Speaking exclusively to Ghost Cult Magazine, Savage Messiah drummer Andrea Gorio spilled the beans on a shift in style for the multi-national thrash band.

And now we’re writing the new album, and hopefully we’ll record it by the end of the year to come out next year. Usually you have two years from one album to the next, and then we have some months to write, and then there’s six or seven months from when you record it to when it’s coming out, so you want to write quicker your material and get to the studio as soon as you can so you don’t waste any of that time.

We’re looking to write something different this time. Always, always it’ll be old school, but we’re thinking something more Iron Maiden. Iron Maiden is the favourite band of all four of us. It’s going to be more melodic, something more heavy metal. It’s cool writing thrashy and thrashing stuff, but I think it suits us better to be more heavy metal, more melodic. It’s going to be a bit different.

If you think about it, we are two English guys, I’m Italian and we have one guy who is Czech and we have one main thing in common, and that is Iron Maiden. We grew up with them, and we’re just metal kids who want to write good music. Dave (Silver) is a big fan of Judas Priest as well, and we’ll bring that in, and put that together, and I think it’s going to be our best album.
