Red Warlock becomes NEGACY

[Rider of Theli]

This past March/April I had the opportunity to work directly with a talented prog-power metal act calling themselves RED WARLOCK.





They traveled from from Italy (the Isle of Sardinia to be more precise) on their own dime for the chance to play a string of weekend-to-weekend dates in the southeastern U.S. And though the shows were lacking in regard to turnout - as most weekday metal shows with unknown bands tend to do - the fans who made it out to each show truly enjoyed this act and what they delivered on stage.

I heard feedback afterwards comparing the band's style to everyone from Nevermore to Savatage. Every member of the band plus the two girlfriends/wives who traveled with them thoroughly enjoyed their time in the U.S. and want to return someday. I suggested they attempt to get themselves added to a larger named tour in order to be placed in front of a larger audience. I also suggested they reach out to Glenn, because I believe this act belongs on the PPUSA stage.

So the wait begins.

During the Summer months Red Warlock has undergone a transformation of sorts. They had been debating for some time to attempt a name change to soemthing more suitable, maybe something more catchy. The decision was made, and... well, I'll let them tell you in their own words...

Red Warlock change name into NEGACY ('nɛgəsi).

During all these years of growth, which has led us towards various different musical directions, we felt the need for a new monicker, suitable for the dark modern nature of the band.
Since a while we are dealing with topics as cultural decadence and human condition decay, seeing, behind it all, a well thought machinery.
The result was to create "Negacy", a fusion of the words "Negation" and "Legacy".
This change is for sure the symbol of a fresh start for the band, which is setting up for working like never before, to gather as much as possible from its past and future.
A new beginning, taking over and carrying on Red Warlock's aim throughout the years, with even more awareness.
The upcoming album, titled "Negacy", completely self-produced, will clearly demonstrate what stated before.

Good song, even though a little more aggressive vocally than before I'd say.
