SAVAGE BLADE Signs With PURE STEEL RECORDS

July 3, 2009

Canadian power metal warriors SAVAGE BLADE have inked a deal with Germany's Pure Steel Records for the worldwide release of their critically acclaimed debut album, "We Are The Hammer".

"SAVAGE BLADE have kicked out a massive debut album", says Andreas Lorenz of Pure Steel Records. "From first note to last, this album breathes the true spirit of classic heavy metal, with playing and songwriting skills that stand on the same level as many legendary '80s metal bands. We see a bright future with SAVAGE BLADE, and look forward to forging a successful partnership, and delivering their premium brand of vintage-style metal to the masses".

Chock-full of monster riffs, pounding rhythms, instantly memorable hooks and balls-to-the-wall vocals, the album is sure to strike a power chord with fans of the NWOBHM and the classic metal bands of the early '80s. The title track from "We Are The Hammer" has already become an underground hit — it was recently featured on the "Metal Crusade" CD compilation in Germany's Heavy magazine, and will also be appearing in the debut episode of "ManSkate" — a new Canadian reality series, showcasing skateboarders over 30 years of age, looking to claim their dominance in an all-out-war of stunts, challenges and bad behavior.

"We released our debut album independently as a limited edition vinyl LP earlier this year, and we've had a truly great response so far — especially in Europe", says Chris Rand of SAVAGE BLADE. "We were fortunate enough to have received a few label offers, but it was obvious to us from early on, that signing with Pure Steel was the right decision. Their distribution is fantastic, and their commitment to true metal is unwaivering. With PSR behind us, we're ready to deliver in full force."

Although Pure Steel have yet to announce an official date for the CD, a mid-summer release is expected.

SAVAGE BLADE is:

Nikko Forsberg - Lead Vocals
Eric Hoodicoff - Lead & Rhythm Guitar, Drums, Bass, Background Vocals
Chris Rand - Bass, Guitar, Keyboards, Background Vocals
