DEADLY BLESSING: Demo Track Featuring New Singer Posted Online

January 4, 2007

New Jersey-based metallers DEADLY BLESSING have announced the addition of singer Stephen Childs to the group's ranks.

"Having meetings, and jamming with Stephen over the past month, the members of DEADLY BLESSING and Stephen have bonded with a new chemistry that seems to be a perfect fit with the new songs that the band is writing," the group writes in a press release. "DEADLY BLESSING are very happy with Stephen's performances."

Childs, who runs a local music school called Musically Speaking and teaches voice and guitar, reportedly sounds like a cross between Ray Alder (FATES WARNING) and Bruce Dickinson (IRON MAIDEN). A new demo track for the song "Bullets" can be heard at www.myspace.com/tom_umba.

DEADLY BLESSING's previous vocalist, Ski, left the band last November to devote his life to God and his Christian metal outfit FAITH FACTOR.

As previously reported, a video clip of DEADLY BLESSING performing a cover of LIZZY BORDEN's "Notorious" live at the Boricua Metal Fest III in Cayey, Puerto Rico on November 11, 2006 has been posted online at YouTube.com.

DEADLY BLESSING's version of "Notorious" is slated to appear on the LIZZY BORDEN tribute album, entitled "Baptized in Blood", to be released via Metallicarchangel Records. Other bands that are expected to appear on the CD include TWISTED TOWER DIRE ("Godiva"),ICARUS WITCH ("Rod of Iron"),FAITH FACTOR ("American Metal"),MALAKIS REIGN ("Hell is for Heroes"),MYSTIC FORCE ("Me Against the World"),OCTOBER 31 ("No Time to Lose"),IMMORTAL AVENGER ("Be One of Us"),SOLEMNITY ("Visions"),SILENCE, MOBSCENE, STRONGHOLD and LIGEIA.

DEADLY BLESSING recorded "Notorious" in early March 2006. According to Ski, the recording sessions — which marked the band's first time in the studio since the recording of their classic "Ascend from the Cauldron" in 1988 — "went great."
