Death's Procession

Rooted in hardcore punk but preferring to cruise in outer space, the lysergic hessians of Saviours have always brought a ton of swing and swagger to their forward-charging heavy metal. The band melds sounds from the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal, progressive rock, and proto-doom, and delivers it all with a snarling West Coast hardcore edge. The result is an absolute beast of a sound that is all Saviours' own. Since the 2006 release of Saviours' first album, Crucifire, the band has worked relentlessly, touring North America, Europe, and Japan with the likes of Mastodon, The Sword, High On Fire, Saint Vitus, and Witchcraft. In a few short years, Saviours have risen to become stalwarts of the world's metal scene, ambassadors of an aggressive-yet-stoned West Coast vibe, inspired by the 70's but totally real and relevant in 2011.
