Oakland, CA group Saviours has inked a deal with NYC label Kemado Records. The self-described “piss-angry metal band” will enter Los Angeles’ A&M/Henson Studios in late August with producer Joe Barresi (Melvins, Kyuss, Tool) to record their sophomore album, due in early 2008.
On the topic of the forthcoming album and the band’s new label home, Saviours’ drummer Scott Batiste commented “We signed to Kemado because they understand what we’re trying to do more than any other label. We each share a vision of how a Saviours record should be released. And it helps that Keith and company know how to party.”
