Burning Saviours

Burning Saviours came together in 2003 when Mikael Monks (guitar) and Martin Wijkström (drums) discussed starting a heavy rock/doom metal band. They named the band after a Pentagram song from the album Day of Reckoning. They teamed up with bassist Fredrik Evertsson and vocalist Andrei Amartinesei to record their first demo entitled Dayterrors in 2004. Amartinesei picked up guitar in addition to vocals for their second demo, The Crusade of Evil, also recorded in 2004.
The band soon discarded their previous songs and recorded a new demo, Into the Abyss in late 2004. This demo generated enough buzz to get the band added to the annual German "Doom Shall Rise III" festival in 2005 as well as a record contract with I Hate Records. Their self-titled debut was released in May 2005. Hundus, their second album, was released in June 2006 on I Hate Records. A single was released on Rise Above Records in December 2006.
In late 2006, vocalist/guitarist Andrei Amartinesei parted ways with the band and was replaced by Fredrik Andersson on vocals and Henry Pyykkö on guitar. In October 2007 their third album, Nymphs and Weavers, will be released by Transubstans Records.



It is official. Burning Saviours is back as a group. Members are: Mikael Monks (ex.Marjanen) - Vocals & Rythm guitar (Original member, former rythm guitar on all recordings), Jonas Hartikainen - Lead Guitar, Fredrik Evertsson- Bass (original member) and Martin Wijkström - Drums (o.riginal member).
We decided to bring Burning Saviours back to what the band intended to be in the beginning, a doom/heavy rock band. We will focus on making new songs in the same vein as Black Sabbaths first album. You will hear much more darkness and doom in our new songs and you will find that all the "hippie-ish" influences are gone. Burning Saviours are BACK!
