SAVAGE BLADE Adds Singer

April 11, 2008

After a year-long search, Canadian power metal outfit SAVAGE BLADE has announced the addition of lead vocalist Nikko Forsberg.

Bringing an instantly memorable classic metal voice and commanding stage presence to the fold, this ex-Mormon wild child has proven to be the perfect fit for the true metal sound of SAVAGE BLADE.

SAVAGE BLADE is currently producing its debut album, "We Are The Hammer", in Nelson, B.C., Canada, with producer/engineer Andy Chute. The CD will be released in North America on indie label Black Banana Records, with European distribution to be handled by the Germany-based Underground Power.

In true '80s metal fashion, the band plans to release the album for retail on vinyl and cassette only, with online digital downloads available for free.

As a pre-album teaser, and in tribute to one of their biggest influences, the band has posted its cover version of the classic SAXON track "Dallas 1PM" on SAVAGE BLADE's MySpace page.
