This just in on the ol’ broken down?PR wire:

Rampaging Oakland, CA metal quartet Saviours have entered San Francisco?s Lucky Cat Recording Studios with producer Phil Manley (of Trans Am/The Fucking Champs) to begin work on the follow up to its critically acclaimed sophomore LP Into Abaddon.

Set for an October 13, 2009 release date, the as-yet-untitled Saviours album? will feature the forcible lineup of guitarist/vocalist Austin Barber, bassist Cyrus Comiskey drummer Scott Batiste and guitarist Sonny Reinhardt (ex-Watch Them Die), who joined the band in 2008. Fresh off a blistering performance at the 2009 Roadburn Festival in Tilburg, Holland — where the band shared the stage with such like-minded acts as Neurosis, Om and Saint Vitus — Saviours now hit the studio to capture what will undoubtedly be its most venomous recording to date.

In advance of the album?s release, Saviours will issue three new 7? records, all of which will drop on June 23. The vinyl-only EPs will be strictly limited to 500 copies each with artwork branded by Tim Lehi of San Francisco?s BlackHeart Tattoo. Details on the three EPs are as follows:

Saviours, Acid Hand 7? EP (features the new tracks ?Acid Hand? b/w ?Slave to the Hex?).

Saviours, Burnin? Cross 7? EP (features the new track ?Burnin? Cross b/w ?Fire in the Sky? [Saxon cover]).

Saviours, F.G.T. 7? EP (features the new track ?F.G.T.? b/w ?Running Wild? [Judas Priest cover]).

The new Saviours song ?Acid Hand? has been posted online courtesy of ALARM Magazine. Check out the scorching track now at this location.
