Vocalist / guitarist Michael John comments:
“Our Canada tour last year was a massive highlight for Arcane Saints. Travelling all the way from Australia was a huge gamble for an indie band like us, but we were really impressed by how passionate and supportive of live music the audiences were. We’re delighted to be invited to play Indie Week Canada this year and are looking forward to rocking the great city of Toronto again!”
Arcane Saints released their debut album ‘Turning The Tide‘ earlier this summer on July 26th via Firestarter Distribution. The album is a rich blend of grunge, blues and metal combined with a pop rock sensibility and produced bymulti-Grammy Award winning producer Toby Wright (Metallica, Kiss, Korn, Alice In Chains) whom after hearing their earlier singles on US radio, invited theArcane Saints to his hometown of Nashville, TN to record their debut. Toby was a close friend of the late Layne Stayley, singer of Alice In Chains and delightedArcane Saints by allowing them to use a microphone once owned by the late grunge legend during the recording. In addition to recording, a chance late night meeting in a Nashville bar also lead to Peter Keys (pianist from the legendary Lynyrd Skynyrd) making a guest appearance on the album.
Upon its release the album spent 10 days at number one on the sales charts at Waterfront Records, one of Australia’s largest online music retailers. Shortly afterwards, the band became the first Australian band to grace the cover of USA’s Music Insider Magazine.

About:
As a relative of Iron Maiden founding member Steve Harris, music was always in singer/guitarist Michael John’s blood. Although born in the UK, he grew up in New Zealand. After winning The Pacific International Song Writing Competition, Michael spent the prize money on a one way ticket to Melbourne, Australia. Shortly afterwards, he formed Arcane Saints.
Following a few early line up changes, Michael “Sheep” Gooding joined the band as lead guitarist after impressing them with his guitar skills and rock n’ roll hair. Originally from a small town in the outback of Australia, Sheep conquered his boredom in the desert town by honing his guitar skills. Several different drummers came and went before the band finally found their ideal, hard hitting drummer in Sam Sablinskis. With a professional percussionist as a father, Sam was always going to be an accomplished musician.
After a serious injury forced their long term bassist to leave the band, Steve Malone took over bass duties. He had met the others when his previous band was on the same bill at a festival in China. With his simplistic, solid bass playing he was a perfect fit for Arcane Saints.
In a rock scene that is contrived, fake and lacking in “danger,” perhaps the tide is finally turning.
