BENEDICTUM Finish Recording Third Full-Length; Album Expected This Winter
June 25, 2010, 14 years ago
US metallers BENEDICTUM have finished recording their third album. The band have been recording with producer Ryan Greene (MEGADETH, LITA FORD, NOFX) at his Area 52 recording studio in Scottsdale, Arizona.
The new album will also feature the talents of WHITESNAKE / OZZY OSBOURNE bassist Rudy Sarzo and DIO / BUDGIE guitarist Craig Goldy. Benedictum singer Veronica Freeman also worked with FOREIGNER bassist Jeff Pilson (ex-DIO, DOKKEN) to produce some acoustic bonus tracks for the album. It’s release date will be sometime in the Winter.
Jeff says, “My affinity for Benedictum was instant. Upon hearing Veronica's voice and Pete Wells’ guitar, I knew the seeds were there for a classic monumental rock band.”
Benedictum have just signed a deal with a major European label (details to be announced soon). The new album will coincide with an appearance at the Hard Rock Hell IV festival in Prestatyn this December alongside AIRBOURNE, UFO, MSG and URIAH HEEP, among others. The band is also hoping to announce a series of UK dates around the festival.
Stay tuned for further updates. More on Benedictum at this location.
