Hailing deep from the coastal depths of Southampton lies SAVINI, a blackened thrash band fresh to the scene with their debut EP "Into the Arms of Evil". With the release, the band are slowly carving a name for themselves, with shows lined up across the south coast and beyond.

The setlist is a blistering mix of the aforementioned album and tracks from Bayley's tenure in Maiden - an acoustic rendition of often forgotten 'X Factor' track "2 AM" surprises the most - and Bayley very much has the crowd in his palm.

The release is backed by an equally striking video, directed by Militarie Gun's own Ian Shelton.
