About SAVING GRACE (NEW ZEALAND TOUR DATES UP NOW!!!)
Saving Grace formed in early 2005 in Gisborne City on the East Coast of New Zealand.
Combining brutal metal driven riffage, big breakdowns and mosh parts with the passion, intensity and ethics of traditional hardcore, Saving Grace
deliver a blistering and crowd engaing live performance, never failing to leave a strong impression.
Lyrically the band deals with topics of faith, family, friendship as well as the darker side of life including betrayal, suicide, violence and abuse.
The band released a self titled 5 track demo EP in June 2005 on East Side Crew Hardcore which was picked up by Global Routes Music for full nationwide
distribution, which is currently out of press.
2006 saw the highly successful release of a new split CD with Hastings metalcore band Upheld, which features two previously unreleased tracks as well as tribute covers.
Saving Grace are no strangers to the long roads of Aotearoa and their passion for touring has secured the band a strong and dedicated
nationwide fan base as well as the reputation of the most brutal Christian hardcore act in New Zealand to date.
Since the formation of the band, Saving Grace have shared stages and toured with some of the biggest names in national and international
hardcore and metal including The Bleeders, 8 Foot Sativa, Parkway Drive, Wish For Wings, Carpathian, Bleeding Through, Comeback Kid and Darkest Hour to name a few,
as well as notable appearances on numerous New Zealand festivals including Hamtown Smakdown 06, Parachute 06 and 07 and Killerfest 07 and 08.
Early 2008 saw the band release their highly anticipated full length studio album 'BEHIND ENEMYLINES' which in it's first weeks of release received rave reviews across New Zealand, Europe and USA. The album is being supported by relentless international touring throughout the year.
Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty! Early in the morning our song shall rise to Thee; Holy, holy, holy, merciful and mighty! God in three Persons, blessèd Trinity!
Holy, holy, holy! All the saints adore Thee, Casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea; Cherubim and seraphim falling down before Thee, Who was, and is, and evermore shall be.
Holy, holy, holy! though the darkness hide Thee, Though the eye of sinful man Thy glory may not see; Only Thou art holy; there is none beside Thee, Perfect in power, in love, and purity.
Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty! All Thy works shall praise Thy Name, in earth, and sky, and sea; Holy, holy, holy; merciful and mighty! God in three Persons, blessèd Trinity!
