Blessed By A Broken Heart New Album

Monday, September 1st, 2008

Blessed by a Broken Heart will be releasing their new album titled Pedal To the Metal this Tuesday (2/9/08).

With soaring metal riffs complimented by super-fast double pedal work coupled with 80s-esque drum machines and vocals, these guys are sure to cause a stir in the scene in the near future.

Be sure to check them out on tour later this year and we’ll see you at The Cathouse in Glasgow on 9th December for, from what I’ve heard, will be an awesome show.

Check out a new song from the band, Carry On, on their myspace and expect an album review soon.

The female vocalist has one of the most amazing vocal ranges you’ll ever hear - delivering sweet singing one second and brutal growls the next. They’ve even managed to get the Dukes of Hazzard Dixie horn in there.
