SAVAGE MESSIAH: NEW TRACK 'MINORITY OF ONE' AVAILABLE NOW

London shred-heavy melodic metallers SAVAGE MESSIAH have released a new track from their upcoming album, THE FATEFUL DARK, which is due to be released on March 10th in Europe via Earache Records and on March 18th in the USA via Century Media/Earache Records.

SAVAGE MESSIAH, who were recently banned from entering the Freemason UK headquarters in London for a photo shoot after the society deemed the band's name offensive, are releasing three instant grat tracks on iTunes which can be downloaded in advance of the album's release.

The new track, called "Minority of One", is available now as an instant grat download, along with a previously-released track, "Cross of Babylon".  A further track, "Hellblazer", will be available as an instant grat download on iTunes on February 10th.

Listen to "Minority of One" now at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCLbE-cfkrg

SAVAGE MESSIAH frontman DAVE SILVER comments:

"The title for this song comes from a famous saying by Ghandi, who said that even if you're in a minority of one, the truth is the truth.  Which is a good message to people about breaking the mould and not getting sucked into 'group think' mentality.  Standing up for what's objectively right and not compromising for the sake of social acceptance.  Musically, this is my favourite Savage Messiah track ever; we've managed to marry the thrash and heavy metal elements into a cohesive track, which is catchy and melodic, but still fast and thrashy.  Enjoy!"

Listen to SAVAGE MESSIAH talking about the new track at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZVM_DThgEhs

THE FATEFUL DARK was recorded at Grindstone Studios in Suffolk, England with producer SCOTT ATKINS (AMON AMARTH, SYLOSIS, BEHEMOTH) and features artwork created by PETER SALLAI (SABATON).

View the album artwork at http://earacherecords.com/myspace/sm_thefatefuldark.jpg

THE FATEFUL DARK is available to pre-order now from the Earache Webstore on CD with an exclusive bonus disc featuring 3 cover tracks, and is also available on limited edition coloured vinyl LP including a bonus 10" vinyl featuring 4 cover tracks.
