Savage Messiah are one of Britain’s leading metal bands, and now that they’ve returned with a new album, be sure to check out the frenzy below. Demons is a right return to form.
“Virtue Signal,” is a blistering introduction. Twisting and turning with a riff that knocks the shit out of the listener on first go. The vocals are biting and angry. A great introduction and a right return. “What Dreams May Come True,” slowly works its way up into a frenzy. It begins slowly, with a clear melody intertwined with some interesting little clicks here and there on the guitars. When the vocals kick in, that’s when the true epicness of the song is revealed. Another gem. “Heretic In The Modern World,” another seismic shift in tone. A brutal introductory riff mixed together with some fast and furious riff work. A galloping joint with a condemning tell on the state of the modern world. “Parachute,” an absolutely outstanding song. Mixing together that old Western feel with some seriously metal melodies and riffs. This is surely going to be an anthem for the summer and beyond. A song to get the crowd singing and bellowing the words out. “Under No Illusions,” a song that gives a damning tell about the music industry shifts in with the brutal riffs and snarling lyrics. “Down and Out,” another song that snakes in with that jamming riff before moving into absolute headbanging territory. Savage Messiah are on fire here.
“The Lights Are Going Out,” starts off clean, it moves within the framework of the initial melodies. You can tell that there is some dark truth lurking beneath the surface, just waiting to come out. As the song progresses, the vocals lead the way in shaping the narrative, a darkened abyss approaches. “The Bitter Truth,” smashes the listener in the face from the get go with a blinding riff and a snake eyes vocal melody. It takes the listener by the balls and does not let go. “Until The Shadows Fall,” is a song that slowly builds into a monster. The guitars lead the way here with their riffs weaving in and out of one another, the vocals slowly bring things up to a boil. “Rise Then Fall,” batters away at the listener, turning them into mush. “Steal The Faith In Me,” a fitting finish, rocking the house down with a mighty riff.
The album is out 17th May via Century Media. Be sure to get it!
