| Saviours of Sin American Interview | 292 Tage her | |||
| Noel recently did an interview with earthdog promotions from America and here it is Saviours Of Sin from Ireland are another band that keeping the traditional sounds of Metal alive (yes its still out there!).With a CD coming out and a headlining tour already under their belts they have a lot planned for 2009.I did this interview with Noel the bass player. 1.How about starting with telling everyone about the band,who plays what and how the band got together ? Well, saviours of sin hail from the south coast of Ireland and was formed in the summer of ‘05 by brothers Noel and Phil. After growing up on bands like Thin Lizzy, Iron Maiden et. al we felt inspired and this lead us to want to form our own band. Various personnel changes occurred in our formative years but now have a settled line-up which includes Noel (Bass/Vox), Phil (Drums), Sully (Guitars) and James (Guitars). 2.I haven't that much from bands in your part of the world,how is the Metal scene over there at the moment ? The scene over here is very healthy at the moment and has really taken off in the past few years with many established metal bands coming here to play. There are gigs there to be played if you are willing to put in the effort but in truth, if you want to really progress you’ve gotta play abroad. Ireland is a good place to perfect your craft but the real tests are in Europe or the US. 3.You play with a lot of traditional influences,I hear some Maiden in there.How would you describe your brand on Metal ? We’d describe ourselves as classic metal…metal in the truest sense of the word. Of course it’s possible to hear our influences in our music but we have so many that I really think it helps us achieve something special. Whether it’s Maiden or some old traditional music, anything is possible when we play. The main thing is that we write the music we want to write and if people enjoy it then that’s great. 4.Its good to hear a band still playing Metal in the old school way,is that the way you have always done it ? Ya, I think when we started we always wanted to stay true to real metal. Loud guitars, intricate time changes, nice melodies…To us there’s no other way of doing it, it’s what we enjoy and hope to continue doing for a long time. 5.Have you always been Metal heads ? For as long as I can remember there was always rock music on at home. Everything from Lizzy to Purple, Maiden to Slayer that’s what we grew up on. We were also big fans of old Irish traditional music and I think that’s still the case today. 6.You have released a couple of EP's,how do people go about getting hold of these if they want a listen ? They can be purchased off the web at www. savioursofsin. com and myspace. com/savioursofsin. 7. On your Myspace page you mention you are about to start playing live,what has stopped you from doing this in the past ? I think that refers to that we haven’t be playing a lot recently as we’ve been busy writing for the next record and organising the tour to coincide with its release. Last year was tremendous for us as we did our first headline tour which brought us all over Ireland and we hope to better that this year. Hopefully we’ll be venturing in mainland Europe for the first time in ‘09. 8.You have been working on releasing a new album,how is that going ? It’s going great, although it has been hard at times. We really want to make this record the best it can be and are really pushing ourselves hard to achieve this. It will be recorded in July-August this year with release and tour to follow in October. I feel we are finding our sound on this record, the songs are sounding heavier and are getting more progressive. I think were really beginning to sound like the band that we want to be. 9.How do you planned on getting your stuff out to the masses.Have you been contacting many labels,promoters etc ? We’ve been targeting people that we think would be interested in our type of music and have been getting some very good feedback from them. We have good contacts with the main promoters in Ireland and hope to widen that list by working abroad in the near future. 10.I have always been a big fan of Irish beer,do you guys indulge quite often. If i lived there i would have a hard time staying out of bars. Ha haaaa!! Well to us it’s normal so we don’t really think about it too much but ya sure, we enjoy our beer. We’d drink anything really but Guinness would have to be tops, you can’t beat a few pints of the black stuff. 11. Do you have a decent fan base in your hometown ? Ya, were very grateful to our fans down here…There is a good metal scene and the fans always come out in force to support their own. 12.Plans for the next year and what do you want to achieve with Saviours Of Sin ? Well longterm we would hope to take the big step up and make Saviours Of Sin a full time gig. For 2009 we just want to continue working hard and release a kick-ass metal record, play as many shows as we can and have a good time. As long as we can keep playing metal and enjoying it then that’s the main thing, anything else would be a great bonus. | ||||

| A big thanks to all of you who came out and supported us during the tour. Thanks to all those who bought the EP, the promoters, the venues and all the bands we've had the pleasure of playing with. A special thanks goes out to the lads from Sirocco, Obelisk, Days Of Night & Darkest Era....the nicest bunch of people you could ever meet!! The War On The Road Spring Tour 08 had us playing 7 dates around the country and also our first gig in the Northern Ireland. It was great to play to some new faces while not forgetting the old ones aswel! Were taking a short sabbatical from live shows for the coming months as were busy preparing for exams, writing new material and also putting together a new show before we re-emerge in the summer. We will be playing the odd gig over the next couple of months but do not plan another tour until the end of the year. Plans are already under way for it and we also plan to record near the end of the year aswel but enough of that for now. Cheers again for all the support and please keep an eye out for new dates.... | ||||

| War Upon The Cross - New Review | 665 Tage her | |||
| Here's another review of the EP, this one is coming from acoss the water in the UK....Written by Paul Simms @ www.metal-discovery.com "an Iron Maiden sensibility for twin lead work and galloping melody" Saviours Of Sin, a four piece from Cork, Ireland, have been around since 2005 and this is their second release. The first thing that struck me about this band was the clean (and quite soft) vocals reminiscent of Thin Lizzy’s Phil Lynott. Not necessarily what I expected, but not unwelcome by any means and, to tell the truth, a refreshing change from a lot of the death and black metal roarings and raspings I’ve been listening to recently. This CD is metal in the classic sense - with an Iron Maiden sensibility for twin lead work and galloping melody. Add this to Saviours Of Sin’s Celtic heritage and you have an Irish slant on this classic sound with hints of bands like Primordial or Waylander. This is a CD that grew on me rather than grabbed me immediately, though I don’t know whether this was more to do with the way the tracks are ordered on the CD. Track 3 is a real standout, entitled ‘Celtic War’, and I imagine is a storming live number. The final track ‘Upon The Cross’ is an epic 9 minutes 23 seconds with a lush acoustic intro Iron Maiden would be proud of writing before going into an epic and well crafted piece with a few slight doom leanings like Anathema, My Silent Wake or My Dying Bride would use. In a world of ever growing genres, where do you put Saviours Of Sin? Simply put - in the METAL section. A band I shall be keeping an eye on in the future for sure - I’d recommend you do as well. Review by Paul Sims - 7/10 | ||||

| War Upon The Cross Review | 758 Tage her | |||
| Here's a review of our new EP "War Upon The Cross." Written by Becky White @ myspace.com/ukfm Saviours of Sin – War Upon The Cross EP Saviours of Sin are a four piece metal outfit from Ireland. They formed in 2005 and War Upon The Cross is their second EP. Metal is not often my first choice I’m a rock gal at heart but bands like Saviours of Sin are definitely swaying me towards a more metal diet. On first listen the immediate thought I had was that the music is very rooted in their Celtic history; in the sound, style and lyrics. The tracks are heavy, with frenetic guitar solos and pounding drums. The vocals are strong and likeable. Two of the tracks stood out in particular; Barbarians: melodic start has a slightly softer atmosphere and edge to it, while interchanging between fast and slow guitars and military style drumming. Upon the Cross is an epic number reaching nearly the ten minute mark. Its lovely, haunting and evocative start gives way to oppressive, ominous sounding vocals. The track finishes with a marathon of a guitar solo! The Sabbath-esque cover sets the tone of the EP well encompassing the moody, threatening and edgy sound of the music. It’s definately worth checking out. Becky White | ||||
