Kissing Judas Release Their New Album False Saint Album Release August 12th At The BFE Rock Club

By Kevin Wildman

One of the best parts of doing a local magazine is when I find a local band that really has something to offer the music community, both local and worldwide. For me, Kissing Judas is the band that most local bands aspire to be. They are the kind of band who really have the ambition to make it in the music business. And the best part of all this is they have the music, the talent, and the personality to back it up.

The band is releasing their new album, False Saint, and it contains ten of the most well crafted songs that I have ever heard that has come out of Houston, Texas. The styles and music vary from song to song, which is a really wonderful thing. No two songs are the same. The time and effort has certainly been put into this release and feature the elements of what you might be hearing out of one of the most accomplished bands on the National scene, or even Worldwide. Titles of the songs on the album include “Not Today,” “Rise,” “Save Me,” “Taste Like Blue,” “Last Days Of Youth,” “Cheshire,” “Neon Avenue,” “Cabaret,” “Alone,” and “The Road.”

These songs are so good that the band even had some big names in the music business lining up to make a contribution to this project. Ratt’s legendary lead singer heard the song “Save Me” and had to be a part of this project. As you can expect, he sings the lead vocal on this song. He loved it so much. Two of rock’s legendary bassists joined in on this project as well. Rudy Sarzo, who you may remember from Quiet Riot, Whitesnake, and Dio also had to play on “Save Me” as well. And how about bassist Billy Sheehan, who’s performed and recorded with Steve Vai, David Lee Roth, and Mr. Big. He fell in love with two songs on here, “Cheshire,” and “The Road” and just had to lend his guitar prowess to them. Kissing Judas certainly find themselves in fine company with these great musicians.
