"a masterclass on veteran musician showmanship...Worshipper play the kind of darkly epic rock that can only be found in the vinyl collection of your cool uncle." - VANYALAND

"it’s awesome, it’s very heavy and very hard but not too heavy and hard" - BOSTON HERALD

"a two-guitar assault that was at times Thin Lizzy and at times Iron Maiden/slow-Slayer...They looked like a group coming into the realization that they could be something special together, and it was exciting to watch." - THE OBELISK

Boston-based metal band WORSHIPPER has signed to NYC's Tee Pee Records, the independent record label known for releasing landmark albums from acts such as Graveyard, Earthless and Sleep. WORSHIPPER will release its full-length debut, Shadow Hymns, on August 26. Recorded at Q Division, Mad Oak, and Converse Rubber Tracks Studios with producers Benny Grotto (Aerosmith, Orange Goblin) and David Minehan (The Replacements), the LP showcases the group's melodically thunderous sound that The Obelisk says "balances classic metal riffs and doom tendencies with soaring-style clean vocals and fast-moving grooves, as much Candlemass as High on Fire".

Boasting a sound described as "darkly epic", which has called for comparison to luminary artists such as Scorpions, UFO and Judas Priest, WORSHIPPER has earned consistent accolades since its formation, being named the "Metal Artist of the Year" at the 2015 Boston Music Awards and being chosen over 23 other participating bands as champions of the 2016 "Rock and Roll Rumble", a competition hailed as "The World Series of Boston Rock" that has taken place annually since 1979. Through its unique mix of contemporary and classic influences, WORSHIPPER prove that the horn-throwing soul of melodic heavy music's past still burns brightly.

"Shadow Hymns is a document of four guys melding four unique artistic and sonic imaginations into one vision," comments guitarist Alejandro Necochea. "The sound is loud and familiar. We favor classic guitars played through classic amps, with melodies and heroics; not unlike the records we grew up on. This is exactly the record we wanted to make and we are beyond thrilled that people will finally get to hear it."

In addition to Necochea, WORSHIPPER features John Brookhouse (vocals / guitar), Dave Jarvis (drums) and Bob Maloney (vocals, bass).
