SAINT DIABLO To Release New Album, Hit The Road

Spawned from Central Virginia, SAINT DIABLO is an unmovable force to be reckoned with. Bringing with them a fresh and unique tone of hardcore metal and Latino melodies, the band is set stun heavy music fans with the release of their new album, entitled "Saint Diablo", on July 10. The new record is the third full-length from the band and is being released through Eclipse Records (MUSHROOMHEAD, SCUM OF THE EARTH). Known as a live show powerhouse, the band is ready to push that power to the masses with their biggest record yet.

"This new CD, 'Saint Diablo', is a combined effort of so many wonderful people. We have such an awesome group of investors, supporters, handlers, and producers behind the curtain that I see this CD as just the BEGINING of the future," states vocalist Tito Quinones. "For example, we have always done bilingual music and blended multi-cultural aspects of rock, metal, and groove; but this time we are also doing entirely Spanish versions of some if our most favorite tunes. We did this to expand our musical horizons, make new fans in countries and cultures that would otherwise have language barriers, and to have fun."

Since 1995, the band has had eight independent releases. In 2003, the band released their debut album, which featured the Grammy-nominated artist Anousheh Khalili on "Why Now?" Also, the singles "Senoria Paranoia" and "Renaissance" pushed the band through new barriers and helped land them a spot on the 2003 Eat'M Showcase in Las Vegas and Salem Or-be Tour featuring Busta Rhymes in New York. In 2008, the band released REPUBLICA through 925 Records. The band has also been featured on many nationally released compilations produced by Project Independent, StreetTeam.com, and Royal Blunts.

As mentioned above, SAINT DIABLO prides itself in performing on stage and bringing a raw, energetic live show to their fans every night. The band is set to head out on a tour of several U.S. states with SLAVES OF DOPE, running from July 24 in Rochester, New York to August 14 in Poughkeepsie, New York. Before and after the tour, the band has booked several additional East Coast tour dates, including stops in Baltimore, Maryland; Raleigh, North Carolina; Richmond, Virginia and more.

"Tour, I love being on tour! That's our life blood," says guitarist Justin Adams. "Being on stage and performing for our fans is the grass roots of what we do. The energy, the smell, the taste of being in a packed room with a bunch of metal crazed fans, who wouldn't want to be a part of that?! The interaction of the fans and meeting new people and hearing their stories all over the country… that's what I look forward to on tour. It's about the brotherhood of living in a van with your band mates and the experiences, things you have to overcome."
