Already receiving substantial press overseas in Europe and their UK home, Savage Messiah are ripping it up with their fresh and enthusiastic modern vision of classic heavy metal on Insurrection Rising. Their appellation is fitting as their metal is 'savage' with old school heavy and thrash metal merging into intense modern melodic metal without its hardcore harshness. And that's why 'messiah' may also fits so well as they may be modern metal's saviors. Savage Messiah does not depend on constant and chunking riffing, growling unintelligible vocals, or hardcore vulgarity to bring their ferocious metal. And, incidentally, all members are exceptional and rather technical musicians. Listen to the mammoth arrangements and expert displays on Corruption X, In Absence of Liberty, or Vigil of the Navigator: all exceptional and thrilling metal pieces. Insurrection Rising could be exactly what it implies: a rebellion against the horrible status quo of modern metal. Thankfully, we'll all be the better for it. Savage Messiah is metal, and Insurrection Rising is a crown jewel. Very recommended! 5/5 Craig Hartranft.

Here's an article about the band that will out in the next issue of Metal Hammer. Thanks to Dom Lawson for doing the interview.

And here it is for all you lovely Spanish speakers out there! an interview with Ernie (who is Uruguayan). The interview was conducted in Spanish and therefore nothing has been lost in translation. Enjoy!

The song "The Serpent Tongue of Divinity" from our new album Insurrection Rising is available on the cover mount cd of this months Terrorizer Magazine(#188).

Pick it up at all good newsagents now!

Metal Hammer:
Besides Evile, Savage Messiah are the second English hope bearer in the matter of Thrash, even if they got clearly less press than their colleagues. This hopefully changes with their second work INSURRECTION RISING, because this record rocks! Some riffs remind (of course) of the forefathers exodus, but the guys around singer and guitarist Dave Silver doing that more catchy.
Therefore, the music sounds rather like a mixture of early Annihilator, Testament, Megadeth and Artillery ,this should be expressly understood as a compliment. Above all, the extremely melodic Lead guitars and the rough voice of Silver, which penetrates sometimes also into hair-raising heights, let Savage Messiah, among the huge number of new bands, stand out. Everybody who wants to hear an extremely successful symbiosis of Thrash-and Heavy Metal killers should urgently hear songs like ‘ The Serpent Tongue Of Divinity ',' Vigil Of The navigator 'or' Silent empire ’ This record cannot and will not be able to hide in the underground anymore.

Metal Hammer:

Neben Evile sind Savage Messiah der zweite englische Hoffnungsträger in Sachen Thrash, auch wenn sie bisher deutlich weniger Presse bekamen als ihre Kollegen. Das ändert sich hoffentlich mit ihrem Zweitwerk INSURRECTION RISING, denn dieses Scheibchen rockt! Das eine oder andere Riff erinnert (natürlich) an die Urväter Exodus, aber die Herren um Sänger und Gitarrist Dave Silver gehen wesentlich eingängiger zu Werke. Deshalb klingt die Chose eher wie eine Mischung aus frühen Annihilator, Testament, Megadeth und Artillery, was ausdrücklich als Kompliment verstanden werden sollte. Vor allem die extrem melodischen Lead-Gitarren und die raue Stimme von Silver, die bisweilen auch in halsbrecherische Höhen vordringt, lassen Savage Messiah unter der Vielzahl neuer Kapellen hervorstechen. Wer eine äußerst gelungene Symbiose aus Thrash- und Heavy Metal hören will, sollte sich dringend Killer wie ‘The Serpent Tongue Of Divinity’, ‘Vigil Of The Navigator’ oder ‘Silent Empire’ zu Gemüte führen. Diese Band kann und wird sich nicht mehr lange im Untergrund verstecken können.
