Following in the footsteps of such legendary bands as Warrior, Rough Cutt and Psychotic Waltz, BENEDICTUM are San Diego, California's latest and mightiest ambassadors to the world of heavy metal.
Conjuring the power, mystique and grandeur of early Rainbow and classic Savatage yet forging a sound that's uniquely their own, BENEDICTUM's stylish, epic brand of metal delivers on all fronts: Awesome riffing, fierce rhythms, strong melodies, shredding leads, and delicate textures converge at the crossroads of tradition and 21st Century innovation, topped off by what is truly one of the most extraordinary voices in metal, courtesy of Veronica Freeman, whose pipes have to be heard to be believed.
After toiling away locally, BENEDICTUM, formerly known as Bound, came to the attention of Dio guitarist Craig Goldy who was impressed enough with what he heard that he turned the group on to long-time friend and former bandmate, Jeff Pilson (ex-Dokken, Dio). Equally blown away by the band's raw talent and untapped potential, Pilson took on the role of producer and recorded BENEDICTUM at his Los Angeles area studio.
The result of these first sessions are the 3 songs displayed here on myspace.com. From the band's anthemic signature tune, the crushing and impossibly catchy 'Benedictum', to the melodic stylings of 'Wicca', and the majestic, unrelenting 'Misogyny', summed up by Veronica's spirited and emphatic proclamation, "I'm the bitch that you can't ignore!", BENEDICTUM are laying down the law in a big way and coming up winners all the way.
BENEDICTUM are definitely not an act that will be denied for much longer. The band's forthcoming debut album, scheduled for completion over the coming months and due out in the fall, promises to be a serious cut above the rest, poised to position these uncompromising pirates of the underground at the forefront of the new classic metal generation in 2005 and beyond
