Saviours



GZ are happy to announce a special, one-off headlining show for
Oakland, CA's Saviours, last seen in Ireland supporting metal
heavyweights MASTODON.

Behold Into Abaddon is the second full-length by Oakland, CA’s Saviours,
and first for their new home at Kemado Records. 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.

Formed in 2004, Saviours are the end product of a "vision-quest" by
guitarist/vocalist Austin Barber and drummer Scott Batiste. An ipecac
reaction to the sorry state of heavy music, they aimed to assemble an
epically heavy, crushingly loud band that would reinvigorate their
love for excessive volume. The band’s home base of Oakland, long since
a hotbed for landmark metal and crust bands such as El Dopa, Neurosis,
and High on Fire, provided the decay and terror necessary to fuel such
an effort. 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 groups like BL’AST! and Poison
Idea), Saviours fortify the positions originally suggested on their
debut EP Warship and first album Crucifire with Into Abaddon, its
punishing riffage 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.
