Following in the footsteps of such legendary bands as Warrior, Rough Cutt and Psychotic Waltz, BENEDICTUM, with roots in San Diego, California, are truly mighty ambassadors in the world of Heavy Metal. Invoking power reminiscent of early Rainbow, the definitive sound of Savatage, and a nod to all the Gods of Heavy Metal; BENEDICTUM unleashes a stylish, epic brand of Metal on all fronts. Aggressive riffs, fierce rhythms, strong melodies, shredding leads and delicate textures converge at the crossroads where tradition and 21st century innovation merge. Veronica Freeman"s vocal gymnastics are the pit-bull on the pant leg of heavy metal. Benedictum are finally releasing their anticipated fourth record. A new line-up has solidified the bands drive along with an even more powerful sound. Veronica "The V" Freeman and Pete Wells have grown by leaps and bounds and have joined forces with Rikard Stjernquist, formerly of JAG PANZER, who has brought a whole new level of drive to the band. "Working with Rikard has been a joy and I am learning a lot," says Veronica. Aric Avina formerly of Tynator is now manning the bass. With Jeff Pilson returning to the producer"s seat and a new set of songs which masterfully combine the heaviness and the epic melodies of the first 2 albums, Benedictum will take no prisoners this time!
