Possessing an extraordinary songwriting sense, lion-hearted innovation, world class technical ability and a bottomless pool of raw talent and creativity, SAVIOURS are one of creative heavy music's most exciting new bands. http://www.myspace.com/saviours666 Formed in 2004, Oakland, California's SAVIOURS are the end product of a "vision-quest" by guitarist / vocalist Austin Barber and drummer Scott Batiste. An ipecac reaction to the current state of heavy music, they aimed to assemble an epically heavy, crushingly loud band that would reinvigorate their love for excessive volume. http://www.action-pr.com/artists.php Inspired by '70s doom, NWOBHM, power metal and '90s black metal, as well as that which informed West Coast hardcore punk and skate culture (think Black Flag and BL'AST!), SAVIOURS dwarf their previous efforts with Into Abaddon, with punishing riffs and Barber's venomous lyrics leading the charge. Rounded out by Drunk Horse bassist Cyrus Comiskey and D. Tyler Morris on second guitar, SAVIOURS provoke a violent response to all in metal that does not ring true. Says Barber of the new material, "[Into Abaddon] is all about the unending abyss of the human mind -- my mind, and its reaction to the state of the world today. It created itself. The world's workin' through me." The seven songs on Into Abaddon were realized by producer "Evil" Joe Barresi over the summer of 2007 in Los Angeles, CA. Having produced bands such as Tool, Queens of the Stone Age, and the Melvins, Barresi's efforts assist the catapulting of SAVIOURS into the upper echelon of metallic luminaries. "Joe blew our minds every day," remarks drummer and principal songwriter Scott Batiste of his abilities. "He's a tone master, and really gets into the bands he works with, to the point where he almost served as a new member in the studio. Our earlier records captured what we sounded like live at the times in which they were made, but Joe was able to conceptualize that sound and make it even more powerful." Into Abaddon was written in a stressful period of chaos within the ranks of the band, some of whom were homeless and bouncing between friends' couches and floors, chasing down their demons in between high-profile tours here and abroad with the likes of Mastodon, Red Sparowes, The Sword and Doomriders. "We had two songs written when we signed with Kemado," remarked Batiste, who authors all of SAVIOURS songs on mega-distorted bass, his rationale being that "if it sounds good through really thick, fucked-up bass, it'll sound even better coming from all of us." The band hunkered down and banged out the material in massive, 30+ hour a week practice sessions that spilled out of their rehearsal spaces and into the places where they crashed. "Our friends were getting pretty sick of us playing around them so much," he said. But the work ethic of bands like Mastodon taught SAVIOURS how to operate down to the bone. "Those guys have it so dialed," Batiste recalled. "Touring with them really inspired us to push through the hard times." SAVIOURS will embark on a U.S. tour with High on Fire and A Life Once Lost in January 2008, to coincide with the release of Into Abaddon. (Less)
