London heavy metallers, SAVAGE MESSIAH have launched the new single ‘Cross Of Babylon’ ahead of their UK support tour with AMON AMARTH that begins this week.
Listen to ‘Cross Of Babylon’ here:
And hear the band talk about the writing process of the track here:
The track is taken from their 2014 album “The Fateful Dark” released last year via Earache records. The follow-up to 2012’s “Plague Of Conscience” was recorded at Grindstone Studios in Suffolk, England with producer Scott Atkins (AMON AMARTH, SYLOSIS, BEHEMOTH) and features artwork created by Peter Sallai (SABATON).

SAVAGE MESSIAH were picked by a panel of music industry experts to receive funding from the BPI Music Export Growth Scheme for European tour support and promotion/marketing in 2014. The grant itself caused a lot of controversy as to whether tax payers money should be spent in this way, especially on a heavy metal ’thrash’ band. Following this the band appeared in a host of national newspapers, plus Sky News and Channel 4 news too.
