Sanctity Latest News

NEW SITE CHANGES!

Mon, 06 Oct 2008 00:00:00 GMT

You may have noticed that over the past few months quiet changes have been made to the site. First we gave you new artist pages. Check out your favorite and you'll find widgets, videos, music, and much more. Plus they look great.

A few weeks back we also updated our Artists page. You'll see highlighted artists up top in blue. These change as artists are updated with news, video, and music. This is a great page to make your first port-of-call after the news section!

Today we've relaunched three other pages. Music and Video are all new. You can now embed all of our music and video posted to the site in your blog, web site, or MySpace/Facebook profiles. At the right of these pages you'll see charts driven by what YOU do on our site. You can also leave comments at all songs and videos, rate them, and favorite them in our new profile system (more on that in a sec).

The Releases page has gotten a huge makeover. Every album now has its own home page where you can see the available tracks, rate it, leave a review, or comment on others' reviews. Snazzy huh?

Finally, we just launched our new profile pages. If you're a subscriber to our email newsletters, you can log in, add your own picture, keep track of the latest updates on our site (and partner sites), follow your favorite videos and music, and tell us what bands you want to hear about.

Of course, many of these new features require that you be a member of the site to use them, so please join today!

We are, of course, in a beta phase and need your help to make the site work the best for YOU. If you see any problems or want to suggest changes to the new features, please send an email to webmaster@roadrunnerrecords.com with "NEW SITE REPORT" in the subject line. If you receive an error, please be as detailed as possible, including what page you were on, what browser you are using, and copy any error message you receive into the body of the email.

Please feel free to leave comments here below!

Cheers!

SANCTITY BRING BLOODSHED ON THE ROAD

Wed, 05 Sep 2007 21:40:25 GMT

North Carolina thrashers Sanctity are gearing up to conquer the road again. After a successful run with respected progressive metallers Symphony X, the band is cranking the volume up to 11 and heading out on the Black Tyranny Tour.

The tour will feature headliners Machine Head and Arch Enemy, as well as Throwdown. Sanctity front man Jared MacEachern will also be taking over backing vocal duties for label-mates Machine Head throughout the tour, filling in for injured bassist Adam Duce. "We're really stoked to have found a guy as killer as Jared to help us through this situation," commented Machine Head drummer Dave McClain. Kicking off on September 7th in California, the month long tour is poised to deliver Sanctity as a seasoned brand of thrash to welcoming audiences.

Sanctity recently shot a video for their upcoming single "Beloved Killer" with director Ramon Boutviseth (Seemless, Daylight Dies) in their home town of Asheville, North Carolina. Boutviseth has directed two of the band's previous videos, for "Zeppo" and "Beneath The Machine." The video for "Beloved Killer" is set to premiere on September 6.

Metal Maniacs magazine has praised the band for offering a "modern twist on old-school thrash," standing amongst an elite few American bands spearheading the modern thrash revival. Come see their trailblazing thrash explosion on the Black Tyranny Tour!

Sanctity's Roadrunner debut album Road To Bloodshed is out now.

GET READY FOR THE BLACK TYRANNY TOUR

Mon, 27 Aug 2007 17:10:58 GMT

Get ready for the Black Tyranny Tour, featuring Machine Head, Arch Enemy, Throwdown and Sanctity - click HERE for dates and order your ticket today.

Unfortunately, Machine Head bassist Adam Duce will miss the Black Tyranny Tour in the U.S. due to a broken leg suffered while dirt biking in Redding, CA. Initially thought to be nothing more than a bad sprain, x-rays later confirmed the break, which required surgery to attach a steel plate and two screws to the broken bone. A disappointed Duce laments, "It sucks to be in this position, because we have such a killer tour set up for the end of the summer and now we'll have to find a replacement for me. I've never missed one show that this band has ever played up to this point and I never thought I would see the day when Machine Head would be playing and I wouldn't be on stage." The band are currently rehearsing with temporary bassist candidates and are in the final stages of selecting Duce's replacement, the details of which will be announced as soon as they are determined. All Black Tyranny dates in the U.S. will go on as scheduled, and Duce will be returning for the Australian and European legs of The Black Crusade Tour, beginning with the band's Loudpark date in Japan.

Machine Head's latest album, The Blackening, has already been voted the year's best at the Kerrang! Awards - the first of many kudos yet to come, so pick it up in stores today.

MACHINE HEAD: THE BLACK TYRANNY TOUR

Tue, 17 Jul 2007 18:45:35 GMT

The onslaught that is "The Black Tyranny Tour" begins Friday, September 7th and will rip a swath across North America well into October! With Machine Head and Arch Enemy both performing full headlining sets and Throwdown and Sanctity supporting, you won't want to miss this tour!

Machine Head frontman Robb Flynn states "Man, it's just an endless stream of good news here in Machine Head-land, we are so fucking stoked to be going out with some of our favorite bands, here in the U.S., on what is sure to be THE most brutal metal tour of the Fall! Machine Head, Arch Enemy, Throwdown and Sanctity are going to bring the pain to you motherfuckers, and carnage will have no rules on this tour. Beware The Black Tyranny!!!"

