Creeping up from the North, Boston’s WORSHIPPER is a dark new voice in heavy music. Drawing comparisons to such luminaries as Dio-era Black Sabbath, UFO, and classic-era Scorpions, WORSHIPPER create something new and epic from the echoes of the past. Through their unique mix of contemporary and classic influences, WORSHIPPER prove that the soul of melodic heavy music still burns brightly.
​
WORSHIPPER, named as "Metal Artist of the Year" at the 2015 and 2016 Boston Music Awards, was chosen over 23 other participating bands as champions of the 2016 "Rock and Roll Rumble," a competition hailed as "The World Series Of Boston Rock!" They are signed to Tee Pee Records and booked internationally by Heavy Talent Agency, www.heavytalent.com.
​
WORSHIPPER is touring the US in 2018 and recording a full-length LP follow up to 2016's, "Shadow Hymns."
