FOZZY, OBITUARY, NASTY SAVAGE Members Join Forces In BLOOD DIVISIONS

August 12, 2015

Metal Blade Records has set an August 28 release date for the digital EP from new supergroup BLOOD DIVISIONS.

BLOOD DIVISIONS features a "who's who" of metal musicians, including Chris Jericho, Dave Austin, Ralph Santola, Terry Butler, Greg Gall, Bill Owen, John Mahoney and Ben Meyer. The digital EP features two tracks, the first being a cover of the NASTY SAVAGE song "The Morgue" and the second a cover version of the SCORPIONS classic "Top Of The Bill".

A portion of the proceeds from sales of the self-titled EP will benefit Rock & Rescue, a charity helmed by acclaimed producer Jay Ruston, as well as the Warren County Tennessee Humane Society.

Says Jericho: "BLOOD DIVISIONS is an all-star collection of some of the most talented musicians to ever come from the legendary southern Florida metal scene.

"Being a HUGE fan of all of these musicians and their legendary bands, especially NASTY SAVAGE, when David Austin himself asked me to lay down the vocals, I responded immediately, 'YES! What songs do you want me to sing and how many studded leather gauntlets can I wear?'

"I'm so honored and proud to be a part of the project and very excited with the results. Trust me, it's going to tear all of your fuckin' heads off, in the best possible way!"