Arch Enemy's Angela Gossow adds, "Arch Enemy teaming up with Machine Head in the U.S. is a big FUCK YOU to everybody who dwells in the past! We certainly aren't! Instead we're looking forward to crushing the U.S. together and leaving nothing but a tangled wreck of molten metal in our wake!"

Gossow continues, "As an added bonus for Arch Enemy fans, this will be the first time in three years that the (recently reunited) Amott brothers will be bringing their insane dual-guitar shredding to American soil! I am very excited to get back on stage and celebrate the sheer power of extreme music, all wrapped up in this fantastic tour package!"

"Let freedom ring with a METAL blast!!!"

The Black Tyranny Tour promises night after pummeling night of power from some of metal's finest. From the first note to the last, The Black Tyranny Tour will be spoken of long after it crushes your town, so if there is one show this year that you can't afford to miss, this is it. Prepare, The Black Tyranny is coming your way!

Machine Head's latest and possibly the best metal album ever is The Blackening, available for download here.

TRIVIUM KICK UP THEIR FEET BEFORE FAMILY VALUES

Mon, 04 Jun 2007 13:00:15 GMT

Trivium have returned from their grueling The Crusade tour in Europe. Sounds like they had a blast and have posted the below update to www.trivium.org and their MySpace page. Nice set of stats at the end. Make sure you check out their brand new video for The Rising.

"We want to thank everyone who came out to support the shows and all the bands on the recently completed European leg of The Crusade World Tour.

After 8 months of non-stop worldwide touring we are heading home to Florida for some time off until the Family Values Tour kicks off across North America on July 20th.

The past eight months of touring The Crusade started off last October 2006 and saw us storm across North America on a headline run (with friends The Sword, Protest The Hero, Seemless, Sanctity & Cellador) then over to Europe to finish off the year supporting the mighty Iron Maiden.

We then started up again in early January 2007 and headed off to Japan and then over to Australia and New Zealand for the Big Day Out. After that we came back through North America (with good friends Lamb Of God, Machine Head & Gojira) then immediately hopped on a plane over to Europe again for a massive 65 day headliner (supported by Annihilator, Gojira & Sanctity). No rest for the wicked...

We want to thank the bands Annihilator, Gojira and Sanctity, our management, Roadrunner Records world-wide, Bravado, The Agency Group, the promoters all of our support teams our tour management and production teams the crews, everyone who helped put this tour together and made it happen. We also want to thank our family and friends and those who help us to do we do.

Most importantly, we want to thank YOU - THE FANS - who came out to the shows and who make all of this possible. Thanks for coming out to the shows and banging your heads and whatever else you banged. We appreciate it. Keep an eye out soon for some exciting tour news to come shortly as we have some fun plans to finish up the last few months of 2007.

Below are some interesting facts around this leg of The Crusade World Tour:

European Crusade:
65 days
51 cities visited
44 gigs
17 countries
11,800 miles traveled
7 gallons engine oil
1757 gallons Diesel
7 Ferries
176 cases of water
88 cases of beer
tons of wine
44 bottles of Vodka

Enjoy the summer.

Matt, Corey, Paolo & Travis"

TRIVIUM UPDATE FROM THE ROAD

Wed, 16 May 2007 18:25:41 GMT

Trivium Update From Road:

"Checking in from Europe again! We've got a day off today so I felt like unloading some info on ya of what has been going on lately.

"After the crazy Ireland and UK tour we ventured into mainland Europe for the first time headlining and so far it's been fantastic.

'All the shows have been rocking with some really memorable ones Berlin, Warsaw, Stockholm, Paris (hottest show ever!) and I'm sure the upcoming shows will not disappoint too!

"Besides the shows, all of guys in all the bands have been getting together to have some fun parties on this tour. In Hertford, Germany during the 'metal' night at the club Jared (Sanctity) and myself proceded to get shitfaced and headbang and mosh with everyone in the club. Then in Helsinki myself and Alexi from CHILDREN OF BODOM got up on stage and rocked out with ANNIHILATOR to 'King Of The Kill' (that was a blast).

"The bus rides have been fun too since Sanctity have found a way to break their ice cream truck touring van, AGAIN!

"So they've been joining us on the Trivium bus (we can't get rid of them!) so drinks have been flying. In Poland the roads aren't very smooth so after drinking a lot of vodka it was a challenge to play 'first person to spill their drink gets punched' - Jared spilled about 10 seconds after the game started ha ha.

"In Gothenburg, Sweden we meet up wtih some old touring friends Bjorn and Peter from IN FLAMES and Sharlee from ARCH ENEMY and hung around on the bus having some drinks and shooting the shit just like old times ha ha.

"The ANNIHILATOR guys are quite the bunch and for some reason at a certain point in the night they feel the urge to get naked and run around streaking, and it's not the best feeling when you turn around and see 5 naked Canadians running at you. That shit is scary eh!

"Alright, well, that's all I got for now. Take care and see you at the shows!"
