West Coast riff peddlers, SAVIOURS, will levy their thundering Palace Of Vision full-length upon the ears of the masses tomorrow via Listenable Records. Dark yet simultaneously driving and anthemesque, the band’s first proper full-length in four years was captured at Type Foundry in Portland, Oregon with Billy Anderson (Brothers Of The Sonic Cloth, Eyehategod, Taurus, Ommadon etc.) and delivers nine tumultuous tracks of herculean riffs, quaking rhythms and galloping guitar harmonies twined around a fixation on the apocalypse, the occult, psychedelics and the arcane.
In advance of its official descent and following previous track premieres with Decibel, Cvlt Nation and Invisible Oranges, today MetalSucks offers up the record in full noting, “SAVIOURS are always good for a healthy dose of gnarly, NWOBHM fun; just the right amount of dirty rawness and just the right amount of Thin Lizzy polish. But, best of all, they never repeat themselves, which is so often the downfall of ‘reliable’ bands: they twist things up just enough to make each release an engaging listen, as they’ve done now over the course of five full-lengths and two EPs spanning a decade-plus career. Palace of Visions is their latest same-but-not-the-same endeavor, and you can stream it in full below.”

Rooted in hardcore punk but preferring to cruise in outer space, SAVIOURS have always brought an infectious swing and swagger to their forward-charging heavy metal. The band melds the prime tenets of 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 a rugged beast of a sound that is singularly SAVIOURS.
Palace Of Vision will be released worldwide via Listenable Records on October 30th, 2015. Preorders for the album and vinyl are currently available by request at info@listenable.net.
“…these guys still have some of the tastiest guitar playing in the game…” – Invisible Oranges
“Riffs that wander, but through that brutal wall of sound, if there were a band that was the demon spawn of early Metallica and early Black Sabbath, SAVIORS would be that band…In an age of singles, SAVIOURS has made a superior album.” – Glacially Musical
“Fans of bands like Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, Motörhead, and other classic bands will hear multiple lines of influence here. But SAVIOURS is more than the sum of its parts. This is original heavy metal, played to perfection.” – Sea Of Tranquility
