Get ready to headbang and raise your devil horns as Spillage, the hard rock/doom metal powerhouse, prepares to release their highly anticipated fourth album, aptly titled "Phase Four". With a release date set for September 8, 2023, this album is expected to leave a lasting mark on the metal scene. And as if that weren't exciting enough, it features the legendary Bruce Franklin from Trouble, who also co-produced the album and lends his backing vocals to the electrifying track, "Nothing To See".
Since their formation in 2013, Spillage has been forging their path in the world of heavy music. Guitarist Tony Spillman, the visionary behind the band, brought together a group of talented musicians with decades of experience under their belts. Their sound is firmly rooted in hard rock, blues, and jazz, drawing inspiration from iconic acts like Uriah Heep, Trouble, and Deep Purple. It's a recipe for sonic excellence that has captivated audiences around the globe.
With their self-titled debut album released in 2015, Spillage showcased their impressive musicianship and songwriting prowess. The record featured the powerful vocals of Lothar Keller (The Skull, Sacred Dawn) and the guest appearances of the legendary Bruce Franklin on guitar and backing vocals. Spillage was well on their way to making their mark in the metal world.
Over the years, the band experienced some lineup changes, but the core remained intact. In 2015, Lothar and Willie bid farewell to pursue other musical projects, and bassist Billy McGuffey joined the ranks. Then, during the Maryland Doomfest in 2016, fate brought them the talented Elvin Rodriguez from the Philadelphia area. With just a few days to prepare, Elvin auditioned on stage and won over the hearts of both the band and the crowd. He has since become the charismatic frontman for Spillage, solidifying their lineup.
"Blood of Angels", their sophomore release in January 2019, was met with critical acclaim worldwide, firmly establishing Spillage as a force to be reckoned with in the metal realm. They seamlessly blended complex keyboard melodies, dual-guitar harmonics, and a rhythm section that hit like a sonic avalanche, creating a distinctive sound that defies categorization.
While the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted their touring plans, it couldn't dampen Spillage's creative spirit. They harnessed the downtime to channel their energy into crafting their third album, "Electric Exorcist", which was unleashed in October 2021. The album showcased a more mature and collaborative songwriting process, demonstrating their evolution as a band. To keep their fans entertained during the wait for their fourth opus, Spillage released a captivating live album, "Spillage Live! Digipak", featuring their powerful performance from RIFF FEST in July 2022.
As Spillage celebrates their tenth anniversary, "Phase Four" promises to be a monumental milestone for the band. Co-produced by the legendary Bruce Franklin, this album takes the band's sound to new heights, pushing the boundaries of their sonic universe. With hard-hitting tracks like "Nail Biter", the band unleashes their signature blend of heavy riffs, infectious melodies, and thought-provoking lyrics, creating a captivating experience for fans old and new.
