Former FAITH NO MORE Bassist To Guest On New BENEDICTION CD

May 8, 2008

Long-running UK extreme metallers BENEDICTION are putting the finishing touches on their new album, "Killing Music", due before the end of the year via Nuclear Blast Records.

Commented the band: "We got Billy Gould of FAITH NO MORE/BRUJERIA fame to lay down the bass on our cover of 'Largactyl' by AMEBIX! Anyone who has ever met him will tell you he is the most friendly, laid-back person to walk this earth. Quite why he wanted to knock out some music with us is unknown, but he did! We met him at a festival we were playing in Bulgaria last year and we hit it off straight away and immediately went to a bar to cement our friendship with lots of alcohol. The man has laid down some of the most memorable tunes in rock music history but still takes time out to have a bit of a blast with us Brummie scumbags! What a time this album is turning out to be for us all on a personal level. We are lucky to be in a position where we have been able to make music with people we admire and we are very aware of it! One more guest to go and then we will get 'Killing Music' off to our record label."
