new CD with producer Chris Tsangarides, a Grammy-nominated producer and mixing engineer for bands such as JUDAS PRIEST, THIN LIZZY, BLACK SABBATH, BRUCE DICKINSON and YNGWIE MALMSTEEN. The band expects to complete the recording process around March 5th and release the effort sometime this summer.
Savage Messiah was formed by vocalist, lead guitarist, and all-around creative force Dave Silver shortly after the demise of his previous band, HEADLESS CROSS. Within a few months, Silver had almost single-handedly recorded the band's 2007 debut, Spitting Venom, but added drummer Pete Hunt (ex-MARSHALL LAW), bassist Chris O'Toole and co-lead guitarist James Tyler for Savage Messiah's live appearances.
